==How to apply==
If you're interested in applying to be on the 2006 iGEM team, please use the above email address.
 
Please provide the following in your email:
#Your resume
#Your year and major
#A short statement of why you would like to join.
#A statement of your commitment to work full-time in the summer and to help MIT win this competition!
#Optional - Specify a project that you think is doable (i.e. will work at the end of the summer) and will be interesting/cool to build.
 
It would be useful, but not essential, for you to have wet lab experience. Most important is that you be motivated about engineering biology.

iGEM is the international genetically engineered machines competition. The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA. Systems will be constructed from standard biological parts. Although iGEM originated at MIT, in 2006, there were around 40 schools participating from around the world (see map). You can read more about the competition here or read a short description of what the MIT team did. Our project Eau d'E coli won Best System at the 2006 iGEM Jamboree!
