Team Overview

We are a group of students from Uppsala university interested in the field of Synthetic Biology. Our group consists of students from different programs.The mixing of international master students of the program in applied biotechnology, Bioinformatics and the Swedish engineering program in molecular biotechnology gives our team a broad base of knowledge and skills in all sciences that compose the field of synthetic biology.

The Uppsala University has a long history of making valuable contributions in biochemistry and biotechnology. There are many research groups at the university working with projects related to Synthetic Biology. Our team is supported by the department of Photochemistry & Molecular Science (Fotomol).

The iGEM team of Uppsala Sweden in 2009 worked on biofuel production by direct synthesis from sunlight.
