Undergraduate Research Opportunities

Rice has an iGEM team. The team gives students an opportunity to participate in cutting edge genetic engineering in a competitive format.

• ABOUT iGEM:
  • iGEM is the international genetically engineered machines competition.
  • The objective of the competition is to design and build an engineered biological system using DNA.
  • Systems are constructed from standard biological parts.
  • Although iGEM originated at MIT, this year, there are around 40 schools participating from around the world.
• For more information see the iGEM wiki.
• To apply for the team, please contact B. Beason, Ph.D., Biochemistry & Cell Biology (bbeason@rice.edu).
