Synthetic biology is shaping the future of technology and health! Stay tuned for more! #igem #igem2024 #education #syntheticbiology #science

First Wet Lab Update! A few weeks ago, we kicked off our "Wet Lab Bootcamp" to refresh and practice our lab skills. Since then, we’ve been diligently growing our cyanobacteria and experimenting with different media concentrations and growth setups. #igem #igem2024 #science

A big shoutout to Cultivarium for sponsoring Team CyanoVolt! Thank you for our two new strains of cyanobacteria! #igem #igem2024 #cultivarium #cyanobacteria #syntheticbiology #science #sponsorship #SponsorShoutout

Synthetic biology is all around us, offering endless possibilities! #igem #igem2024 #science #syntheticbiology #education #coolfacts #didyouknow #impossiblefoods #vaccines #ᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴇssᴀᴠᴇʟɪᴠᴇs

Thank you, NovaCentrix! #igem #igem2024 #syntheticbiology #science #sponsor #sponsorshoutout

First Hardware Update! A few of our hardware team members met with Eileen Feeney Bushnell, a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology specializing in screen printing with microbes. We had a great time and look forward to meeting with her again! #igem2024 #hardware

Thank you to QIAGEN for sending us Miniprep, PCR Purification, and Gel Extraction kits for our project! #igem #igem2024 #sponsorshoutout #syntheticbiology #science

Delighted to support iGEM Rochester's CyanoPrint project that tackles climate change! Using modified cyanobacteria like Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, they're creating a bio-photovoltaic cell to sequester CO2 and generate green energy. #iGEM2024 #synbio U of R iGEM 2024

Huge shoutout to New England Biolabs for supporting our project! #igem #igem2024 #syntheticbiology #sponsorshoutout #science

In July, our iGEM team had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with the University of Rochester's Upward Bound program, introducing local high school students to the world of synthetic biology! They created their own glowing bacterial art while learning the science behind it!

Huge shoutout to our sponsor, Tiny Fish Printing ! We can't wait to rock our sweatshirts and shirts at the Jamboree! #igem #igem2024 #sponsorshoutout #screenprinting

During this summer, we hosted the "SynBio Innovation Challenge" for high school students around the world! They were tasked with developing their own mini iGEM pitch. Here are two of the final projects submitted! A huge thank you to everyone who participated! #igem #igem2024

Shoutout to DCS! They helped us make our business cards to give out during the Jamboree! #igem #igem2024 #rochesterny #syntheticbiology

With the Jamboree in just a few short days, we wanted to acknowledge all our sponsors that helped us throughout our project! We couldn't have done it without you! #igem #igem2024 #sponsorshoutout #thankyou #syntheticbiology

We’re thrilled to share the results from the 2024 Jamboree —Team CyanoVolt won a gold medal! A huge thank you to our amazing advisers, sponsors, and everyone who supported us along the way! None of this would have been possible without you! #igem #igem2024 #results #gold
