About
iGEM is the international genetically engineered machines competition. The purpose of the competition is to specify an engineered biological system using DNA. You can read more about the competition here. Systems will be constructed from standard biological parts.
The MIT iGEM team for 2006 will be made up of 4-5 students working fulltime during summer 2006 on engineering a biological system. In addition, we will have 4 graduate student advisors and 1 faculty member.
What you can do
In 2004, students in Texas built a strain of bacteria that could be used to take bacterial photographs. Here's one of the first pictures they took. Their work was published in Nature.
Team members
Advisors
- Barry Canton (bcanton)
- Austin Che (ausche)
- Drew Endy (endy)
- Jason Kelly (jasonk)
- Reshma Shetty (rshetty)
Students
To be determined.
Applying to participate
If you're interested in applying to be on the 2006 iGEM team, please email one of the above folks (@mit.edu). It would be useful, but not essential, for you to have some wet lab experience. Most important is that you be motivated about engineering biology.
Please provide the following in your email:
- Your resume
- A short statement of why you would like to join.
Sponsorship
If you're interested in providing sponsorship for the 2006 MIT iGEM team (either financial or otherwise), please contact Drew Endy at (endy AT mit DOT edu).
