About Us
We are Genesis iGEM, a biology-first creative lab.
Based in the heart of our campus bioengineering community, we build synthetic biology projects that are both scientifically rigorous and culturally relevant. Our members collaborate across disciplines to prototype solutions for environmental and health challenges.
Our Values
Biology with purpose.
Responsible biology
We design with safety, ethics, and real-world impact in mind, from the first sketch to the final prototype.
Interdisciplinary teams
Our members come from biology, engineering, art, and policy. We build better ideas together.
Open collaboration
We share protocols, mentor younger scientists, and partner with local labs and community groups.
Our Members
Meet the squads behind the science.
We operate like a small biotech studio: wet lab, dry lab, human practices, design, and operations all collaborate from ideation to outreach.
Wet Lab
Builds and tests genetic constructs, assays, and biological prototypes.
Dry Lab
Models pathways, simulates systems, and runs computational analyses.
Human Practices
Connects with stakeholders and ensures our work is responsible and inclusive.
Design + Media
Creates visuals, storytelling, and outreach materials for the public.
Fundraising
Secures sponsorships and resources to keep the project moving.
Operations
Keeps schedules, protocols, and lab logistics running smoothly.
