About Competition Tracks
Each team can only compete in one track.
The purpose of the iGEM tracks is to help teams focus their projects. The subject areas encompassed by the tracks aim to solve crucial global challenges; for examples, students have worked on projects related to environmental bioremediation, new medical delivery systems, and alternative energy sources using synthetic biology.
