Overview
Collaboration lies at the heart of the iGEM spirit, and this year, our team embraced it fully. Throughout our journey, we connected with teams across different countries, disciplines, and project themes to exchange knowledge, troubleshoot challenges, and co-create meaningful outputs. Each collaboration—whether an experimental exchange, modeling consultation, human practices initiative, educational activity, or technical contribution—helped broaden our perspectives and strengthen our work.
Our partnerships were not limited to one-off interactions. Many evolved into long-term dialogues that shaped our design choices, informed our safety and ethics frameworks, and improved the accessibility and inclusivity of our project. By working closely with other iGEM teams, we shared protocols, modeling insights, wet-lab guidance, hardware ideas, and human practices strategies, fostering a network of mutual support that elevated all our projects.
This page showcases the collaborations that made a substantial impact on our project. For each team, we highlight the motivation behind the interaction, what we contributed, what we received, and how the collaboration influenced our final design. Together, these exchanges reflect our commitment to building a global synthetic biology community founded on openness, teamwork, and shared scientific growth.
