Human Practices/Committee
Committee
Many members of the iGEM community have expertise related to Human Practices. The Human Practices Executive Committee members works directly with the iGEM foundation to develop its human practices efforts including providing guidance on judging criteria, information and resources. Our advisory committee members provide additional guidance and have agreed to be contacted by teams seeking assistance on specific elements of their human practices work.
