And iGEM has been instrumental in growing the education environment for this.  It&rsquo;s learning by doing.  So it gives the opportunity for students to do independent research with the latest tools and  technologies and that&rsquo;s very exciting for me.   But I&rsquo;m here to help the students because the bar keeps rising with this competition.  Even though its only about seven years old, its hyper competitive.  It&rsquo;s on a world stage.  And we want the Alberta students to have the best possible chances of success. <\/em> <\/p>\n<p> According to Andrew Hessel, when the teams present at iGEM, industry and investors will be there to scout out the next great plays for synthetic biology.    <\/p>\n<p><em> Thanks today to<strong> Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n<p> <strong>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/> I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/strong> <\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\">Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Alberta Innovates launched its consolidation on November 1, 2016<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et-waypoint et_pb_image et_pb_animation_off et_pb_image_5 et_always_center_on_mobile et_pb_image_sticky et-animated\"> \t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/albertainnovates.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/tech_futures_v2_icon.png\" \/> \t\t\t \t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>780-450-5111<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\/\">albertatechfutures.ca<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>250 Karl Clark Road,<br \/>Edmonton, Alberta, Canada<br \/>T6N 1E4<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/AI_Tech_RGB_smallForWeb.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02010-09-21<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November, university students from Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge will compete in Boston against 130 other teams at the <strong>International Genetically Engineered Machines<\/strong> or iGEM Jamboree.
