GenScript

GenScript has been a proud sponsor of iGEM teams since 2009, and 2021 marks the 12th year of partnership with iGEM!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our labs have not closed or sacrificed quality. We are your trusted partner from plasmid construction to antibody engineering.

GenScript is offering a team grant opportunity through an online Twitter competition of $2000 and a Custom Swag Kit for 6 teams in 2021, as well as 20% off gene synthesis.

GenScript has partnered with iGEM to provide logistical support to teams in China since 2016. This year, GenScript is once again providing critical support to teams in China by shipping the iGEM 2021 Distribution Kits.

Team Sponsorship Opportunity

How GenScript Expedites Your Synthetic Biology Projects

Among the three phases involved in synthetic biology projects, bottlenecks usually occur during the build stage, as the simultaneous assembly of different DNA circuitry can be costly, time-consuming, and complex. To overcome this challenge, several enabling technologies, such as gene synthesis and molecular engineering, can be utilized. As the industry leader in these fields, GenScript offers an array of services to help streamline the build phase of your synthetic biology projects. Discuss your project with our scientists to learn how we can help you.

GenScript is a Partner Plus Sponsor of the 2021 iGEM Competition

As a non-profit organization, we count on the support of our partners and sponsors to help us continue to provide this unique and valuable experience to students worldwide. Learn more about Sponsorship at iGEM.
