GenScript Sponsors 2011 iGEM Undergraduate Synthetic Biology Competition
Piscataway, NJ, December 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Internationally recognized biology contract research organization GenScript USA Inc. congratulates the achievements of eight teams they sponsored in 2011 iGEM undergraduate synthetic biology competition.
The iGEM teams have utilized GenScript’s gene synthesis service to build novel biological systems. After intense preliminary regional competitions, three teams made to the final competition on Nov. 7th, the 1st ever iGEM World Championship Jamboree held on MIT campus in Cambridge, MA. Their projects include “painting” using engineered bacteria expressing light inducible fluorescent proteins, creating neuro-stimulators by building an OptoMagneto bacteria, and designing a set of Codon-Switches that regulate target protein biosynthesis.

The rapidly expanding science of synthetic biology is a field GenScript, the leading synthetic biology company in the world and the No. 1 gene synthesis supplier in North America, has helped pioneer since 2002. The science involves reducing the complexity of life down to basic building blocks of molecular biology, which can then be mixed and matched to create useful organisms in biofuel production, industrial biotechnology development, and ultimately, to promote human health.
