Thank you to everyone who has been part of our network since we began - truly, without you we wouldn’t have made it this far and we’re grateful that you spent time helping us build the Challenge.

Last but not least, we’d like to send a huge thanks to all who volunteered to help run the Challenge during the past 4 years. It truly takes a village and we are grateful to have found ours along the way.

We do want to thank our sponsors over the years, you have been instrumental in bringing this program to fruition and helped deliver something amazing! In particular, we’d like to thank @CSIRO and the @anu for providing funding for the 2023 AusSynBio Challenge

However, we have been unable to secure financial or operational support which has ultimately led to our decision to pause the challenge in 2024 while we explore other ways of delivering entrepreneurship and networking programs in the field of biological engineering.

We have received significant verbal and social support from alumni and major organisations in the community. For some, the AusSynBio Challenge was their first introduction to SynBio which we absolutely love!

This is a shame, as we feel we have created an accessible program for students to engage in SynBio, learn practical skills that often aren’t taught as part of their core curriculum, and introducing talented students and their mentors to a whole new world of network opportunities.

Despite our passion for the Challenge and the engagement we received throughout the program, we have been unsuccessful with our fundraising attempts and haven’t been able to find the right partners to continue the delivery of the Challenge in 2024.

This team of eight undergrad ANU students presented their #SynBio project in Paris, and came home with a silver medal! Their project, called ANU Virumediation, is an innovative new system for remediation of heavy metals. @iGEM @SynBioChallenge science.anu.edu.au/news-even…

iGEM Jamboree in Paris

ANU Students attended the 20th iGEM Grand Jamboree in Paris and entered a team into the iGEM global synthetic biology competition to present their research and hear from leaders in the field.
