The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition unites university students worldwide to push the boundaries of synthetic biology. Participants develop innovative projects using "BioBricks," standard biological building blocks. Notable projects from the 2009 competition include restoring homeostasis in health, converting lactose into ethanol for energy, and creating cell communication systems. The competition fosters creativity and collaboration among teams from leading universities, notably projects from Chalmers, Stockholm University, and Uppsala University. The event culminates in a grand final, showcasing groundbreaking advances in biotechnological applications.
