iGEM Design League was launched in Latin America this year to kickstart the journeys of Latinos and Latinas in synthetic biology. This new competition is focused on the design element of the "design-build-test-learn" cycle that helps ideas to become reality, all while engaging local people in solving local problems through synthetic biology.
