BioGENEius Global Challenge

Compete to design a biotech innovation in this fun competition sponsored by the Biotechnology Institute.

“Imagine discovering a cure to a rare disease, optimizing crop production to provide millions more with affordable food, or even culturing new algae to break down water contaminants. The Biotechnology Institute challenges you to explore projects in any of the above, and more, and present your work to industry innovators currently transforming the scientific landscape. The BioGENEius Global Healthcare Challenge seeks your innovative input in the area of medical biotechnology. The contest is open to high school student and home schooled students of high school age.”
