Valencia UPV team succeeds in iGEM competition

Since 2014, I have been participating as instructor of the Valencia UPV iGEM team jointly with Diego Orzaez and Jesús Picó. After five years and some special prizes, the team has achieved the best one, the Grand Prize, that recognizes as the best project in the competition. Valencia UPV undergraduate team has achieved a great success in the iGEM competition. The project was named  Printeria, and it consisted of a fully-equipped bioengineering device able to automate the process of printing genetic circuits in bacteria but made as simple and easy to operate as a domestic desktop printer.

The project was also recognized with the best project in the track «New Application Project» and the special prizes of «Best Hardware», «Best Software Tool», «Best Wiki», «Best Model», and nominated for «Best Parts Collection, Best Poster, and Best Education and Public Engagement».
