The aim of this course was to introduce non-biologists to basic techniques of micro- and molecular biology. That way, the non-biologists were able to assist the biologists, so that the "experts" could concentrate more on experimental planning and on the interpretation of results. The idea was to grasp this chance of an interdisciplinary project and offer the students the possibility to get an insight into a field that differs significantly from their own. Therefore, the modelers became comfortable in the lab, and the biologists learned something about modeling. |

How the Team MetPart of the team learned about iGEM during the [http://www.vvz.ethz.ch/Vorlesungsverzeichnis/lerneinheitPre.do?lerneinheitId=48939&semkez=2008S&lang=en Synthetic Biology Lecture] given by our faculty at ETHZ. Another part of the team applied after receiving the following ETHZ-wide e-mail promoting iGEM:
Nine students got selected for this year's team, and on Wednesday, April 16th, the first meeting was scheduled. As you can see on our Team Members Page, students from very diverse fields were offered the possibility to participate in the ETH iGEM team.
