Previous Years
| 2005 | In the summer of 2005, 13 teams worked on projects involving chemotaxis regulation systems, cell-cell genetic communications systems, cellular/biological wires, thermometers, biological sketch pads (drawing systems), cellular relay races, a digital counter, and more. Read more |
