![A member of Columbia College’s Class of 2018, Noah Basri exhibited a keen interest in biology and medicine since his early years. Majoring in Biology at Columbia, Noah joined the student-run Emergency Medical Service with the aim of making a meaningful impact on the Morningside Heights community. During the academic year when he is not driving the ambulance around the Columbia neighborhood, Noah can be found communing with his residents in McBain Hall as he is also a Resident Advisor. Noah’s previous research has helped characterize the epigenetic landscape of gliomas, specifically the role of the chromatin modifier CHD6 at dysregulated oncogenes. His findings were subsequently published in the Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal.

![Brandon Cuevas is a sophomore on the pre-med track majoring in Biomedical Engineering and minoring in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. On campus, Brandon is involved with the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Synthetic Biology Initiative and American Physician Scientist Association, holding positions as the community outreach chair, education/media committee member and Co-Medical School Liaison, respectively. He has done research on microtubules at the Hess lab at Columbia University, and is now doing research on pancreatic cancer with the Olive Lab at the Columbia University Medical Center. In his spare time, Brandon enjoys playing video games, watching comical YouTube videos, playing good ol basketball and collecting catchphrases to add to his library. Cool beans, right?](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/e/ea/Columbia_Brandon_Bio_picture.jpeg)
![Panagiotis Oikonomou is a sophomore in Columbia’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, planning to study Biomedical Engineering. He is originally from Athens, Greece. Before iGEM, he was involved in the optimization of a plasma extraction and cell free detection device, combining microfluidics and “lab-on-a-chip” technologies to create a versatile and efficient point of care device. During high-school, he participated in research concerning the identification of the specific role and the regulation of the cell cycle regulator protein Emi2 in living oocytes, testing the hypothesis that Emi 2 has the role of surveying proper M-phase progression Meiosis I and mitosis in certain cancer cell types. On campus, he is a board member of Columbia University American Association of Medical Students, the co-chair of the Bioethics committee, and an organisational member in the board of the university's Biomedical Engineering Society, In his free time, he enjoys basketball, reading non-fiction, and exploring the city.](https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2017/a/a8/Columbia_Noah_bio_pic.jpeg)
