2024 was another record-breaking year for iGEM, with all-time highs in the number of people, teams, and organizations participating in iGEM programs. And you - iGEMers - are the ones who made that happen!

Due to their inherent safety, simplicity and portability , cell-free systems have become an increasingly important tool in iGEM and synthetic biology more broadly.

This iGEM Space Initiative Webinar, under the iGEM Technology Program, is a kick-off for teams working on space exploration. Our expert panelists discuss why synthetic biology will be essential to space exploration, take a look at past iGEM Projects about space, and explore the feasibility of future space projects for use in iGEM.

The iGEM Grand Jamboree unites the world's largest community of synthetic biology researchers, educators, industry, investors, startups and policymakers in one place to help build a better world using synthetic biology.
