Team members
Adrienne Chang
Major: Biology Year: 2018 Where are you from: US/Taiwan Something interesting about yourself: My spirit animal is a sloth. Why do you want to participate in iGEM? I’ve always been interested in engineering and was curious to see how I could combine both passions.
Alex Cho
Major: Biology Year: 2020 Where are you from: South Korea Something interesting about yourself: I’m a South Korean soldier next year. Why do you want to participate in iGEM? You don’t say no to these things.
Diego Kleiman
Major: Biology Year: 2020 Where are you from: Argentina Something interesting about yourself: I am interested in exploring what can be learnt at the interface between biology and other disciplines. Why do you want to participate in iGEM? I think that iGEM is a great opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary project that draws upon biological knowledge to solve a real-world problem.
Laura Karpauskaite
Major: Biology Year: 2020 Where are you from: Lithuania Something interesting about yourself: Went to a 30km cross-country skiing marathon without knowing how to ski. Why do you want to participate in iGEM? It seemed like a great opportunity to learn more about synthetic biology.Professors
