Team:CPU CHINA/Team
Members
CPU CHINA
We are team CPU_CHINA! There are 10 undergraduate students and 4 teachers in our team. Team members from different
fields joined forces to conceive a project and tried our utmost to fulfill our goals with the same interest in
synthetic biology. Meet them now!
Student leaders
Qihang Zhao
Hi, this is Qihang Zhao, a senior student of Biopharmaceuticals in China Pharmaceutical University. As the
captain of CPU CHINA, I am mainly responsible for the co-ordinating of experimental plan and the design
of experimental programs. Not only interested in Cellular Immunotherapy like our project this year, I
also focus on the study of relationship between epigenetics and cellular metabolism in human’s adaptive-immune
system. In other hands, I keen on the creation of poetry and lyrics, especially traditional Chinese poetry.
Sincerely, I am looking forward to showing our project to you at the jamboree!
Sisi Qu
Hello, everyone! This is Sally Qu! I am a senior student in China Pharmaceutical University, majoring Pharmacology.
As a cofounder of CPU_CHINA and CPU Bio-X Club, I am always dedicated to manage our team and promote
synthetic biology, medicine and medical science with great enthusiasm. I am so proud of our team members
and our own project- synNotch-CAR-Tregs program! I hope we can have a good presentation at the coming
competition. Look forward to see you in the jamboree!
Xin Li
Hello, everybody! I’m the most handsome man of the team. You can call me LIXIN or just call me handsome guy.
On the same time, I’m also the most talented person of our team. If you can’t meet me during the Giant
Jamboree, that must be your regret.

Liujun He
Hello, iGEMers! I'm a senior student in China Pharmaceutical University, major in Biopharmacy. It's my pleasure
to be involved in CPU-China and the last couple of months were such an enjoyable and meaningful time
for me. In our team, I participated in our lab works such as the experiments of interlab study and the
western bloting experiments. And more, I was responsible for human practice. By those，I not only enhance
the practical ability and organizational skills, but also harvested the friendship. It is my honor that
we can make great progress together. I'm so glad to have this excellent experience working with such
a lot of great minds and really appreciate the opportunity to share ideas with iGEMers from all over
the world.
Tengjie Yu
Hello, this is Tengjie Yu, a senior student from Team CPU-China. After knowing iGEM from my roommate, I found
great interest in it and took participate in the team immediately. There are so many brilliant students
here and it is a great honor of me to get involved into the project with them. Along the preparation
of this competition, we supported each other and pursued our own goal together. The experimental part,
is what I am mainly responsible for and I truly learned a lot from the process. This is a fascinating
experience for me and I hope we can achieve what we deserve.
Minye Yu
Hi there, this is Minye Yu from Team CPU_CHINA. I have finished my third year in China Pharmaceutical University and now I am in my first year as a pharmacy student in the University of Alberta. I have always been fascinated by the intricacies of life, and thus it is my great honor to be a member in this team to explore new interesting things about life together. It is so lucky of me to know all of you and to work together with you on this project. Wish everyone good luck and hope to see you all at the Jamboree. Cheers!
Yuchuan Su
Hi, this is Yuchuan Su, a senior at China Pharmaceutical University. I have worked on Institute of Pharmaceutical
Science, and focuses on the application of system biology and computational biology in drug development.
During the year I conduct research in the Applied Science department on stochastic kinetic models of
chemical reaction networks. I think the Traditional Chinese medicine have an inner connection with system
biology and plan to go abroad for further study. I enjoy coding scripts and performing data analysis.
Jinjing He
I’m JINJING HE, a senior student. My major is Biopharmaceutical Technology. So I am interested in both pharmacy
and biology. If you want to know about the biophamacy especially its development and clinical trials,
do not hesitate to chat with me! And in the future, I want to major in biostatistics to process disease
or drug data for human health. So we can also talk about statistic skills. In my team, I do the aspect
of modeling and how our system works. It is really an amazing job! We try to use mathmatical method and
biological pathway to figure out biological problems. I really hope that we can talk with other teams
for our project!
Chu Zhang
Hello, guys! I am Chu Zhang and a senior student majoring in Pharmacy. Fascinated by all sorts of life entity in
this planet, I am curious about developing the process of biology and performing scientific experiment on my own. I am
responsible for Human Practice and a part of experiments in our team. Also, participating in iGEM hones my skills and
makes me become an independent researcher which is rather appealing to me as it is crucial to realizing my full
potential as a scientist. I am so lucky to be a member of Team CPU_China and wish we perform better at the final
presentation!
Baoqinang Chen
My name’s Baoqiang Chen, a junior student which major in Pharmaceutics. I think sometimes I am a science
and technology fans or a Geek. I love to make something cool. I have many hobbies such as electronic
DIY, Ammeter Radio(HAM), computer science, travel, photography etc. Now I have some project about Pharmacokinetic,
metabonomics, and system biology in our university. I think these subject is what I love and will be
my research directions in the future. I think the researches what I like is some interdisciplines, this
is also why I entered iGEM. I think this is a very interesting project which you can realize your ideas.
