WELCOME TO OUR TEAM

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.

Donaldo Lopez

Meet Donaldo, one of the members of the 2017 Iowa iGEM team. Donaldo is a biomedical engineering student from San Pedro Sula, Honduras. He will graduate from the University of Iowa in December 2017. With determination and a lot of hard work, Donaldo played a pivotal role in launching the Gold Rush campaign to fund our project. 💵 He joined Iowa iGEM to gain experience with lab work. Fun fact: He's got LOYALTY in his DNA; seriously, run a genome test.

Shahaed Hasan

Meet Shahaed, one of the members of the 2017 Iowa iGEM team. Shahaed is a double Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering major from Hudson, Iowa. Both disciplines have strengthened his knowledge of chemical analytics, a unique skillset he brings to the team. Shahaed will graduate from the University of Iowa in December 2017. He joined Iowa iGEM to enhance his abilities in genetic engineering and to use CRISPR Cas-9. Fun fact: Shahaed is better at snowboarding than Paul. 🏂

Paige Noble

Meet Paige, one of the members of the 2017 Iowa iGEM team! Paige is a senior studying biochemistry at the University of Iowa. She joined the team because she wanted to learn more about synthetic biology.

Mason LaMarche

Meet Mason, one of the members of the Iowa iGEM team. He studies health science and multidisciplinary sciences and will graduate in December 2017. Mason has worked in bioinformatics and genetics in the lab of Dr. John Manak studying cleft lip and palate disorders. He joined Iowa iGEM to work with other motivated undergraduates on a self-directed project and was really drawn to the idea of a team-based competition. Fun fact: Mason is a huge Ed Sheeran fan and regularly bump his tracks in the lab!
