I know so many well equipped labs in 🇲🇽 that have hosted iGEM teams that did not attend because they couldn’t afford registration. As much as i love iGEM I would argue against participating if that means spending from your own pocket. Sadly in🇲🇽only private unis can afford it 😔
@jrkelly@nimivashi15@ATinyGreenCell@iGEM ? Dude these are students who literally want to spend a summer doing bench work for free and most of the reagents they get are donated from companies/universities. African teams are habitually unable to attend

@jdpereira I guess the question is why did the student do it? If it was for fun then perhaps the student isn’t looking for any pay ( at least that’s my view as a student who would do something similar) .But if some pay is given even if not expected , im sure it would be appreciated :).
@jdpereira i like to do designs on illustrator and I haven’t done a logo for our lab but I’ve def thought about it. If i did one it wouldn’t be because my supervisor asked, but because i enjoy doing illustrations for fun. Im a PhD student and personally wouldn’t expect a pay.. but thats me.

¡Amigos de la comunidad synbio en México, necesito su opinión!🧬Si tuvieran que resaltar hitos clave en el desarrollo del panorama de synbio en México, ¿cuáles destacarían? Aquí hay algunos que me vienen a la mente 🤓:
1.Participacion del primer equipo iGEM de México en el 2006
Empresas como @Scintia_mx igual son de las mas establecidas y que han perdurado lo cual considero un hito, , pero me pregunto si existe alguna otra fundada aun antes. Quizás alguna se las empresas agrobiotecnológicas de alfonso romo garza? 🤔
8. Establecimiento de la primera empresa/startup que usa las herramientas de synbio en Mexico. Aqui no estoy seguro. Se que algunas de las primeras startups ya no están activas, pero quizas desconozco.
@Kari_GMoreno La sintesis de ADN es una herramienta importante para la biología sintética por eso considere la fundación de oligo t4 como un evento importante en 🇲🇽,pero una pregunta: ¿ustedes como empresa se identificarían como una empresa que utiliza synbio en alguno de sus otros productos?
@said3427 Said :)! Sabes en qué año se estableció? De igual manera esta el lab de agustino en cinvestav, creo fue igual de los primeros en formalmente identificarse como lab que usa synbio.
Join the next #EUSynbioSeminar in collaboration with the @EdinburghUni and hear @sudpinglay from NYU, give a talk titled “Synthetic Regulatory Genomics: genome writing to understand gene expression control“
