BioGaia are proud sponsors of the iGEM Stockholm team. The team will participate in the world’s largest synthetic biology competition, The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) and consists of students from Karolinska Insitutet and Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan. By participating in iGEM, teams of students collaborate with the goal of identifying and prototyping an engineered genetic machine that addresses a real-world problem or opportunity. In 2016 the competition expanded to 300 teams, reaching 42 countries and over 5,000 participants. The goal for the iGEM Stockholm team is to develop a lung probiotic that can degrade thick mucus and restore respiratory health.
