Our Journey: iGEM Universitas Indonesia 2021

Our story in iGEM Universitas Indonesia 2021 actually started in early 2020 as we planned to be involved in the 2020 iGEM Competition. However, the pandemic striked badly, affected our country and of course restricted our access to our laboratory. The team composition underwent several changes and participation was postponed for 1 year.

We then reformed the iGEM UI team, started the brainstorming and finalized the project from November 2020 up to April 2021. Social media campaigns started in parallel. Our engineering cycle was done simultaneously, continuously learning from the model and update literature, then revised the system as needed.

We participated in and hosted some scientific meetings, introducing SynBio, iGEM, and our project. And of course, our culmination is at the Giant Jamboree, November 2021.
