Competition-Blog: Engineering-Competition News Going for gold – Imperial students impress judges at genetic engineering competition : November 13, 2007 by Danielle Reeves
Ten Imperial undergraduates have brought home a gold award for their entry in a prestigious international competition to create genetically engineered machines last week. The Imperial team, comprising students from Bioengineering and Biochemistry, together with four advisors and two professors, travelled to leading US university MIT to present their project to a team of international judges at the International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) competition. For 10 weeks over the summer holidays the student team had worked to produce their device: a liquid that can be applied to the outside of urinary catheters which fluoresces green when it detects the presence of a potentially harmful infection. Competition Blog Comment: An engineering competition poses a challenge to the technically oriented minds to apply their skills for new business innovations. Business has always been dependent on the technological applications that it can manage to sell as a package. Our competitors are generally not aware of this commercial fact about their technological innovations. They are happy with the Gold that they win back home. But the real gainers are those who manage these technical innovations as their new business products, earn fortunes out of it and have the last laugh as such. The real innovators keep toiling all through their life! I invite you to subscribe to my E-zine titled Life Coach, free of charge.
