JiSeung Lee
Human Practice Leader
Hello. I am Jiseng Lee. I have been a vice-president and head of human practice team. Also, I am responsible for fundraising in Korea U Seoul. The project that we are undertaking would have significant impact not only on synthetic biology field but also on our daily life. As result, empowering the knowledge of potential risk to the public is crucial. I have been conducted several works related to informing critical impact of greenhouse and our project as alternation of energy crisis solution.
KyuJin Jeong
Wet-Lab Leader
Hi, I'm Kyujin Jeong of Korea U seoul. I'm in charge of most of the experiments we've done this year. This is my third year participating in igem but sadly, I won't be in the jamboree this year. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this year's igem. Have fun!

I've been working on overall works such as HP, wiki, ethics and so on. Preparing this big competition for a long time, i have learned a lot of things from all KUAS teammates.
I really appreciate them and thank to get an opportunity to participate in iGEM. Whether the result will be good or not, there will be no regret because we did all our best for this competition.
I'll never forget this precious experiences for life.

EunSan Ko
Division of Life Science
Hello, my name is Eun San Ko. Last year, I began prepping for iGEM international competition in hopes of broadening my scope and perspectives on Biology. During the first journey, I participated in various experiments and assisted in producing a software. Now on my second year, I am in charge of advertising and fundraising for the competition. Although I started out barely knowing anything about Synthetic Biology and Biofuel Battery, I was able to grow my expertise on those fields through my experience with IGEM. Not only was I able to gain academic knowledge from the experience, but also, I was able to build bonds with numbers of people who have helped me through the competition. I would forever cherish my relationships with KUAS teammates, guidance professors, and other supporters. I truly believe it was for their support and care that I was able to overcome all the hardships that I encountered during the competition. All in all, IGEM gifted me with both the chances to broaden my knowledge in Biology and build invaluable bonds with some of the greatest people I have met in my life. Surely, participating in IGEM has marked a whole new chapter in my life as a college student.
SoHyun Jang
Division of Life Science
I’ve been mainly working on public engagement and outreach. I think these are very meaningful activity that let the public to know about synthetic biology, because I was one of the people who don’t even heard of synthetic biology. As one of the member of iGEM team, Korea_U_Seoul, it is great experience for me to open the new world-synthetic biology- and meet good members of our team.
