ABOUT
What is the iGEM Competition?
The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. Student teams are given a kit of biological parts at the beginning of the summer from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working at their own schools over the summer, they use these parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells. more...

The Giant Jamboree

The Giant Jamboree will be the largest gathering of Synthetic Biologists worldwide! This year, everyone can participate, instead of having regional events where a percentage of teams advanced to the Championship, we will have one single event.

We are expecting around 3000 participants, so come join the fun as teams present their projects, show their posters and share the iGEM experience.

This event will be truly International and Inclusive. Teams from all around the world and from a multiple disciplines will have worked very hard all summer and will be ready to celebrate their efforts and achievements.

iGEM HQ also has reasons to celebrate. This year is our 10 year anniversary! Come join us in this very special date.

The Hynes Convention Center

The event will take place in the Hynes convention Center.
