What is iGEM?

iGEM is an international competition in which undergraduate students engineer cells to produce unique products or gain novel properties. Students at the University of Nevada, Reno have been participating in International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition for over four years.

Projects:
2009 Synthesis of cinnamaldehyde (a major component of cinnamon) as a natural pesticide. Bronze medal winners. https://2009.igem.org/Team:Nevada. 2010: Design of a non-toxic fluorescent tag that allows plants to “glow” under drought or temperature stress. Silver medal winners. https://2010.igem.org/Team:Nevada 2011: Production of photosynthetic cells that “feed” biofuel producing bacteria. Gold medal winners. https://2011.igem.org/Team:Nevada 2012: Proteins designed to bind vitamins to white rice. Gold medal winners and an invitation to the International Jamboree at MIT where their project was very well received by many teams and scientists. https://2012.igem.org/Team:Nevada 2013: Nevada iGEM is currently designing a suite of new proteins to combat bacterial diseases in plants.
