Our Crowdfunding Groups
OUR VISION
Inclusive student driven education and research in synthetic biology, applying the engineering principles of design, build, test to biological systems solving the most challenging problems facing our communities.
WHO WE ARE
ASU iGEM is comprised of students on a wide variety of educational pathways where we work to maximize the unique skills and knowledge of our diverse team to design an entire research project from start to finish to compete on an international stage.
The iGEM Foundation, an independent non-profit, hosts an international synthetic biology competition where over 400 teams from 65+ countries are encouraged to develop projects for the education and development of a collaborative synthetic biology environment. Not only are teams challenged to solve problems, but to look at the bigger picture beyond the lab bench to biosafety, biosecurity and fostering a sense of responsibility to our communities and the world at large.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
