iGEM_UNIL_2025

Finally, we can show you our project ! From brainstorming to benchwork, our iGEM adventure is on! 🚀 Watch our promo video and join the journey 💡🧪 #igem2025 #promotionalvideo #igemunil #syntheticbiology

Some treasures shouldn’t end up in the trash… ♻️ #lablife #sustainablescience #igemunil

Periodic table vibes, but make it our colors 🌈🔬 Can you spot which ones we’re working on? 👀 #igemunil #ColorfulScience #TeamVibes"

Each teammate brings something unique… and one thing we all share. Can you guess what? 👀 #igemunil #igem

Let's meet Lisa ! 🐱🌼 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 I joined iGEM for the science, stayed for the team vibes, and stuck around because turning ideas into something real is actually pretty cool.

Let's meet Tian ! 🥮 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 It is really cool to explore a solution for real-world problem. Moreover, who can say no to a free travel to Paris ?

Let's meet Elisa ! 🍅🧪 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 Only because I like going full mad scientist on microbes. Engineering life, one plasmid at a time. (+ making my CV sparkle ✨)

Let's meet Paul ! 🍹🏃🏻‍♂️ Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 For the great opportunity to develop new skills and work as part of a team. Plus, why not spend my last long holiday in a lab rather than at the beach!

Let's meet Jérémie ! 🎉🚌 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 Because doing dilutions and calculating molarities is much more fun than relaxing at the beach during the summer... right ?

Let's meet Julien ! 🧑‍🔬🥄 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 Because they say grab every opportunity before it’s too late. And if I judged by my receding hairline, I had to join fast, before that disappeared too.

Let's meet Yvan ! ⚙️ Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 Because science doesn’t wait, and iGEM is a unique opportunity to work on a project together!

Let's meet Chloé ! 🦜 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 Expectation : pipettes, wet lab, Petri dishes... Reality : expert in writing emails 😂

Let's meet Emma ! 🦠🎥 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 What inspires me about molecular biology has always gone beyond bare academics. Sustainability and the dream to leave the world a better place than how I found it is what has driven me to take on this awesome challenge !

Let's meet Xulia ! 💃 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 Because the first time I heard about it was when I started my Bachelor, I came home telling my mum : MUM, there’s a SynBio contest called iGEM that sounds SOO cool. You'll see, as soon as I can, I’ll sign up! 🤩

Let's meet Hugo ! ☔🍵 Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 For the friends we make along the way

Let's meet Ilhaan ! 🗺️ Why iGEM ? 🔥🧬 Because it was an opportunity to expand her horizons through a unique experience... ...but also because she loves adding random things to her CV... 😂

Let's meet Michaël !💻 Why iGEM ?🔥🧬 I wanted to get some experience in the lab, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to test whether I like lab work or not... But for now, I’m mostly doing dry lab…

Coming soon…! Not everyone’s in the frame yet, but the project’s rolling! 🎬 First time doing a background like this, how is it ? 🎨 #igemunil #igem

Pretending everything’s okay just because the experiment worked once 🫠

And that's a wrap on our first week in the lab! Lots of firsts happening with everything, everywhere, all at once (please tell me someone got the ref 😅). Troubles: a lot. Wins: a few. But progress is progress! (Our Mama duck 1 but with just one duckling this time hehe)
