Genetic Engineering Corps of NDSU
The Genetic Engineering Corps of NDSU (GEC) is a student-led organization here on campus. During the school year, we focus on fun activities relating to genetics and synthetic biology, while during the summer our team works on a project for a prestigious world-wide research competition. This involves a variety of ventures including brainstorming ideas, laboratory experiments, fundraising, website design, and creating a final video presentation.
Mission Statement
GEC competes annually in the iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) competition. Each new year, our team pioneers real world applications of biotechnology using cutting-edge techniques while implementing ethical scientific practices. We proudfully represent North Dakota as the only iGEM team located in the upper-midwest as we share our project with 350+ teams across 45+ countries.
