@ubcmsl @iGEM @ubcscience @UBCBotany @hirstma @SBME_UBC @UBCbiochemistry @UBCMicroImmuno @ubcappscience @ubcLFS Thank you @ubcmsl ! We're glad to have represented UBC at the competition, which would not have been possible without your support 🥇

[UBC iGEM @ubcigem]

We're happy and proud to have obtained a Gold Medal at the Jamboree in Paris! Thank you for the shoutout @SBME_UBC 🧬

@SBME_UBC @ubcappscience @ubcengineering Thank you so much, it was an honour to have SBME as one of our main sponsors towards improving #synbio!

[UBC iGEM @ubcigem]

The access to developing research & innovations in synthetic biology is unequal across countries, preventing equal advancement. We'll unpack this with the help of four experts from industry and academia worldwide this Wednesday, August 17 at 8am PDT! Register with the QR code🧬

It was so great to share the #SynBio2022 experience with you!

[iGEM Community @iGEMCommunity]

Yesterday was an insightful experience at the Canada #SynBio2022! Catch us here again today on Day 2 sharing our love for iGEM and synbio! @ontariogenomics

@SamantaMichaela Yay! 🧬🥼🔬🧪

[Canada’s Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre @GSCofBC]

At the GSC, DNA is everything. From the #CanadaBioGenomeProject to #POG, #genome sequencing is preserving biodiversity and treating #cancer with #precisionmedicine. In celebration of #DNADay and the discovery of #DNA structure, here are some of our research initiatives.

Thank you for the shoutout! We hope to outdo ourselves this coming year :)

[UBC Life Sciences Institute @ubclifesciences]

#UBC students engineered salmonella bacteria to detect and profile immune activity within cancerous tumors.

Their gold-medal @iGEM diagnostic project can help target immunotherapy while reducing costs and invasive procedures. Congratulations, @ubcigem!

We are happy to announce that we have won a gold medal along with a nomination of Best Diagnostics Project at #iGEM2021 for our biosensor to profile the tumour microenvironment!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us during our journey 🧫🧬

We're honoured and excited to have been nominated for Best Diagnostics project at @iGEM with DetectME, our platform for detection of immune activity in tumours! https://t.co/SwtS8JRsDg #iGEM2021

@GenScript @iGEM Hi everyone! This year, our team is creating an in vivo reporter of tumor immune states to better predict immunotherapy outcomes - preventing patients from exposure to unnecessary cancer therapies that are emotionally + physically draining. @warwickigem @igem_osu @iGEMCalgary

The UBC iGEM team designed VPRE (Viral Predictor for mRNA Evolution), an open-source software tool that simulates evolution to predict genetic mutations in viruses!

Approaches such as RNA vaccines are helping researchers to create and test #coronavirus vaccines at breakneck speed.

Two inoculations with a new SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccine that encodes a protein in the coronavirus spike elicited high titers of virus-neutralizing antibody in healthy adult volunteers. Virus-specific T-cell responses were also elicited. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2

[UBC Science @ubcscience]

Good luck to #UBC #Science students participating in Biodesign Challenge 2020. Using a neural network inspired by evolutionary biology, the team created a digital tool that predicts protein sequences of SARS-CoV-2 viruses likely to evolve in the future. https://t.co/1Y0nWCUPsn
