iGEM HQ This week we celebrated Vinoo’s 10 year anniversary at iGEM Headquarters.
Vinoo was hired back in 2009 when iGEM was still in MIT. From wrangling robots into creating thousands of DNA distribution kits for the past decade, to now directing the Registry of Standard Biological Parts, iGEM would truly not be the same without him. Thank you, Vinoo!
