Team:Uppsala University/Team

Team Uppsala University consists of 26 (not all in picture above) eager undergraduates students from the Molecular Biotechnology Engineer program. This is the fourth year that Uppsala University is participating in iGEM. We would like to thank the Biology Education Centre (IBG), the Department of Cell and Molecular biology (ICM) and the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology (IMBIM) for providing us with resources, knowledge and tools.
