The Oxford iGEM team attended the meet up organised by the team at the University of Sheffield on Friday the 18th of July. The purpose of this visit was to continue building the relationships between teams that were started at the Oxford-based meet up in June. The team gave a short presentation on the project so far and had a great time getting to know the Sheffield, York, Kent and UEA-Norwich teams!<br><br>

Glen, Phil and Andy were OxiGEM’s representatives at the YSB 2.0 meet up at the Wellcome Trust and UCL. We were very pleased to be asked to give a workshop to our fellow young synthetic biologists about the issues surrounding intellectual property and iGEM.<br><br>
