Cadets Earn Bronze at iGEM Giant Jamboree

Cadets from the Department of Chemistry and Life Science and Math attended the International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) Giant Jamboree in Boston, MA. The iGEM Competition is the premiere student team competition in Synthetic Biology. For over 10 years, iGEM has been encouraging students to work together to solve real-world challenges by building genetically engineered biological systems with standard, interchangeable parts. The USMA-West Point team presented their work titled "Detecting chemicals with engineered olfactory receptors through microelectrode array readings" in three different forms; a wiki page, three nights of poster presenting, and a final platform presentation.
