Welcome to Stockholm's iGEM team's wiki page

This competition aims to create innovative and beneficial advancements of synthetic biology through education, open community and collaboration. Being the first Stockholm-based iGEM team since 2010, our ambition is to promote research and cooperation within universities in Stockholm and to enhance the innovative mindset among students. Moreover, being able to represent and export knowledge about Sweden and the Swedish academia is a key goal. The team consists of in total 19 students from Karolinska Institutet (KI), Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) and Stockholm University (SU). The students have their educational interests within Biotechnology, Biomedicine, Toxicology, Chemistry and Bioentrepreneurship. In addition, two researches from both KI and KTH are represented as advisors for the team. Our contribution to the competition will comprise of a research project with a clear concentration on Medicine and Healthcare. By creating a system to detect very low concentrations of biomarker molecules, we aspire to invent a sustainable approach to efficiently detect disease at an early stage.
