BMG LABTECH UK are thrilled to be supporting iGEM teams again this year. iGEM is the world's biggest synthetic biology competition, where teams work on projects to tackle everyday issues facing the world by building genetically engineered systems.
Last week we visited reGelerate at Imperial College London to set up and provide training on their loan VANTAstar microplate reader. The team are working to generate an ordered, self-repairing hydrogel using non-pathogenic fungal prions which could be used in bioremediation and biofuel production.
We wish all the teams the best of luck with their projects this summer!
