Cuando una persona se encuentra interesada en un tema, busca la manera de obtener los conocimientos del mismo. Por eso, el equipo iGEM UANL realizó 2 talleres principales para educar a nuestros compañeros de nuestra facultad sobre Biología Sintética y Modelaje Matemático. Y como parte de una actividad especial, realizamos un Talles Teórico-Práctico para preparatoria como un método de preparación para la formación del equipo iGEM CIDEB, que hasta ahora ha demostrado ser un equipo competitivo en la categoría de preparatoria de iGEM.

Math Modelling Workshop
This year, the iGEM UANL team decided to establish
an introductory course called 'Mathematical Modeling
in Systems Biology', with the idea of preparing our
faculty students in the mathematical area of biology.
iGEM-UANL team conducted a training workshop to enlist the team CIDEB-UANL Mexico to the iGEM competition for its participation in iGEM HSD 2013. They did fabulous! They came 2nd runner up in the competition just like the last year. The topics that were included in the workshop were about molecular biology related with the nucleic acids function and the proteins involved in the “Central dogma”. About the laboratory, different techniques of molecular biology in the laboratory that are used in the genetic engineering and the synthetic biology, were taught to the students and a Practices Handbook was given to them elaborated by the instructors of the workshop.
In mid-January 2013, students interested on becoming members of the iGEM team UANL 2013 were invited to a four day introductory workshop with the main objective of training them to develop the basic theoretical knowledge for the competition by introducing them to basic Molecular and Synthetic Biology topics, to the tools of Genetic Engineering and to what the competition consists in.
