September 24 - 28 -- Hynes Convention Center -- Boston, Ma

The iGEM competition encourages university student researchers to work in teams and 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.

Competition

About

The Giant Jamboree is iGEM collegiate division’s culminating event that showcases research in synthetic biology which spans all disciplines, backgrounds and interests. The accomplishments of these university students are impressive and lead to important advancements in medicine, energy, software, the environment, and more.
With 15 tracks available, there is something for everyone!.

Track name

The quality of the air, water, and land, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies, limits the happiness of humans and other creatures. Can biotechnology be used to help clean the air, provide fresh drinking water, restore or enhance soil quality, terraform a near-Earth asteroid, or protect, preserve, or enhance natural biological diversity?
