The iGEM Uppsala association was formed in 2012 in order to make the work and development of the team more continuous. Our main activity is the annual creation and support of a team of university students from Uppsala for participation in the big international competition in synthetic biology called iGEM. iGEM Uppsala is an association dedicated to promoting science, technology and the new emerging field of synthetic biology in Uppsala, Sweden and the world. This has primarily been done by making sure that there is a good connection between us students in iGEM, the university and the companies that sponsor us.
