| - | The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate
| |
| - | synthetic biology competition. iGEM started in 2003 with a month-long course during MIT’s Independent
| |
| - | Activities Period; the first year’s students designed biological systems to make cells blink.
| |
| - | </p>
| |
| | | | |
| - | <p>
| |
| - | This design course grew 5 teams in 2003 to 244 teams in 2014. The teams consist
| |
| - | entirely of students and are guided by supervisors of different backgrounds.
| |
| - | Working at their universities over the summer, teams design synthetically
| |
| - | enhanced organisms. Each iGEM team must also make its own wiki page and
| |
| - | work on fundraising, budget, public relations and human practice.
| |
| - | Some teams also make their own gadget based on their synthetically enhanced
| |
| - | organism.

| |
| - | In the first week of November, multi-disciplinary teams from around the world
| |
| - | will meet in Boston to compete in the Jamboree. Their work will be presented
| |
| - | to a large scientific community at the Hynes Convention Center.

| |
| - | This year, a team of 13 enthusiastic students, with diverse backgrounds, from
| |
| - | TU Delft, Leiden University and Rotterdam University is aiming to bring biology
| |
| - | and electronics closer together, resulting in a cool and necessary application.
| |
| - | We will design and produce an <i>Escherichia coli</i> strain that can transport
| |
| - | electrons and detect landmines as a final application.
