iGEM
International Genetically Engineered Machine, also known as iGEM, is a newly founded
research club at Oklahoma State University that is dedicated to pushing the boundaries
of synthetic biology and finding innovative ways to tackle real world problems. Synthetic
biology is a relatively new, up-and-coming field of science that involved redesigning microorganisms
for useful purposes by genetically engineering them to have new abilities. Utilizing
this power of nature can allow researchers to solve issues in areas such as medicine,
agriculture, manufacturing and more. For more information concerning meeting times,
upcoming events or how to become an iGEM team member, please contact the club president.
