Team
Jack Bechtel
Biochemistry and Marine Biology | '19
My name is Jack Bechtel and I am a 19 year old Junior (3rd year) Biochemistry and Marine Biology double major. My primary role on the team is as the overall team administrator and Human Practices organizer, although I do manage to get into lab every once in a while. I am incredibly grateful to work with such an awesome group of dedicated, supportive, and sarcastic people that I am happy to call my friends.
Besides my involvement with iGEM, I also am a member of Campus Student Government, perform research in the Phillips Maize Genetics Lab, and work on a honey farm! As a certifiable human person my hobbies and interests include; sleeping, raising cephalopods, communicating via GIF, and irregularly playing Ping Pong.
Elise Sloey
Biochemistry | '18
I'm Elise Sloey, a senior biochemistry major at Wisconsin Lutheran College. This is my second year on the team and I work mostly with the laboratory side of things. I have always been driven to ask "why," and am very passionate about science and biomedical research. I plan to continue on to pharmacy school next fall where I will truly miss being a part of such an amazing iGEM team. Outside of the lab I try to get lost in nature, hiking and bicycling.
My greatest achievement in life is having the same Meyers-Briggs Personality type as Michelle Obama
Harrison
Cell and Molecular Biology | '18
I am a senior cell and molecular biology major with a minor in chemistry and this is my third and final year on our team! During this year’s project I assisted Jack with administrative duties as well as performing minor laboratory protocols as needed. I also helped build the presentations for our different events and presented at the “Let’s Talk about That: GMOs” event. After graduation I hope to go onto either a position in the pharmaceutical industry or work in a medical research laboratory. In my free time I enjoy watching Netflix, playing cello, and playing rousing games of ping pong against Troy.
Ching-Tzu Yu
Biology | '18
My name is Ching-Tzu Yu (Jeanie) and I am senior biology major at WLC. This is my second year on the team and I help out with the laboratory work of the team. I am from Taiwan and also had a chance to go to the Asia Pacific conference for the iGem team this summer in Taiwan. My plan is to continue my education at graduate school for cell and molecular biology. I enjoy doing research and working in labs. In my free time, I like to read and explore and walk around the neighborhood.
Troy
Mathematics and Computer Science | '18
My name is Troy Moench and I am currently a senior with majors in Mathematics and Computer Science. I was in charge of the design and implementation of the iGEM wiki for the second year in a row. I decided to join iGEM after hearing that the team was in need of a programmer for the wiki. While I don’t have a background in biology, I am excited to be part of a scientific research project. In my free time, I enjoy playing rousing games of ping pong against Harrison, computer programming, and spending time with my friends.
