I make that a Gold Medal and Nominations for Best Climate Crisis Prpject and Best Presentation for @UCLiGEM Go team! @DrStefanieF @khalifeR88 @UCLBiochemEng1 #synbio #iGEM2022

[Jason Kelly @jrkelly]

Nothing gets me more excited about the future of synthetic biology than @iGEM !! Lucky to be here for the #iGEM2022 Jamboree in Paris! Only place you will find CRISPR costumes 🤣🧬🤣 Good luck to all the teams competing for the Biobrick !! 😃😃😃

@UCLiGEM serving iGEM gimic realness. Making concrete with bacteria and (like @colorifix) showing that synbio is a sure route to reduce carbon emissions. Solid stuff!

An amazing day 1 for UCL iGEM 2022 at the #iGEM2022 Paris jamboree! Great to see so many brilliant projects on display and to share our own bio-concrete with the world! 🌍 🧬 ⚙️ @iGEM @iGEMCommunity @UCLBiochemEng1 @ucl

🥁🥁 It's finally here! 🥁🥁

After arduous months of brainstorming and design, we're very pleased to, at last, be presenting our logo for #igem2022.

Our #iGEM2022 project was revealed yesterday over on our instagram (@ucl_igem). Here's the video of our team members describing it for you! 🎉

💥Project reveal coming TOMORROW! 💥

Biomineralisation is defined as the process by which living organisms produce minerals. We’re particularly interested in the ability that some bacteria posses to produce calcium carbonate because it's a key component of concrete.

💥 2 days until project reveal!! 💥

Mycelium is generally described as the "root system" of mushrooms due to its branch-like structure.

Check out the images below to find out why they're one of nature's most amazing materials!

Attended the @iGEMEPIC summer bootcamp today! Very interesting talk by Kennedy McDaniel PhD.
Looking forward to the other sessions this weekend 😁

💥 3 days until project reveal!! 💥

As well as being on the way to becoming a key part of industry, biomaterials are also making a splash in the world of academia.

Check out both @UCL_Bio_ID and the research by a group in Boulder, Colorado on biomineralising cyanobacteria.

[UCL iGEM 2022 @UCLiGEM]

💥 4 days until project reveal!! 💥

Let's look in detail at @ecovative! They manufacture fake leather, packagings, slippers..., all using mycelium (root system of mushrooms). Cool right?

Check them and other companies out!

- Biomason @Biomason
- Biohm @biohmhome

💥 5 days until project reveal!! 💥

Biomaterials are relatively new inventions, but some are readily available in the market. Some of the places where they are used include packaging, construction, fashion, and even foods!

💥6 days until the project reveal! 💥

Biomaterials are commonly defined as substances that have been engineered to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose.

However, new biomaterials are starting to be developed in other industries, such as construction.

[UCL iGEM 2022 @UCLiGEM]

💥 7 days until project reveal! 💥

The construction industry is one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world; it's responsible for >30% of CO2 emissions.

What can we do? What are possible solutions?

Stay tuned and find out!

💥 The COUNTDOWN has begun! 💥

We'll release the topic of our #iGEM2022 project on the 4th of July, so stay tuned to find out what it is!!

Every day we'll release a hint about the topic, so go ahead and comment your best guesses.

The team visited UCL Bio-Integrated Design @UCL_Bio_ID 🌱

Inspirational.
