Our instructors

Eddie

I was an iGEMer too a few years back then. Being one of the instructors of CUHK IGEM 2017 has been a wonderful experience full of adventures and fun. Let's enjoy the journey. Cheers!

PhD Structural Biology and Protein Science

It is difficult to manage a team. So, I am glad to have Ryan to work with me, and have support from the professors. While I provided the team proper training in scientific thinking. I hope the jamboree can bring the team excitement and inspiration. Go! iGEMers!
