The purpose of the iGEM tracks is to help students focus their research projects. The subjects areas encompassed by the tracks aim to solve crucial global challenges; for examples, students have worked on projects related to environmental bioremediation, new medical delivery systems, and alternative energy sources using synthetic biology.

Traditional Tracks

Traditionally iGEM teams have chosen to enter their projects into one of the following tracks:

  • Energy
  • Environment
  • Food and Nutrition
  • Health and Medicine
  • Information Processing
  • Manufacturing
  • New Application

New Tracks

We are keeping some new tracks in iGEM 2016. In addition to the regular tracks such as Foundational Advance, and Health and Medicine, we also have the new tracks listed below. Participation is open to all teams and there is no limit to the number of teams in each track.

  • Art and Design
  • Hardware
  • Measurement
  • Software
NOTE

Teams participating in the standard iGEM Tracks are not required to choose a track until later in the summer.

Requirements

Teams who choose to enter these tracks will need to meet iGEM Requirements unless otherwise stated. Requirements specific to each new track are stated on the new track pages, as well as on the iGEM 2016 Requirements page.
