Progress as it happens...

Recruitment Brochure: Getting the team together! To spread interest and excitement about iGEM, the recruitment brochure was developed. This aided in getting the team together. Below is the link for the recruitment brochure that also served as the initial fundraising document. From this, the first EVER African team was borne!

Where we're from

The iGEM team is made up of students and lecturers from various faculties from the University of the Witwatersrand. Situated in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa, Wits (as it is affectionately called) boasts a wide array of activities and achievements. Check out the promotional video to get a feel for the Wits way of life.

A small portion of the team comes from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) situated in the city of Pretoria, a mere 50km north of Johannesburg. The CSIR Biosciences division is participating in this competition. The CSIR overview can be seen in the link below as well as the overview for the biosciences division itself.
