The International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM) is the premiere competition in Synthetic Biology. Working at their own schools over the summer, student teams build biological systems of their own design using standard, interchangeable parts. This combination of project design and competition format is an exceptionally motivating and effective teaching method. iGEM gives its participants the opportunity to learn not only science and engineering but entrepreneurship, leadership, safety & security, ethics, and more, all in a cutting-edge and motivational environment.

International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition
The International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM) is the premiere competition in Synthetic Biology. Working at their own schools over the summer, student teams build biological systems of their own design using standard, interchangeable parts. This combination of project design and competition format is an exceptionally motivating and effective teaching method. iGEM gives its participants the opportunity to learn not only science and engineering but entrepreneurship, leadership, safety & security, ethics, and more, all in a cutting-edge and motivational environment.

HISTORY
iGEM began in January of 2003 with a month-long course at MIT during their Independent Activities Period (IAP). The students designed biological systems to make cells blink. This design course grew to a summer competition with 5 teams in 2004.


Camille Delebecque and SynBio Consulting have created an interactive map of past iGEM teams and projects. This map goes all the way back to our first year in 2004 and has data for all teams up to 2013 who have participated in the competition since then. Explore where iGEM teams have come from what what projects they have worked on in this great resource.



PROGRAMS

Collegiate Division High School Division Labs Program Registry
University students from different disciplines and backgrounds cooperate to find solutions to today’s biggest challenges. Non profit and academic laboratories can be part of the iGEM community too! Labs have access to distribution kits, part requests, wiki space and more! Students interested in synthetic biology can participate in iGEM at a high school level. With over 20,000 parts, the iGEM Registry is a growing collection of genetic parts that can be mixed and matched to build synthetic biology devices and systems.
FACETS OF iGEM

International and multidisciplinary, iGEM is much more than a competition.
COMPETITION
EDUCATION
TEAMWORK
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
SAFETY AND SECURITY
RESPONSABILITY
COMMUNITY
TECHNOLOGY
International and multidisciplinary, iGEM is much more than a competition.
