The International Genetically Engineered Machines competition, or iGEM, is a synthetic biology competition where universities compete against each other to solve a real-world problems. Our team’s project this year is to develop a wearable biosensor device for the diagnosis of sepsis using biomarkers found in sweat.
We are actively fundraising in order to purchase the necessary laboratory equipment and materials to conduct our research and build the device. We are planning a virtual 5K run -- “Sweat it for Sepsis.” Runners will have the option of receiving a t-shirt and the chance of winning a free skydiving experience from Skydive Finger Lakes! If you are unable to run, we would also still really appreciate your donation. The virtual event will run from Oct 1st to Oct 31st, and we would love to have your support to keep this program alive. Thank you very much! Meliora!
