Helping to promote the synthetic biology in our country, which for our team is essential for next generations, we organize in the summer, being pioneers in the topic, '''the first synthetic biology workshop of Mexico'''. We invite undergraduate students of biological and chemical sciences, systemic biology and physical-mathematics for all over the country.

In this workshop were implicated more than ten of the most important institutions dedicated to biotechnology, synthetic biology and mathematical sciences. The students came from nine different states of Mexico and this was great for the interchange of new and original ideas.

Among other things we have seminars of some Ph.D every day, wet lab work with biobricks and IGEM vectors and a theorical-modeling course. At the end of the summer all the teams had created projects to overcome human practices and they learn a lot of synthetic biology and its importance in the world.

Workshop.jpg


In a joint effort to promote synthetic biology among the new generation of students in Mexico, our team participated in the organization of the First Mexican Synthetic Biology Summer Workshop (Primer Taller de Verano de Biología Sintética) that took place in July 2010.

The team representing UNAM in the first synthetic biology workshop.
The first day. Giving us an intoduction to the workshop.
Brainstorming at the first week.

This Workshop was organized by students and faculty from Facultad de Ciencias UNAM (Mexico City) and Cinvestav Irapuato (Guanajuato, Mexico). In early 2009, a nation-wide application call was published and distributed among different undergrad programs. After receiving over 90 applications from all over the country, 29 undergraduate students and 7 graduate instructors were selected to participate. The Summer Workshop took place in the modern laboratory facilities of the Laboratorio Nacional de Genomica para la Biodiversidad at Cinvestav Irapuato langebio.cinvestav.mx.

Wetlab work, learning how to digest plasmids with the IGEM requested enzimes.
Arriving to the lab early to begin our day activities.
Waiting for ligations or posing for the camera?

The final working team included undergraduate students and graduate instructors from different fields, as well as invited speakers .In total team had 49 individuals participated, representing 13 different Institutions in the country and 10 different state.

Theorical course. It was a headache for everyone, just look.
Discussing the methodology of our lab project.
The final stage, exposing the project at the end of the summer.
