Indian Biological Engineering Competition (iBEC) is to encourage and support student teams from India to participate in the world-wide synthetic biology competition, the iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machine).

iBEC Competition details
  • Research Concepts invited to build genetically engineered systems using standard interchangeable parts (promoters, terminators, plasmid backbone, reporter elements etc.) and operate them in living system.
  • The cells so produced should exhibit novel and salient properties for potential applications.

Eligibility:

  • Undergraduate and postgraduate students’ teams (maximum 10) along with a mentor with sound experience in synthetic biology.

Selection criteria

  • Non-obviousness and potential applications emerging from the proposed concept of the engineered systems
  • Rational design of biological components that include construction of standard parts (DNA, RNA, Protein), devices (modules e.g. operon, transcription factor complex) and circuits (pathways/networks).
  • Standards molecular biology studies that do not map to the rational design approach will not be selected

Number of teams: Upto 5 will be selected and supported to register their research idea for submission to the iGEM competition
