This page is dedicated to those who worked on the different parts of our project throughout the
iGEM season and helped it become a reality.
Our team consists of students from two Russian leading universities – Moscow Institute of
Physics and Technology (MIPT)
and Moscow State University (MSU). We have both biologists,
physicists, and programmers. But what we have in
common
is our passion for science and synthetic biology.
Each of us made a significant contribution to the development of the innovative drug delivery system, and all of us were enthusiastic and devoted most of our time to iGEM and our project as a whole.
