[bioundgrd] iGEM infosession today! Program life and do fun research over the summer

[Joyce Roberge]

[https://mail.google.com/mail/images/cleardot.gif]What would you do if you could program life?

Join the MIT 2013 iGEM team and make it happen!

Ever wonder if you could engineer cells to do whatever you wanted? Produce concrete? Filter water? Diagnose diseases or sense explosives? Calculate the square root of the number of its neighbours or solve a sudoku?

Synthetic biology provides a unique opportunity to combine knowledge from electrical engineering, biological engineering, chemical engineering, computer science and biology to create novel biological systems.


INFOSESSION TODAY:

Tuesday February 12, 2013
NE47-189, 9 PM
Free Pizza Provided


All backgrounds and majors welcome and no prior experience necessary. We are looking to create a team of motivated students excited about engineering biology to compete in the iGEM competition for the summer of 2013. Stipend is the summer UROP maximum.

The The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM)<http://igem.org/> is the premier undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. MIT's 2010 iGEM team won the Manufacturing Track and finished as the most successful team in the United States and the MIT’s 2011 iGEM team won the Health and Medicine Track and was a finalist.

Find out more at our information sessions and at http://tiny.cc/MITiGEM2013.
