<p>The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. Student teams are given a kit of biological parts at the beginning of the summer from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working at their own schools over the summer, they use these parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells. This project design and competition format is an exceptionally motivating and effective teaching method.</p>

Synthetic Biology & Society

Whether it's agriculture, healthcare, the environment or the economy, synthetic biology has an increasingly important role to play! Join in our discussions!

Our Forum

NaNoWriMo x iGEM

In our first collaboration ever, iGEM and NaNoWriMo unite to showcase stories featuring synthetic biology! Follow these novelists over the month of November!

Once upon a time...

Art disturbs, science reassures ~Georges Braque

What can generate more inspiration or discussion than art? And what is not art? Come take a look. Better yet, contribute!

Be disturbed!





Promoter Maps

We collected hundreds of definitions of synthetic biology from the UBC community-undergrads, grad students and faculty from various disciplines. These definitions were sorted by field/occupation as well as level of education in order to synthesize these promoter maps. Each promoter map consists of words arranged from highest to lowest frequency (with implemented cut-off points), representing the prevalent ideas in our community's awareness of synthetic biology!














Word Clouds

Can't get enough? We've got a storm of word clouds headed this way. Each represents definitions of synthetic biology from students in different disciplines!










The Synthetic Biology Art Gallery






"Art is the Queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world." -Leonardo da Vinci



"Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us." -Roy Adzak



"Art is literacy of the heart." -Elliot Eisner



"The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery." -Francis Bacon



"What a society deems important is enshrined in its art." -Harry Broudy



Whatever your thoughts on art are, come visit our gallery and send us your very own artwork on synthetic biology!


NaNoWriMo

National Novel Writing Month participants aim to write an astounding 50,000-word novel within the month of November. In our first collaboration ever, iGEM and NaNoWriMo unite to showcase stories featuring synthetic biology!
