Ŕ¦°óSMÉçÇř’s iGEM team, which is made up of a large number of students from the Department of Bioengineering, won the 2023 iGEM Global Challenge. It’s the first time ever that this global prize has been won by a Canadian university, and the first time in 10 years that it has been won by a university in North America. A big congratulations to our students, and to our professors and grad students who mentored and supported the team!

Students formed the team at the end of 2022 and spent the first two months of 2023 ideating their proposal. Then – around their regular course loads – they worked in the lab until the end of the semester. During the summer months, they implemented plans to raise money, contacting stakeholders that a small finance sub team had brainstormed. Throughout, they held workshops with the MontrĂ©al biotech community as well as a two-day conference.</p> Wed, 01 May 2024 18:35:56 +0000 md.lipu@mcgill.ca 9155 at /engineering /engineering/channels/news/introduction-deans-report-352624 <p>It is my pleasure to welcome you to this issue of Dean’s Report and to introduce myself.
