IGEM:MIT/2006
About
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, this year, there are around 40 schools participating from around the world (see map). You can read more about the competition here.
The MIT iGEM team consists of 6 students working fulltime during summer 2006 on engineering a biological system. In addition, we have 5 graduate student advisors and 1 faculty advisor.
Past Projects
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.
