The Team

The 2017 Research Team

Co-President Lab: Danielle Rose

Danielle is in third year Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Guelph. Her main responsibilities include organizing laboratory activities, coordinating team activities, purchasing and coordinating with advisers. She is also in charge of coding the wiki so finds talking in the third person about herself very odd. This year she enjoyed spending a great deal of time in the lab conducting experiments, helping with trouble shooting and designing primers. Danielle also helped with contacting potential sponsors and raising awareness of iGEM within the University of Guelph. She helped with the administrative aspect of the team such as ensuring safety forms were filled out and obtaining key card access. She also designed and built a battery powered tube rotator for the team for use in the 37 Degree incubator.

In her spare time Danielle enjoys drawing, painting and other crafty endeavors. She also enjoys reading and playing strategy video games.

Co-President Business and Humanities: Jehoshua Sharma

There would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.There would have been a time for such a word.
