The St. Mark’s iGEM Team is committed to serving the community through innovative research and engaging outreach. Our mission is in line with that of iGEM’s by promoting and fostering scientific research in our school and beyond. We strive to engage with social, cultural, ethical, philosophical, environmental, political, legal, and economic dimensions of synthetic biology. In our first year, we have achieved community outreach with Brendan Court, developed a comic for youth outreach, and made tutorial videos, a biotechnology film, and launched our social media campaign for global outreach.

To bring youth awareness to our Biotechnology Initiative, we developed comics that would integrate synthetic biology concepts into the plot and artwork.
