Rare Disease Day is observed on the last day of February to raise awareness about rare diseases and improve access to treatment and medical representation. This article covers the barriers in therapy progress, communication and how are iGEM teams tackling rare diseases with synthetic biology
Take a looking how iGEM Teams from around the world are restoring Earth's health applying the tools and techniques of synthetic biology for Bioremediation.
Neurodegenerative diseases comprise a broad spectrum of disorders resulting from the gradual deterioration of cells and connections within the nervous system, crucial for functions such as movement, coordination, strength, sensation, and cognition. Explore how iGEM team’s have tackled the disease through their innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
This blog from the Phoenix’s View revolves around the past, present, and future of regenerative medicine within and outside iGEM! Learn about organoids, 3D bioprinting, bioelectricity and all the unique efforts of iGEMers to better those areas of research and beyond!
The submission of research or review and seeing it published is one of the most exciting and anxious aspects of research. The iGEM community’s Academia and Research network’s fourth workshop in the Academic publishing workshop series, “The in’s and out’s of paper submission and publication by Dr. Bilge San”, aims to guide students through this process and provide comprehensive information on what to expect before and after submission.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Data visualization enables us to effectively communicate complex data. Analytics must be clearly portrayed and easily comprehensible due to the massive amount of data that is becoming available. The iGEM community’s Academia and Research network’s third workshop in the Academic publishing workshop series, “Analysis and Visualisation of Gene Expression Data by Dr. Jacob Beal”, highlights the importance of effective Gene expression data analysis and visualization.
Publishing a paper is no easy feat - especially if you`re in high school. We chat with Alisa Leong Weng I about how she overcame the struggles and advice for people following the same journey.
Academic writing and publishing are imperative skills for a scientist. Over a million scientific articles get published each year in innumerable journals, and the scientific knowledge is only growing larger. iGEM Community’s Academia and Research Network launched their Academic Publishing Workshop series to give a walkthrough of the basics of scientific writing all the way to the process of submission and publication and help scientists to share their work effectively.
The iGEM community is ripe with enthusiastic, innovative and young scientists who have made their mark on this world with their ideas and scientific contributions through their iGEM projects. Each year hundreds of teams provide new perspectives to synthetic biology and showcase their projects in the Jamboree and through publications. Who better than iGEMers to guide and encourage new iGEMers to publish their work?
