The Vanderbilt iGEM team is made up of dedicated undergraduate students who have a passion for synthetic biology. We pride ourselves on being a independent research laboratory run by undergraduate students. In our lab, as long as you have a creativity and a dedicated work ethic, even as a student you can make your ideas for biological inventions into reality. It is a rare place where we as students can go from the spark of an idea, to experimentation , to discovery.
Our members’ interests stretch from biological engineering to bioinformatics and biophysical modeling. We have come together this year as an interdisciplinary team, merging together ideas from the fields of biology, chemistry, computing, and mathematics, in order to develop the kind of innovative projects that only come out of these sorts of immersive collaborations.
