UK-Meetup

From the 18th-19th August we had the pleasure of
co-hosting the UK meetup with UCL and Warwick iGEM teams (to host a 2-day
meetup). The event was attended by 14 teams and was spearheaded by talks
from specialist academics. The event also included poster presentations,
debates about topics within the realm of synthetic biology as well as
practicing presentations for the Giant Jamboree!

After the presentations teams had an opportunity to briefly present their
projects and focus on difficulties they were experiencing, this allowed for
a comprehensive troubleshooting opportunity for all teams in order to
better help each other develop their projects.


Dr Stefanie Frank and Dr Vitor Pinhiero were invited to give a talk about
their research topic within the field of synthetic biology. Students were also
given an opportunity to question the lecturers on their projects and obtain advice.
