McMaster iGEM is a synthetic biology research and design team led by passionate and dedicated undergraduate students. Each year, we compete in the iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) competition by developing a novel synthetic biology-based solution to solve pressing real world issues. In November, our team will be traveling to Paris, France to showcase our year-long project on the global stage. For many of our members, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent the team’s incredible hard work, connect with like-minded young scientists from around the world, and learn about exciting new developments from leaders at the forefront of the field. However, registration for this competition costs upwards of $10,000, not to mention individual student conference and accommodation fees. That’s why we need YOUR help! Each and every donation will support our team’s registration, send our members to Paris, and realize our project’s full potential!
