The Team

We are the 2012 University of Illinois iGEM team. We are a diverse collective of undergraduate students hailing from varying disciplines of science and engineering. Of our backgrounds in bioengineering, biochemistry, molecular biology, agricultural engineering, and chemical engineering, we are brought together by common goals of exploring emergent philosophies of Synthetic Biology.

Institute for Genomic Biology

Where Science meets Society

Opened in 2007, the Institute for Genomic Biology was founded on the basis of unifying and advancing the sciences of agriculture, human health, the environment, and energy use and production. Research at the IGB is specialized to systems biology, genome technology, and cellular and metabolic engineering.
