Team Tokyo Tech second at 2022 iGEM competition in Paris

Comment from Tokyo Tech team leader

Hinako Iwashige
3rd year, Life Science and Technology

We worked on this project for almost a year, and although we experienced hardships and frustrations, we were able to overcome them with the help of our academic supervisors, team members, and many other people who supported us. Until last academic year, our projects consisted only of the "wet field" for biological experiments and the "dry field" for information modeling, but this year we added a "hardware field," which involves the creation of equipment.

I feel like we have evolved into a diverse team that involves members from various Tokyo Tech Schools. Although we continue to face financial and other challenges, there is also a great deal to be gained, so I hope that the younger members of the Tokyo Tech iGEM team will continue to give it their all.
