A team of UBC undergrads has won a gold medal at the International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Their biosensor technology E.coli Traffic Light, a signals mechanism operating in E.coli, was produced after 7,000 hours of research work.
This is the first time a team from UBC has participated in the contest that draws more than 100 teams internationally.
