WORKSHOP BIOHACKING BY THE
iGEM TEAM

Biohacking is a movement that wants to bring experimental biology from traditional research institutes to people's homes. Participants will learn how to build a thermocycler (for PCR, polymerase chain reaction) using Arduino and

other readily available electronic components.

In the long term, the iGEM Team wants to turn this into a Biohacking Academy: a series of workshops in which participants learn all kinds of biotechnological techniques and learn to build experimental equipment.
