🧬Exciting news! iGEM Munich partners with Geneious. With their generous support and cutting-edge software, our team achieves unparalleled precision in primer design, PCR, and Gibson assembly. Grateful for their sponsorship and #GeneiousPrime licenses for the whole team! #igem

🙌 Delighted to share the next update on our project! Thanks to the unwavering support of Eurofins Genomics with incredible #synthesis and #sequencing services, we have received our first batch of synthesized high-quality #GeneStrands, setting the stage for our cloning efforts.

📢RT appreciated: Together we grow #SyntheticBiology! Join the SynBio World Cafe, our annual networking event for #SynBio though leaders. Sponsored by GASB, SPRIND, and TU Darmstadt. Apply by June 15. Connect with SynBio pioneers in Germany and Europe! synbioworldcafe.de

Sending positive vibes to Chris from our team as he dives into the #PCR preparations! 👨‍🔬 We're grateful to New England Biolabs for empowering our #research and their support with invaluable #laboratory products, from the DH5-alpha competent E. coli cells to the Q5 polymerase master mix!

Thrilled to report that our first #PCR is underway, setting us up for some exciting experiments! Huge thanks to Integrated DNA Technologies for their crucial support, providing us with a whopping 20 kb of #oligos. Their top-notch #primers have been instrumental in enabling our research progress. 🔬

Things are heating up in the lab and we're in full swing! 🔥 Check out Chris in action, preparing agar #plates with our trusty SERVA ducky ensuring top-notch quality control. A big shout out to @SERVA_D for their continued support and for providing us with countless #labsupplies.

Congrats to our 1st 2023 iGEM Headquarters Sponsorship winner iGEM Munich! The team’s project will focus on a platform approach to fight and prevent infection with multi-resistant #pathogens and #neurodegenerative diseases. Your iGEM team still has 4 chances to win! genscript.com/igem-2023.html

Join us at our exhibition „Science Meets Art“ at Charlie & Lars in Munich! Enjoy a tasty breakfast over interesting talks from our expert speakers on 9th of September and join our „Talk & Tour“ for a guided walk through our pieces! Link for registration in bio! 👀

Had a blast last week meeting and engaging with over 3,000🤩of TU München's new students during the Welcome@TUM event. Thanks to President Thomas F. Hofmann and "Freunde der TUM" for inviting us. 🙌Join our team at igem-munich.com❣️

It was fun to look behind the curtains this time iGEM Headquarters after having participated in the competition as part of the iGEM Munich team 2017 when it was still held in Boston. >70k students have been part the competition since 2003 - there should be igemers everywhere by now..

Our Recruiting Phase has started! Come to our kickoff meetings on 14.11. or 22.11 (6 pm, in front of TUM Chemistry building in Garching, hybrid meeting) to join iGEM Team Munich 2024! Follow us on IG, LinkedIn & subscribe to our newsletter at igem-munich.com

Girls' Day 2024 was such a fun day, filled with discovery, learning, and experiments in the lab! 🧬Special thanks to all participants, Prof. Zeymer for the inspiring lecture about her experience as a scientist in a male-dominated field, and our team members, who made it possible!

🎉A big thank you to Geneious for their immense support! The translation functions, Gibson assembly and RNA-folding simulations have been a game-changer, streamlining our workflow and enhancing our research capabilities!🧬 #GeneiousPrime #iGEM #sponsorship

🏃💨PCRs already running in our lab, thanks to the generous sponsorship from Integrated DNA Technologies! Their high-quality primers have been an invaluable instrument in our research and lab work. Thank you, IDT, for being a long-term partner in our journey!

📢Project reveal! What if you could program cells to record cellular events in real-time, just like a computer stores information on its RAM? 🧬Introducing “𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗥𝗔𝗠” (programmable RNA Access Memory) – a new customizable RNA-based system for molecular recording! Stay tuned!

Open House Day at LMU Biocenter 2024🧪🔬 We had so much fun sharing more details about our project! Alongside presenting a first prototype of our 3D puzzle on the central dogma, we prepared fun experiments, quizzes for the visitors, and had a great chat about synthetic biology🦠

𝗶𝗚𝗘𝗠@𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 🧬🏫 We had a blast during our two-day iGEM@School! Students explored the central dogma with DNA extractions and protein expression experiments and dove into the world of DNA and RNA! Fun, curiosity, and learning all around! #iGEM2024 #Education

📅Save the date! On September 12th at 18:00, we’re hosting a discussion panel: "𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆" at TranslaTUM. Stay tuned for our line-up of fascinating scientists and panellists!

🚀Less than a week until our panel! Featuring: Prof. Antonella Di Pizio – Structural Bioinformatics, Prof. Wiktor Młynarski – Comp. Neuroscience, Prof. Kristian Unger – Translational Oncology, Maximilian Braun – Responsible Robotics 🗓 12.09.24 | 🕕 18:00 | 📍 TranslaTUM
