Microbe of the Month is finally here! 🦠

Kicking off this new initiative from our Industrial Microbiology & Synthetic Biology Didactic Hall, September’s spotlight goes to Thiomargarita magnifica!

💡 Fun fact: Thiomargarita means “sulfur pearl,” inspired by the pearl-like appearance of bacteria in this genus.

Stay tuned for what’s next⭐️

apparently, iGEM is kinda chic 💅🧬…

From iGEM RUM and Gemy, we’re excited to welcome a new generation of Tarzans & Janes ready to explore, create, and maybe discover a passion for SynBio along the way. 🧬

Building skills and shaping the future of synthetic biology! 💡🧪

This past Thursday, our participants dove into bioreactor operations, executed bacterial transformations, and connected with mentors to refine their research vision.

RECAP: Day 3 of SynBio 101! 🧬✨

Today was all about hands-on learning. From exploring AutoCAD for lab applications, mastering mini-preps to visualize DNA via electrophoresis, to connecting during our mentor session.
We are loving the progress and energy! 🧪💻🔥
