What background do I need to have to join iGEM?

As an interdisciplinary team, we welcome students from all backgrounds! Our team currently consists of members from over 12 disciplines, contributing to different aspects of our work ranging from administration to building hardware.

Do I need to have any particular experience to be considered?

Not necessarily. We look for students with willingness to learn and genuine enthusiasm! Since synthetic biology is a niche subject, we do not expect extensive knowledge of the field. BUT we do require you to complement this with an eagerness to learn the necessary concepts and skills.
