Team Profile

Hello! We, the iGEM team of IIT Kharagpur, are a team of enthusiastic biotechnologists in training. A mixed group of students of all ages, we strive towards the common goal of competing with the most brilliant young minds in the field while evolving our own knowledge and helping out make the world a slightly better place in the process.

All of us belong to the same discipline of biotechnology with diverse specializations, and we are from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, located in West Bengal, India. Though we share a common interest and discipline, the group itself is quite diverse and the contribution of each person is needed to make things happen. Our group is dedicated and we don't mind burning the midnight oil or sidelining our vacations if that's what it takes.

We have been fortunate in our guides who have been patient and extremely supporting. We may have started out late, but we have high expectations from our team both with regard to the competition and ourselves. It's a learning experience why we won't have fun all the same!
