Our Advisors
Ming Fung CHEUNG, EricOur synthetic biology dictionary. He may seem difficult to get along with at first due to his constant poker face. His advice is generally helpful and often helps add onto our knowledge. He would always question us on our interpretation of our lab results, regardless of if they are positive or not, but that’s just because he wants us to think critically.
Ka Man TAM, Sabrina One of our best advisors. She has taught us so many things in the lab and also in theory. She taught and explained everything to us patiently when we first came to the lab. In the meetings, she always tries to give good advice so we have better results in our project. When we failed, she helped us solve the problem by giving suggestions about what should we do next. We are very pleased to have her as our mentor.
Tze Wing MAK, Tiffany Our IT backup. It is her first year being our advisor. She often gives good suggestions about the design the wiki page. To most people, she appears to be a very serious no-nonsense kind of person. However, once she warms up, she has a pretty silly side too. She likes to call iGEM girls "Dua eng" (which mean "Sweetheart" in Thai)
