<p> I believe that society is in a revolution in which the great potential of biotechnology is being realized. Modern techniques are advancing our understanding of the fundamental workings of biological systems and new applications are being developed daily. This is undoubtedly a very exciting time to be in the position of young scientist entering a field with the resources and support currently being invested. iGEM is a great opportunity to learn about new molecular mechanisms and techniques. I look forward to meet people who have had years of experience in and share a similar appreciation for synthetic biology. Further I hope to share my experience with the members of our team and in doing so develop lasting friendships. </p> | <p> I believe that society is in a revolution in which the great potential of biotechnology is being realized.

<p> I’ve decided to participate in IGEM because it is a great learning experience .It provides an opportunity to learn more about the growing interdisciplinary field of synthetic biology and its applications. As a 3rd year student I have gained some theoretical knowledge in microbiology field and being a part of the IGEM team the idea of working in the lab to test the constructs and biobricks compiled in our project is quite exciting. IGEM is also a good platform to work together with a team of aspiring scientists from different fields of study and with some great researchers as our team mentors there is plenty to learn from them. /<p> | <p> I’ve decided to participate in IGEM because it is a great learning experience .It provides an opportunity to learn more about the growing interdisciplinary field of synthetic biology and its applications.

<p> The global community is approaching a time where it will require innovative ways to maximize its resources. Synthetic biology is going to play a major role in an age where resources are limited and life depends heavily on science. Participating in iGEM will give me the opportunity to get a glimpse into this amazing new branch of science. I’m hoping that my participation in this will inspire others to go into the field of science and explore the world. </p> | <p> The global community is approaching a time where it will require innovative ways to maximize its resources.

<p> Over the last few months that I’ve been part of the IGEM team I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of science, its challenges and the solutions that it offers to real life problems. There are a lot of areas that are still to be discovered which makes it more interesting. It has also exposed me to the vast scientific paths and careers and applications thereof. I’m grateful for this opportunity; I now have no doubt that I made the right choice in pursuing a career in science. </p> | <p> Over the last few months that I’ve been part of the IGEM team I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of science, its challenges and the solutions that it offers to real life problems.
