UBC BIOMOD
BIOMOD is an annual undergraduate competition where students from around the world explore new technologies as they build projects ranging from molecular robotics to nanoscale therapeutics using biological macromolecules. The competition motivates students to develop entrepreneurial skills as they build projects from the ground up and secure workspaces, funding, and materials. The UBC BIOMOD team consists of talented engineering and science students who have an interest in developing a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. The team plans, designs, and creates a new research project every year under the field of biomolecular nanotechnology to compete against other universities worldwide. Students contribute their own ideas to a research topic, tackling real-life issues they are interested in. Previous projects include developing a more efficient drug delivery mechanism for targeting acute myeloid leukemia and creating an early diagnostic for lung cancer. Students learn useful research development skills, gain method optimization experience, and develop valuable laboratory techniques.
