Why iGEM ?

I joined IGEM because it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get a real sense of what doing research in biology is like. Coming from a bioinformatics and modeling background, I was excited to be able to work on developing and optimizing a model from scratch. This project also gave me the chance to learn how to build and design a website which I believe is a skill that will be very useful in my future.

Participating in iGEM allows you to build a project from A to Z, which is a real opportunity to discover the world of scientific research, especially in biology.

Why iGEM ?
‍
Passionate about innovation in biology and with the goal of creating a start-up in the field of cosmetics, it is quite natural that I registered for the igem competition in order to learn how to set up a project from A to Z, to work in a team and especially to develop my creativity.

Why iGEM ?
‍
iGEM is an opportunity for me to learn more about the world of synthetic biology, as well as to be able to create a project of our own with different people and their own perceptions of synthetic biology.

Why iGEM ?
‍
IGEM has been the opportunity for me to have an accessible approach to synthetic biology, with a first step to project management without forgetting the associative side that brought me a great human experience.

Why iGEM ?
‍
I chose IGEM because it’s a great opportunity to conceive a project and learn its inner workings as well as interact with people with different ideas and backgrounds . Synthetic Biology is innovative and I wanted to witness how people would react to what we’ve created.

‍
I joined iGEM in order to enjoy a big project with many people around biology. I wanted to acquire more independence and knowledge about how to work in a lab. Discussing biology with others helps to be more pedagogic. My main interest is cell therapy, so working on GMOs gave me experience on the tools used in this field.

Why iGEM ?

From biomedical engineering to bioinformatics to synthetic biology, I have always pursued the intersection of the disciplines of biology. And igem has given me a new perspective on biology and has taken me from textbook knowledge to real life. From the collision of ideas to teamwork, from fundraising to collaboration between teams, iGEM is a great experiment.

Why iGEM ?

I joined iGEM to discover more about synthetic biology, and because it was a great opportunity to accompany a project from the very start to its completion. It was also a great human experience, and an opportunity to discover different aspects of doing research, especially communication and collaboration !

Why iGEM ?

I wanted to participate in iGEM in order to meet people and to learn to manage all the financing side of a project. This is a part that is missing in my scientific training and that I am glad to have learned with motivated people and by participating in such a cool project !
