Revision as of 00:03, 29 October 2013
The UC Berkeley iGEM Team had a chance to present and talk to fellow underclassmen at Berkeley about synthetic biology at a Bioengineering 24 seminar. Bioengineering 24 is an introductory seminar designed to give freshmen and sophomores a glimpse of the broad selection of bioengineering. Through the presentation we were able to give our fellow peers an insight to what synthetic biology is, and help instill interest to inspire students to take up the field of synthetic biology.
On the Wednesday afternoon of October 16th, Bernardo Cervantes and Hojae Lee had the exciting opportunity to speak about their UC Berkeley iGEM project to the CEO of Qualcomm, Dr. Paul Jacobs. The UC Berkeley iGEM is one of the few undergraduates to have been supported by the Qualcomm Undergraduate Experiences in Science and Technology (QUEST) program over the summer that offered Berkeley College of Engineering undergraduates with strong academic skills the opportunity to pursue research and engineering design projects. As a fellow Cal Bear who earned his B.S., Masters and Ph.D at UC Berkeley, Dr. Jacobs was excited to hear about our project and accomplishments in the North America Regional Jamboree.
