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.
ABOA 2023
ABOA 2023 is Turku's iGEM team, comprising 16 students from three universities. Our diverse team consists of students studying biochemistry, biotechnology, biomedicine, environmental and marine biology, cell and molecular bioscience, computer engineering, social studies and even animation.
