WHAT IS IGEM
iGEM is an international competition organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston.
The competition is built upon a new scientific field known as synthetic biology; the design and construction of biological devices and systems for useful purposes.
Undergraduate student teams from all around the world compete to design the best real world application. Last years winning team were able to re-design bacteria to act as a type of sensor for rotten meat. The design would make sell-by-dates of meat redundant, and therefore help to reduce wastage of food; surprisingly still a big problem in the 21st century.
