Conferences

Biotransfert Day

Organized by students of INSA Toulouse every year, Biotransfert day is a full-day of conferences about biology. This year thema was Synthetic Biology and we got famous stakeholders like Philippe Marlière, one of the leader in synthetic Biology in France, or Thierry Magnin, director of the Catholic Institute of Lyon. We had also the great honor to brielfly introduce our project at the end of the day.

COS Presentation (TWB)
Organized by Mr MONSAN on february,15th, the aim of this presentation was to invite for TWB all their scientific partners and investors in order to show them the perspective of this new company. It was for our iGEM team a great opportunity to present our project in the goal of finding new financial supports for the iGEM competition.

See you in Boston ;-)

After we took contact with some CNRS researchers about tips for a better understanding of recombinases, we were invited to present our system to the IBCG (laboratory of microbiology and molecular biology of toulouse).
Thanks a lot to those people who helped us to improve our system !
