From Wet Lab to Code: MATLAB Tools for iGEM Projects

Start Time End Time
20 May 2026, 9:00 AM EDT 20 May 2026, 10:00 AM EDT

Overview

This webinar introduces iGEM teams to practical ways MATLAB can support your projects across modeling, data analysis, and engineering workflows. Learn what tools are available to model biological systems, process images and signals, build bioinformatics pipelines, integrate deep learning, connect software workflows to hardware, and more, all within a single, integrated environment. The session will conclude with some time for Q&A.

Whether your role is computational, experimental, or a little bit of both, this webinar will help you identify where MATLAB can help accelerate your progress from idea to implementation. 

Who Should Attend

  • Participants of the 2026 iGEM Competition
  • Anyone interested in learning more about MATLAB for synthetic biology projects

About the Presenter

Jérémy Huard is an Application Engineer for Computational Biology at MathWorks. He supports pharmaceutical companies in their modelling efforts by presenting workflows, delivering training, and performing proof-of-concepts. He also works with companies in the adoption of AI techniques to develop predictive models. Before joining MathWorks, Jérémy worked in the field of Systems Biology. He holds a M.Eng. (Dipl-Ing) with a major in Biomedical Engineering from Télécom Physique Strasbourg, France.

Grace Woolson is a Student Programs Engineer at MathWorks, where she supports students participating in science and engineering competitions by helping them apply MATLAB and Simulink to real‑world problems. She creates technical content, such as tutorials, videos, and workshops, to help students get started with data science, and she works closely with iGEM Competition teams. Grace holds a degree in computer science and has spent nearly a decade working with students in teaching, advising, and mentorship roles.
