What have we been up to? From lettuce to tomatoes, our team seems to really like working with plants! This year we’re presenting our project GUARDEN to the worldwide synthetic biology competition stage happening in just a few weeks!
Our BMRNAi solution is a unique and sustainable method for tomato plants to fight against TSWV (a virus). Learn more about our project via our wiki and promo video. Links in bio.
We'd like to thank our team members, stakeholders, advisors, and sponsors, without which this wouldn't have been possible!

Our Story
Waterloo iGEM is the University of Waterloo’s synthetic biology team. We are a dedicated and self-directed group of undergraduate students from all faculties who apply synthetic biology to solving important real-world problems. This involves developing novel biological systems by rearranging existing genetic components. We draw from disciplines including molecular biology, biochemistry, environmental science, engineering, mathematics, and many more! We also investigate the legal, ethical, and economic aspects of our work.
We have participated in the worldwide iGEM Jamboree since our inception in 2005, achieving gold and silver medals on many occasions.
We recruit new members once a year at the start of winter term. Send us a message at any time if you’re interested in learning more!
