the MIT iGEM Competition Team!</b></font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>iGEM, the international genetically
engineered machines competition, is 6.270 for biological engineers.
The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered
biological system using DNA over the course of the summer. Systems
will be constructed from standard biological parts (similar to the
6.270 LEGOs). The MIT iGEM team will be made up of 4-5 undergraduates
working full-time during summer 2006 on engineering a biological
system. The team will be advised by graduate students and faculty. You
will have the opportunity to compete against over 30 schools from
around the world. You will gain experience in experimental biology
techniques such as cloning, PCR, microscopy and flow cytometry as well
as teamwork and presenting your work.</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Biology lab experience would be useful
but not an absolute requirement. Enthusiasm and availability to work
full-time in the summer is required.</blockquote>
