Outreach

Our research has many promising outcomes in the society, from the production of possible bio-fuels and cancer-inhibitors to the hopes of using archaea as a more common host for bio-engineering. Ultimately this research pertains to the field of synthetic biology, a field that we enjoy and want others to be more aware of.

Engineering Convention

On September 12, 2013, members of the iGEM team presented their findings at an engineering seminar in the UGA engineering department. Our presentation provided UGA undergraduates and graduate students an opportunity to learn more about the importance of our research, as well as the general field of bio-engineering. We presented at this convention with a similar intent as presenting for the middle school: to raise awareness of our research and get more people involved in the field of synthetic biology.
