About iGEM

The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate synthetic biology competition. iGEM began in January of 2003.

In the 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. Teams will present their projects at the iGEM Championship Jamboree on November 8-9, 2008.
