The funny side of science: The Ig Nobel Prize honours achievements that make people laugh but also think afterwards! Here are the 8 best Ig Nobel Pize winning achievements.
The 2019 TU Delft iGEM team aims to design a toolkit that allows the expression of genetic constructs in different microorganisms, thus accessing the diversity of bacteria beyond E. coli and S. cerevisiae.
The iGEM Team Bielefeld-CeBiTec 2019 develops a cell death inducing system containing Cas13a that is based on a phage as delivery system to fight eukaryotic pathogens. Read more.
The iGEM LMU & TU Munich Team designs a platform for minimal-invasive in vivo cell monitoring: check viability and functionality of cells in long-term without invasive interventions. Read more.
The iGEM Team “Syntex” from Marburg 2019 aims to develop a new fast-growing model organism that is easy to genetically modify with CRISPR: Synechococcus elongates. Read more.
The iGEM team Düsseldorf aims to synthesise cow’s milk by heterologous expression of cow’s milk components and simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas. Read more.
Eurofins Genomics chose some great iGEM teams that work on fascinating projects with synthetic biology. Read here about the iGEM teams and their projects.
The iGEM team of TU Dresden aims to develop a tool for detecting any nucleic acid sequence of interest in microbial samples and human cells with gene-sensitive paper-strips.
