恭喜华师双语的6位高中生在2020年国际遗传工程机器大赛（iGEM)中，凭借优秀的科研课题成果、校内外丰富的社会实践，以及出色的现场答辩汇报，在全球256支学生参赛队伍的激烈竞争中脱颖而出，斩获全球铜奖。

    学生搭建了一个筛药平台，通过简单地观察荧光信号的变化，就能大批量高效快速地筛选到治疗II型糖尿病的药物，造福II型糖尿病患者。

    国际基因工程机器大赛（iGEM）是由麻省理工学院于2003年创办，涉及生物学、计算机科学、数学等多学科。是以合成生物学为核心多学科交叉的国际顶级学术型竞赛，竞赛要求参赛者完成相应的实验，锻炼学术能力和团队协作能力，鼓励用创新改变世界；其大赛赛况和研究成果具有广泛的国际影响力；创始之初主要针对在校本科生，后逐渐扩大到研究生以及高中生。获奖学生绝大部分被世界顶尖名校录取，如：牛津大学、康奈尔大学、多伦多大学等。

  ECNUAS High school SNA team won the iGEM Global finals bronze award. Students successfully constructed a drug-screening platform. The platform can high quantity, high efficiency, and quickly screen the drugs to cure type II diabetes through simply watching the change of fluorescence, that can benefit patient.   

    The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) began in January 2003 as an independent study course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where students developed biological devices to make cells blink. This course became a summer competition with 5 teams in 2004 and continued to grow to 13 teams in 2005; it has now expanded to 353 teams in 2019, reaching more than 40 countries.  

The Competition was originally aimed at undergraduate college students, and has now grown to include graduate and high school students. By 2011, the growth of iGEM around the world sparked the first Regional Jamborees, with the highest scoring teams from each region proceeding on to the World Championships in Boston. By 2014, iGEM outgrew our home at MIT, and in an effort to reunite the whole iGEM community at a single event once more, the first "Giant Jamboree" was held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. 

Through the years, projects grew in complexity and Competition "tracks" were introduced to give teams focus areas for their projects. Past projects have ranged from a rainbow of pigmented bacteria, to banana and wintergreen scented bacteria, to the development of arsenic biosensors to screen drinking water.
