Our Story

"iGEM IIT Delhi" is a dedicated lot of students, who have this unquenching thirst for Synthetic Biology. The team, comprising of students from various disciplines, is mentored by the highly experienced research associates and faculty of our college. It is this "Never Give Up!" attitude which proves to be the strongest similarity among each of us. We have worked in a committed manner, with the best of our efforts. But hey, it was not just about the work! We guys did enjoy the time spent together. This summer of 2015 will certainly be the best part in our album of life.

TEAM

Chandel Angad Singh

  • Fifth Year Undergraduate, Department of Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
  • The basic motivation for me be a part of iGEM is that here we can work the way we want. From designing the strategies to encountering every single problem which comes in our way, it's all us. We have the liberty to work on our own and that's the most important part of the team. The actors become famous by the movie they act in, while it’s the director who makes the movie famous! I am the director in this case.

Nikhil Patidar

  • Fourth year Undergraduate, Department of Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
  • Initially, I was involved in introducing new faces with lab basics and later on carried on with creative team as thought provider. Pioneered in conceptualizing the wiki, tour, poster, banner and presentation.
