iGEM (the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition) is one of the world’s premier synthetic biology challenges, where teams of students design, build, and test novel biological systems to solve real-world problems. It’s a chance to stretch your creativity and lab skills, collaborate across disciplines, and showcase your project on a global stage.

Tuesday 21 October 2025 AUNAB and AUSBI will co-host the next Afternoon Meeting, where we will focus on biomolecular Design. At the meeting, we will have invited speaker Dek Woolfson joining, who is Director of the Bristol BioDesign Institute. The focus of the meeting will be on biomolecular design techniques and know-how available to researchers at Aarhus University. More information and registration details will follow.

Join us on October 2nd for the iGEM competition info night. Here, you can ask questions about the iGEM competition and Adjunt Gilles Vanwalleghem (from MBG) will join, to share his iGEM success stories. Free pizza is included for all participants. Remember to sign up.

September 19th, Callum Siegmund from Ionian University and Paul Sutherland from Curtin University will present a specialized seminar titled "Nanosculptures, genetic engineering, and societal reations". The seminar takes place at iNANO (1592-316) at 13.00-14.00.

The Danish Origins of Life Initiative (DOLI) is pleased to announce the 2025 Danish Origins of Life Symposium, which will take place 25-26 August 2025 at the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, Copenhagen.

The focus of the meeting is: "bridging orders of magnitude - from interstellar catalysis and planet formation to prebiotic chemistry, self-assembly, autocatalysis, and the onset of evolution."

The annual symposium is a full-day dedicated to sharing of interdisciplinary science with focus on methods and expertise available to researchers at Aarhus University.

This year, we will have both exciting invited speakers, as well as junior research focus talks and poster session, and of course plenty of time for networking in the program.

All researchers and students at Aarhus University, who are interested in structural biology and biophysics, from the sub-molecular to cellular scale and larger, are cordially invited to join.

The registration is open and free of charge.
