No great project is done without help
What we have done
Since 2017, the whole iGEM Tec-Monterrey team has been working on all other aspects left out of these attributions, including brainstorming the concept idea based on previous research, conducting lab work and purchasing equipment and materials, among many other important tasks. Without further ado, we would like to mention all the incredible people that are responsible for the success of this project.
