iGEM Lab

First iGEM laboratory built in Brazil!

In our second year as iGEMers, one the main goals was to insert iGem as a research line in the university. Our initial plan was to have a lab that would help us work in our Mercury bacter project in an efficient way. We wanted to have a place where we could, work talk about the project, and work at a competition level. However, we were looking for something that would benefit the university and the population, and something that would stimulate us to discuss about our current projects and the ones to come, something that make us very excited! We worked on the strategies needed and with the help of our professors Dr. Carlos Gustavo and Dr. Spartaco Astolfi we were able to not only reach one of our goals to have our own lab for the Mercury Bacter project…

We proudly introduce you the very first iGem lab in Brazil!!!!!!!
