Harvard iGEM

Synthetic biology is a new field of biotechnology that aims to engineer cellular systems for applications in medicine, alternative energy, and basic science. The Harvard iGEM team is a group of undergraduates participating in the International Genetically Engineered Machines competition, the premiere synthetic biology design competition held annually at MIT. iGEM students participate in original research during the summer and present their work at the international jamboree in the fall.

Harvard iGEM at Americas Regionals!

Our presentation is complete! Thanks for everyone who showed up, hope you enjoyed it!

A big shout out to all the other great teams here at the iGEM 2011 Americas regionals! If you missed our presentation, be sure to check out our wiki: http://2011.igem.org/Team:Harvard

We also have a great interview about the future of gene therapy using zinc fingers, as well as some of the difficulties (eg. intellectual property) and dangers (unwanted genomic changes) that might lie ahead: http://2011.igem.org/Team:Harvard/Results/Human_Practices

The 2011 Harvard Team is on track

Hi all,

We’ve been a little late catching up on the Social Media side of Harvard iGEM, but here we are! This year we’ve got a great team and our TFs hail from the Church Lab. We’re taking advantage of some great technology from the Church Lab to investigate genetic diversity in a short time frame. More info to come as the proper iGEM wiki page ends its construction phase. Team and TFs intros to come!
