September 24 - 28
Hynes Convention Center
Boston, MA

The iGEM competition encourages University student researchers to work in teams and attempted to solve real-world challenges by building genetically engineered biological systems with standard, interchangeable parts called BioBricks from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Each team manages their own projects, advocates for their research, and secures funding. Teams are also challenged to actively consider and address the safety, security and environmental implications of their work.

Unlink previous year’s competition two tiered structure, this year ALL participants advance to compete in Boston,MA. With no regionals, all participants are invited to the Giant Jamboree to present their accomplishments and compete in front of a global audience.

Come join the fun and share in the excitement as teams showcase their work in Synthetic Biology.

Why is the Jamboree will on September 25-28 ?
The Hynes convention center was not available at our normal times for 2015. We must make reservations more than two years in advance. For example, we are making reservations for 2017 now. For 2016 and 2017, the Jamborees will be held at the end of October to the beginning of November as usual.
