ALASTAIR HARRIS
I am a fourth year Biotechnology student concentrating on the field of microbiology for my honours year. Specifically I am interested in the production of ethanol with the aim of starting a craft brewery. For the iGEM team this year I have taken on the role of Financial Manager which has taught me a significant number of skills outside the traditional wet-lab work. These skills will prove extremely valuable in any future job, particularly those which have developed my ability to present, and manage the funding, of novel ideas.
JESS CHASE
I am currently in my third year of studying Biomedical Science at Auckland University. My particular interests lie in cancer research, molecular biology, and genetics, and I hope to pursue cancer research in the future. I have been one of the wet-lab managers of our iGEM team this year and have learned a lot about running a research project. One of the most valuable skills that I have learned has been working in a team and coordinating different schedules to ensure that our project gets done without putting an unreasonable amount of pressure on any individual.
