About Us
What is iGEM? From the iGEM website: "The iGEM competition is an annual, world wide, synthetic biology event aimed at undergraduate university students, as well as high school and graduate students. Multidisciplinary teams work all summer long to build genetically engineered systems using standard biological partscalled Biobricks. iGEM teams work inside and outside the lab, creating sophisticated projects that strive to create a positive contribution to their communities and the world."The iGEM competition is an annual, world wide, synthetic biology event aimed at undergraduate university students, as well as high school and graduate students.

Our team:
We are a group of eight undergraduate students from the College of William and Mary. We include Biology, Mathematical Biology, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Computer Science Majors. We each split our time between Wet Lab, Dry Lab, and Outreach work every day in order to complete a well-researched project on time while also communicating our results with the general public.Our Project:
