<p class="MsoNormal">Hi - could you please forward this to the Biology undergrads? We're really excited about iGEM this year and would love to increase our exposure to the Biology student community.<br>
<br>
Thanks! --Brian<br>

<br>
** WHAT: iGEM Info Sessions<br>
** WHEN:<br>
Tuesday November 29th, 7:30 PM<br>
Thursday December 1st, 7:30 PM<br>
** WHERE: 56-614<br>
** WHO: All years and majors!<br>
** PIZZA: YES<br>
<br>
Come find out about iGEM! iGEM is an international competition in<br>
synthetic biology, and the MIT team is looking for members! We're<br>
looking for 10-12 motivated students to<br>
- choose an interesting problem (something YOU want to work on)<br>
- design the experiments to address the problem<br>
- build sophisticated DNA circuits and test them out<br>
- communicate your results to the world.<br>
<br>
ALL YEARS AND MAJORS ARE WELCOME. Previous teams have included students from Courses 20, 6, 7, 10, 5, 18, 2, 8, and 4. No experience required!<br>
<br>
Projects vary widely. Past few years:<br>
- 2016: Molecular diagnostic for endometriosis<br>
- 2015: Biomanufacturing and biofuels<br>
- 2014: A treatment for Alzheimer's disease<br>
- 2013: Intercellular communication in mammalian cells<br>
<br>
(find links to past teams' websites at <a href="http://igem.mit.edu">http://igem.mit.edu</a>)<br>
<br>
Timeline:<br>
- IAP: 2-3 hrs/day, 2 weeks: intro to synthetic biology, learn about previous projects, choose your project<br>
- Spring: ~5 hours/week: continue to gain skills; begin building DNA<br>
- Summer: 10-12 weeks, full-time: the bulk of the iGEM experience.<br>
- Fall: Get ready for the iGEM Jamboree! Work on poster, talk, website.<br>
