BioCoderDojo Timisoara

There was a nice story our founder Radu Ticiu told us after his first IGEM participation in 2023. During the first day of the event, a group of Canadian students from the McGill University team, seeing “Romania” written on his judge badge approached him saying that their team’s leaders and its PI are of Romanian origin.

In the final day of the event, the whole iGEM universe knew that the McGill team is the bag winner of the competition and Radu knew that Codruța Ignea, Primary Principal Investigator of the team, even more than being from Romania, is right from our city, Timișoara!

Now we are proud to invite all those interested in bioengineering, synthetic biology, bioeconomy and the iGEM Competition to meet in Timisoara and interact with dr. Codruța Ignea, Wed, June 3rd, at 12:00, in an event co-organized by Universitatea de Științele Vieții “Regele Mihai I” din Timișoara, Fundatia Excelsior Alumni USVT, Institutul de Biotehnologia Plantelor Timișoara, -Center for Nonformal Education and Creative Entrepreneurship and BioCoderDojo Timisoara.

Details and registration in the Luma event in the first comment.

Fantastic week for BioCoderDojo Timișoara with two of the youngest ninjas, Sophia Irina Harcău and Casian Veselin, concluding their awesome Global Committed Listener participation to the How To Grow (Almost) Anything program by MIT Media Lab, by presenting their final projects on PLNC8ß anti-Helicobacter pylori and Zea anti-pest, respectively.

Additionaly, their mentors, Todinca, Iulia Nicoras, Letiția Iliescu, Erik Boros, Gabriel Tăbăcaru, and Radu Ticiu will join the BFH European Meet-Up
event, reuniting in Hamburg representatives of almost 30 synthetic biology IGEM teams from 9 countries, with a first participation of a Romanian team to an iGEM Competition pre-event!

Congrats all for your dedicated work!

Thanks, Georg Tremmel and BioClub Tokyo team and peers for guiding and motivating Sophia, Casian and their colleagues Mia Dărăbuș and Andrei Vasilan during the demanding HTGAA.org program!

Additionaly, our alumnus Mihai Fracea was selected to attend as a Leader of Tomorrow the Excellentium Conference by Global Biotech Revolution!
