The iGEM Foundation is dedicated to education and competition, advancement of synthetic biology, and the development of open community and collaboration.
The main program at the iGEM Foundation is the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Competition. The iGEM Competition is the premiere student competition in Synthetic Biology. Since 2004, participants of the competition have experienced education, teamwork, sharing, and more in a unique competition setting.
iGEM is also much more than a competition; our community has a long history of involving students and the public in the development of the new field of synthetic biology.

"If you ask five different experts in the field what synthetic biology is, you'll get 7 different definitions."
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary branch of biology, combining disciplines such as biotechnology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, systems biology, biophysics, computer engineering, and is in many ways related to genetic engineering.
The University of Maryland is the state's flagship and land-grant institution with 37,500 students in 12 schools and colleges, 9,000 faculty and staff, and a $1.9B annual operating budget, including $500M in external research funding. It is a member of the Association of American Universities.
