Experimental Teams
iGEM at Berkeley was originally founded around a number of project teams primarily rooted in two spheres: wetlab engineering and computational biology. Today, iGEM at Berkeley has 7 experimental teams, each team distinct in its goal and exploration of biology through multifaceted approaches and collaborations. We’re always looking for new project ideas to incubate and turn into experimental teams! If you have a project idea, apply to join a free-form Ideation team using our Spring 2023 Application before 11:59 p.m. on January 28, 2023.
