Junior, Biomedical Engineering, and I joined iGEM because it provides undergraduates with the opportunity to design and complete their own synthetic biology projects, an experience that is unique in the university setting. It has given me the opportunity to learn more about synthetic biology and grow my mathematical modeling skills, and has helped me to determine the types of work that I hope to do in the future.

-Kathryn Almquist

I am a senior majoring in neuroscience and minoring in philosophy. I joined the iGEM team because it involves community outreach events, and I enjoy explaining the principles underlying genetic engineering to others. I think it is important that the general public is informed about what genetic engineering is and what it can do.

-Carolyn Domroese

I am a third year Biomedical engineering and Mathematic students. My interest in research is cellular bioengineering and am currently working in Professor Johnathan J. Sachs research lab. The reason I joined the 2017 iGEM team is that I am interested in meeting more people in the field of bioengineering as well as working on projects with people with different background and skill sets.
