At Oxford Nanopore, we’re committed to enabling scientists at every stage of their journey, including those just starting out on a career of scientific enquiry. We believe that innovation in science should be accessible, scalable, and impactful—driven by those with bold ideas and the curiosity to explore. That’s why we’re offering up to $3,000* of Oxford Nanopore products to 5 iGEM teams, supporting the next generation of researchers as they push the boundaries of synthetic biology. We’ll also offer the winning teams time with our scientists or support teams to discuss your proposal.
We want to hear about your project, your vision, and the real-world impact you aim to achieve. What problem are you tackling? How will your approach drive new discoveries? Share your story with us—this is your opportunity to access the resources that can bring your ideas to life.
Submit your application by midnight (UK) on April 25th 2025 for a chance to be selected. Winners will be announced in June 2025.
Eligibility: Please note for this year’s competition we can only support teams in the USA, Europe, the UK, and Canada
