Hi! Welcome to iGEM at Brown!

I was first introduced to the iGEM program through the exictement and interest of one of my peers. I have a strong background in the biological sciences and I have been looking for a means to get involved in research.

For me the iGEM contest was an ideal program, a blend of student-led intiative and faculty support to take on a tremendous research endeavor of our choosing.

As a transfer student from Vassar College, I can't express enough how much I LOVE BROWN and the science curriculum and research opportunites it has to offer.

Some would say that my academic focuses are not related, but on the otherhand, reveal the beauty of a liberal arts education.
It serves as a testament to the University's support and flexabilty of creating a truly unique education.

I am so excited for the ALL the amazing possiblities and opportunities that lie ahead for the Brown iGEM Team.

Stay posted for upcoming news of our team in the near future!

Yours truly,

Victoria
