iGEM 2005 - The summer 2005 intercollegiate Genetically Engineered Machine competition.

iGEM 2006 - Next summer's competition

We are just starting to organize next summer's competition. If your school would like to participate, please send email to the organizer, Randy Rettberg at . We will have more information about the organization of the competition in early December.

iGEM 2005 Jamboree, November 5 & 6

During the first weekend of November, students and instructors from all of the schools in this year's competition met at MIT to present their projects and celebrate their accomplishments. Learn how Synthetic Biology is changing the teaching and engineering of biology.

Events

[http://www.ibeweb.org/ IBE Annual Meeting], March 10-12, 2006, Tucson, Arizona: Special Sessions on Synthetic Biology

Share your latest research! Make new friends! Bask in the Arizona sun!

Jay Keasling (an instructor for the Berkeley iGEM team) will be the keynote speaker at the Institute of Biological Engineering annual conference in Tucson.

Drew Endy and Tom Richard are organizing a technical session on synthetic biology. We would love to have some iGEM teams represented, and welcome presentations about other current research from your labs. In addition to this oral session focused on synthetic biology, there is an open poster session (with awards for student posters in both graduate and undergraduate divisions) and a student essay competition on bioethics.

Details are available at http://www.ibeweb.org/. If you have questions about the conference or IBE, please contact Tom Richard <trichard@psu.edu>
