We are the 2024 iGEM team of Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College from Hong Kong. Since being founded in 2004, our school has always strived to equip students with knowledge in a wide range of fields such as stem cell science, biotechnology and genetic engineering, to name but a few. In order to allow students to put the knowledge they have acquired into practice, as well as contribute to society, we have started to compete in the iGEM competition. Since 2018, our school has seen success in the competition, most notably a gold medal win in 2019.
This year, we aim to reach greater heights in the iGEM competition through our project: producing successful non-invasive test kits for prostate cancer. We believe our project can provide immense benefits to society by providing an easy, affordable and speedy diagnosis to prostate cancer, allowing patients to have timely treatments and cure an otherwise possibly deadly disease.

Through this year’s iGEM, our team hopes to gain exposure and spread awareness about prostate cancer, educating the public on the seriousness of cancer and the importance of an early cure. We also hope to gain funding to continue research in similar fields, and inspire other institutes or companies to research their own testing methods and cures on cancer, contributing to a healthy, cancer-free world.
