The Japanese iGEM teams took part in the school festival at the University of Tokyo. Our teams shared ideas and gave each other feedbacks. Together, we introduced synthetic biology to the public.
See the “Policy & Practices” page for further information.

In this event, we each introduced our project along with the project from our previous year. We exchanged ideas about each other’s project and gave each other feedbacks. The iGEM LZU-China team also participated in our “Prisoner’s Dilemma Experiment” that we conducted. This experiment is a sociological experiment concerning the safety of genetic modification and is part of our “Policy & Practices”. See the “Policy & Practices” page for further information.

As one of Japan's top universities, Tokyo Institute of Technology seeks to contribute to civilization, peace and prosperity in the world, and aims at developing global human capabilities par excellence through pioneering research and education in science and technology, including industrial and social management. To achieve this mission, we have an eye on educating highly moral students to acquire not only scientific expertise but also expertise in the liberal arts, and a balanced knowledge of the social sciences and humanities, all while researching deeply from basics to practice with academic mastery. Through these activities, we wish to contribute to global sustainability of the natural world and the support of human life. About Tokyo Tech

On September 23th, our team is going to host a meetup in Boston University. We are looking forward to sharing ideas with other iGEM teams. Teams will have the opportunity to present their projects and exchange their ideas in details with other iGEM teams and faculty advisors right before the Giant Jamboree.
