Team ABOA

ABOA is a team of students from Turku, competing in the annual biggest international synthetic biology competition, iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine). The objective of iGEM is to solve a current problem by inventing and carrying out a research project that utilizes synthetic biology. All students from the University of Turku, Åbo Akademi and Turku University of Applied sciences can join ABOA and all majors even outside the biosciences are appreciated and needed. The first ABOA team competed in 2019 and the tradition has been continued with teams in 2021, 2022 and now, in 2023.
