Biotechnology YES
The Biotechnology YES (Young Entrepreneurs Scheme) is an innovative competition developed to raise awareness of the commercialisation of bioscience ideas among postgraduate students/postdoctoral scientists.
Biotechnology YES - now in its 20th year - gives early career researchers the edge in entrepreneurial skills and future career prospects.
The NRP has had many successful teams in previous competitions, to find out how to start or join an NRP Biotech YES team email:
iGEM
The international genetically engineered machines competition (iGEM) is a rapidly growing global Synthetic Biology competition that is organised by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA.
The competition involves teams of university students supported by academic advisors, which each develop a novel biological system using Synthetic Biology techniques. In addition to the work in the lab iGEM teams also engage in 'Human Practices' in which teams must explore the broader societal, ethical and economic implications of Synthetic Biology.
