Nicholas McCarty

Meet Nicholas McCarty, co-founder of Iowa iGEM. Nicholas is a biochemistry and microbiology major. During his time at the University of Iowa, he has done cardiovascular and autophagy research, molecular biology, gene sequencing, and microRNA assays. He joined the Iowa iGEM team to gain experience in synthetic biology because he thinks manipulating bacteria is neat! Fun fact: He used to play the saxophone but has given it up due to noise complaints from the neighbors.

Paul Taufalele

Meet Pau Taufalele, co-founder of the Iowa iGEM team. Paul just graduated from the University of Iowa with his biomedical engineering degree. He will begin a Ph.D. program at Vanderbilt University in the fall. He has studied molecular mechanisms of heart failure in the setting of diabetes, specifically elucidating underlying mechanisms to cardiac dysfunction induced by a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 deficiency within the heart using transgenic mouse models. Paul joined Iowa iGEM because he is interested in doing cool science. Fun fact: He enjoys snowboarding and skateboarding.
