Joshua Argote is a senior at Nikola Tesla Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics High School in Redmond, Washington with a fascination in research. He was born in Cochabamba, Bolivia—where he has organized several outreach events at–and came to the United States at an early age with Spanish as his first language. In college, Joshua plans to double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, and Computer Science, with the hope to become a professor and further develop computational methods in cancer research sometime in the future. His long-term vision is to become a professional advisor and advocate for non-profit organizations around the world to spread the early access of quality STEM education. He runs Spanish Club and the TEDxRedmondHighSchool organizing committee for the past three years, and is currently investigating the dual-role of certain receptors in cell proliferation and death. Joshua heavily enjoys the science and outreach aspects of iGEM.
