Health EN ↓ 6 episodes

Brought to you by Synwave, a team of student researchers from the University of Glasgow competing in the annual International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition (iGEM). At Synwave, we aspire to develop a preventative diagnostic test for neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. We aim to achieve this using synthetic biology. This podcast is our means to reach out to the global community to spread awareness of such diseases, to talk about our project and share stories from student and non-student researchers with hopes to inspire the next generation of thinkers.
