Meet Our Team

Who We Are

OhioMod is The Ohio State University’s Biomolecular Design team. We have been working hard over the summer to compete at the annual international BIOMOD competition. BIOMOD is an annual international competition held at UC San Francisco to engineer biological macromolecules into complex nanoscale machines for scientific and technological purposes.
