“By developing better and more efficient diagnostics we can make the most effective use of treatments, differentiate between life threatening situations and more benign conditions, as well as increasing our pandemic preparedness.”

UBC-Vancouver

University of British Columbia

“There is an urgent need to develop sustainable, reliable, and low-cost biological tools to assist researchers in accelerating the engineering and production pipeline of novel therapeutics.”

Washinton iGEM

University of Washington

“We plan to modify biofilms of cyanobacteria, a type of aerobic photosynthetic bacteria commonly found in wastewater. Our solution involves the design of a novel protein that increases the efficiency of PCB degradation in an aerobic environment.

TecMonterreyGDL

Tecnologico de Monterrey

“Our project is principally based on the development of an inexpensive highly efficient biosensor capable of detecting these emerging contaminants.”

Santa Cruz: UCSC

University of California – Santa Cruz

“Our biosynthetic solution uses microcystin-degrading enzymes in an engineered organism. Overexpressing the entire gene cluster optimizes removal of microcystin, offering a sustainable approach for Pinto Lake remediation.”

HKU-HongKong

University of Hong Kong

“Our objective is to use Sendai virus and Nanoparticles to genetically engineer macrophages with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) combined with SIRPα blocker for excellent anti-cancer properties against solid tumors.”

Stony-Brook

Stony Brook University

“Our proposed solution would design an externally tuned method capable of delivering controlled levels of nitrogen to crops in the place of a naturally occurring diazotroph using an engineered genetic oscillator.”

Lethbridge_HS

“The goal of our project is to create a glucose-dependent self-amplifying mRNA complex that codes for the human insulin gene.”

Rochester 2022

“In order to solve the problem of “buddy” syrup, we developed an approach that tests for three separate compounds present in higher concentrations within buddy sap: asparagine, sarcosine, and choline.”

Hopkins

“To address disordered roots in space, we will modify plants to mimic the innate gravitropism pathway with engineered magnetotropism.”

UAM

“We aim to design a biopesticide to control Coleopteran pests in Mexico using a holistic perspective by implementing an Integrated Pest Management.”

iGEM Montpellier

“We want to develop a detection device for the most present pathogens in the Thau lagoon: the algae A.catenella (which is harmful for humans) and the virus OshV-1 (which is the most important oyster pathogen and harmful for oyster).”

EPFL IGEM Team 2022

“We decided to produce our own sustainable insulative material to fulfill the future needs outlined by the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.”

UniofBath

“As growing population, changing diets, climate and energy shocks drive up prices, the world needs a reliable and affordable source of phosphorus, we aim to close the loop, curbing losses of valuable phosphorus from wastewater.”

IIT_Roorkee

“We aim to design a point of care kit for the detection of the most oncogenic strain of Human Papillomavirus, HPV16.”

IISc-Bengaluru

“We aim to design a bioreactor that can degrade hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) using a consortium of P. putida and E. coli, both engineered to metabolise the gases efficiently.”

CU_Egypt

“Our Alzheimer’s treatment triggers a new sustainable and effective system for targeting the misfolded protein, including the usage of biodegradable and sustainable nanocarrier containing our fusion protein to deliver it to blood-brain barrier.”
