Who is iGEM
Hey! We are iGEM!
Fresh off our 2025 Silver Medal win at the international competition in Paris, our undergraduate research team is diving straight into our next big project! This year, we are working on Riboswitches, editing transducer sequence and length to make RNA folding incredibly efficient. Student-led research like this requires resources. Your donation directly funds our dry and wet lab, funding experiments and lab materials. Help us innovate the future of diagnostics by donating today!
Donating at higher levels unlocks exclusive perks and benefits, varying by tier. Our finance team will gladly discuss other sponsorship items outside of those included within each tier, to ensure we provide services of equal value to your generous sponsorship.
We greatly appreciate any donations! Make sure to follow our progress @umassigem on Instagram or on LinkedIn!
