The following message is official and has been approved by the appropriate authorities to be posted to this list. ---------------------------------- Apply now for the Berkeley iGEM 2006 team. iGEM, the international genetically engineered machines competition is a contest between over 30 schools around the world to build the most interesting and innovative biological devices. Past projects have included biological "film", blinking bacteria, Conway's Game of Life, and of course, Berkeley's project from 2005: Two-way addressable bacterial communication (TCP/IP).
Students will work over the summer in a small group at the Berkeley Synthetic Biology Center with graduate student mentors and professors in the Synthetic Biology Center. The 2005 team won awards for the best "part" as well as the most innovative project. We hope to continue with additional wins this year. Applicants can be of any year, with a preference for students who will be sophomores and juniors. Lab experience and MCB 102 experience are preferred. To apply send an email to igem2006- [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your name, major and year, along with a CV and a brief statement of why you'd like to join the iGEM team. Students will be expected to work in the lab 10-20 hours a week on their projects and the grand finale of the project is a trip in November to MIT to present the project at the competition. -The iGEM 2006 Organizing Team Head Organizer: Professor Jay Keasling, Berkeley Center for Synthetic Biology, University of California, Berkeley. 717 Potter St., MC 3224 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The above message does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of MCBcDNA, mcbUSA, the MCB Department, or UC Berkeley.
