A team of McCormick students took top honors last month at a regional competition for iGEM, an undergraduate synthetic biology competition.

Jewett will use the award to advance his research on developing cell-free synthetic biology for biomanufacturing new classes of life-saving drugs, sustainable fuels and novel materials from renewable resources.

With the award, Jewett aims to reconceptualize the way we engineer biology for producing next generation materials.

Michael Jewett has received the Agilent Early Career Professor Award from Agilent Technologies Inc. in recognition of excellence in measurement research in the field of systems biology.
