The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition in the world, and uses an engineering approach to biological and medical research. The iGEM project from RSI this year aims to develop a novel technique for transporting a breast cancer treatment to malignant tumor cells via a bacteriophage. While we have already received some sponsorship from a number of sources, our project will not be viable if we do not obtain sufficient funding. The iGEM Jamboree event will be held at MIT in Cambridge, MA from October 30th to November 2nd, 2009 (where we will publicly present the results of our work and your name will be shown on the list of sponsors), so to be able to prepare our team sufficiently by that time, we would greatly appreciate a response by September 1st, 2009. Close
