We thank to the members who attended to this event and represented their teams:

 

We organized the First iGEM Meet up between Mexican teams, and it took place on August 10th, 2012, in CINVESTAV Irapuato, Mexico.

 

The purpose of this event was to start a collaboration network between Mexican iGEM teams, with the goals of increase the potential of Synthetic Biology in our country, share knowledge and obtain help from experts and other students.Â

 

In this meetup, we invited participants from Collegiate, High School and Entrepreneurship Divisions. Each team was represented by some of its members, and they were encouraged to make an oral presentation about their iGEM projects. During this event, all the teams received comments and suggestions from other iGEM students and researches from CINVESTAV Irapuato.

 

Furthermore, this was a successful day because we created agreements between Mexican iGEM teams, some of them are the start of a Collaboration Network in Mexican iGEM teams; the ideas to solve problems, such as the importation of iGEM distributions; to share the experience of using some Biobricks and the creation of tutorial videos to homogenize the protocols and techniques in Synthetic Biology.
