UPV Conquers MIT
Roger Monfort, Alberto Coronado, Adrián Requena, Carolina Ropero, Carlos Andreu, Tzvetelina Ilieva Anguelova, Marc Martínez, Héctor Izquierdo, Blanca Madorrán and Joan Casado are all students at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), and between them they have made a big impact at MIT in Boston, where their printer to create coloured micro-organisms in order to create bio-art won the iGEM 2018 competition in October 2018, beating over 340 other Universities from all over the world.
Their invention is called Printeria and is a small device that can manufacture genetically modified bacteria quickly, simply and cheaply.
The ten students have worked in collaboration with Ecuadorian professor Yadira Boada and Argentinean Alejandro Vignoni, from UPV.
