The Exeter iGEM team recently gained recognition from the top of the University: Sir Steve Smith, University of Exeter Vice-Chancellor came to Biosciences to talk to the students and thank them for all of their hard work over the summer.

A new video introduction to synthetic biology and the iGEM competition has made its way online and though it mainly features the NRP-UEA iGEM team, I’m of course pleased to say that the good folks of the Exeter iGEM team have managed to work their way in there too

Well the iGEM wiki-freeze is upon us and Team:Exeter managed to put the final touches to their wiki with 9 minutes to spare. Please follow the link (here) or click on the logo below to find out more about their project.

Friday saw the nine UK iGEM teams meet up at Google Campus, London to share their projects ideas, progress so far and also do a spot of iGEM networking (oh, and check out the competition of course). The event was streamed live and the videos have now been made available here.

More details of the Exeter teams ‘Human Practises’ panel are emerging. The e-candi team are preparing a short introduction to the iGEM competition and their project (a world of bespoke polysaccharides), followed by the ways in which they see their work impacting on business and society.

Things have been quiet here recently, partly due to paper writing but also supervision the University’s first iGEM team – have I mentioned their blog and wiki?
