About Aalto-Helsinki iGEM
Aalto-Helsinki 2023 is a multidisciplinary and international team of 10 students from the University of Helsinki and Aalto University. They are excited to participate in iGEM, the world's largest synthetic biology competition, with the goal of developing an innovative and impactful synthetic biology project that advances scientific research and benefits society. Their project aims to address major global challenges of plastic pollution and food scarcity by upcycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into single-cell proteins.
They will enzymatically depolymerize PET into ethylene glycol and terephthalate, and explore microbial strains that can utilize these monomers as carbon sources. The team is supported by experienced advisors from Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. Aalto-Helsinki 2023 is dedicated to responsible and safe research and encourages support from organizations and individuals who share their passion for synthetic biology.
