BIOTECH International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Competition
Abstract
In order to build a BIOTECH workforce that brings in an expansion of ideas to solve national defense needs and challenges, the DoD recognizes the need to support domestic programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in biotechnology. iGEM is an international biotechnology competition that attracts students from more than 40 countries around the globe by providing a mentor-based program that builds science and engineering skills to foster the next generation of BIOTECH leaders. Increasing U.S. participation in iGEM aligns with the Department’s BIOTECH roadmap, and will facilitate the development of the domestic biotechnology workforce.
