What does iGEM mean to you?

iGEM gives young students the opportunity to take responsibilty, build a better connection to other students and helps with character- development.

Why do you participate in the iGEM contest?

I am very interested in the subject (hence why I`m studying Biochemistry), I`m stoked to collect some new experiences, not only in the lab, but also with new people and new challenges coming up.
