The Ohio State University iGEM team is an undergraduate student organization that creates a project related to synthetic biology every year. The team begins brainstorming in January and presents the final project in the iGEM Grand Jamboree in Paris every October!
In previous years, teams have developed projects in the fields of mycoremediation, probiotics, diagnostics, biosensors, or therapeutics. Many teams include software development, robotics, or mathematical modeling. All teams explore the social and environmental impacts of their work, as well as developing educational or community outreach programs.

iGEM is very interdisciplinary, and students with experience or interest in lab work (specifically microbiology/genetics), mathematical modeling, web design, graphic design, and outreach are encouraged to apply!
