I am extremely proud of you, Aalto-Helsinki iGEM  team ( https://www.aaltohelsinki.com  )! Although being in survival mode all year long, the results are truly exceptional: Gold Medal achieved, nominated for Best Therapeutics Project (overgrad series, tightly beaten by the equally exceptional Toronto University’s Mystiphage project), and two special prizes for Best Measurement and Best Sustainable Development Impact! I would have loved to be in Paris for the Grand Jamboree, but teaching duties and grant application deadlines took priority. Judging from the videos, I was not required at all. An oral vitamin B12 supplement that also works for all patients currently requiring injections is one step closer. We will keep you informed about our progress, this is only the beginning!
