ESBS - Strasbourg
iGEM - INTERNATIONAL GENETICALLY ENGINEERED MACHINES
iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machines Competition) is a competition organized by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Boston, USA, since 2004 and has become one of the largest international competitions in the field of science. This year 128 teams of undergraduate students compete against each other, and for the second time ESBS-Strasbourg team is joining this competition.
Synthetic biology is a new area of biological research that combines science and engineering. Synthetic biology encompasses a variety of different approaches, methodologies and disciplines. We can define the synthetic biology as the design and (re)construction of new biological functions and systems not found in nature. Similar to the construction of a car, Synthetic Biology uses simple gene building blocks for the construction of new complex systems with distinct functions. These gene building blocks are collected in a database by iGEM and can be used by all participants of the competition. So far, the collection contains more than 13,000 gene building blocks, due to the continuous development of new parts over the last years. This summer all teams work on self-developed projects which will then be presented in the beginning of November at the “Jamboree” in Boston. Several prizes in different categories will be awarded. |

ESBS-Strasbourg Team
We are a student-run team from the trinational graduate school "École supérieur de Biotechnologie Strasbourg" (ESBS) located in the capital of Europe - Strasbourg, France.
The ESBS is a joint-venture of the Universities of Freiburg and Karlsruhe in Germany, the University of Bale in Switzerland and the University of Strasbourg in France. Students come from all four partner universities and furthermore from all around the three countries.
