Thanks for your interest! The Cornell iGEM Project Team has closed applications for the season.

Check back Fall 2025.

Our team is made from students from every year, every college, and every major. From gene-splicing in wet-lab to pursuing business endeavors to organizing outreach events, bright passionate students make this team thrive. Below is the breakdown of what a year on iGEM looks like:

Spring: brainstorm next project and new member training (2 credits, 6-8 hrs/week)
Summer: on-campus project work (20+ hrs/week), all new team members (except for business and wiki subteams) are expected to stay in Ithaca over the summer
Fall: finish project and compete at iGEM jamboree (3 credits, 12-16 hrs/week)
