Our group can earn additional funds towards our Catalyzer fundraising goal with your help.

The groups that get the most likes in the album will be eligible for extra funds to help surpass their fundraising goal. But we only have until May 8 at 4 pm to make it happen! Thanks for your help!

By supporting our project, you will help us purchase the materials needed to complete a novel biological engineering project to present at the 2018 iGEM Jamboree!
