BridgeBio aims to bring iGEMers and iGEM stakeholders, industrialists, and bio-founders closer together to benefit each other in different areas and strengthen iGEM and synthetic biology in their community.
While the global synthetic biology landscape grows each year, regional communities play a vital role cultivating synbio ecosystems. Read their stories on our upcoming SynBio Alliance Blog Series, starting today with some highlights on the special issue on "Global Synthetic Biology Landscape" from Biotech Note.
iGEM influenced me a lot to be who I am today. iGEM makes me see that biology can be integrated with digitalisation and “machinery”.
This Saturday (February 11) we celebrate the International Day of Womens and Girls in Science - a day proclaimed by the United Nations aiming “to ensure full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.”
iGEM acted as my gateway into exploring research in biology, which I might not have actively looked into otherwise. I would say iGEM happens to be one of the means by which I found my liking for synthetic and quantitative biology.
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.
