iGEM Brno on the world SynBio stage in Paris at the Grand Jamboree 2024

Following a successful campaign at iGEM Startups programme, team NitroDuck, co-founded by Matej Zámečník and Matúš Grieš of CEITEC and MBL's Miro Rosputinský, pitched their idea to industry professionals at iGEM Grand Jamboree in Paris. Competing against 82 teams from all around the world with their idea of cultivating duckweeds on liquid manure to create protein-rich feed for livestock, they won the Environment Track and received the First Runner-up prize overall. The project is now gaining traction with the addition of 18 new members, including MBL's Barča Gavendová. With this strengthened team, the real work begins. See you at the Grand Jamboree 2025!
