Team
Hello, everyone! Our team is made up of ten undergraduates, two professors, and one graduate student. We are the first team from RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) to participate in iGEM, and we are excited and grateful for the opportunity to complete. We've been doing our best thus far, and look forward to meeting the other teams at the Giant Jamboree in November!

Name: Helen Elizabeth Andrea Merricks Class Year: Senior Major: Biology Hi, my name is Helen and I am a senior studying Biology at RPI. I found iGEM particularly interesting because it allowed for the collaborative work of different majors. I’m also excited about the work that we’ll be doing the summer because it could have a lot of implications for the future. When I’m not in class or the lab, I’m practicing with RPI’s Dance Team, watching TV, or working on the executive board of my sorority.

Name: Blossom Wong Class Year: Junior Major: Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology Hi, my name is Blossom and I am a junior studying Bioinformatics and Molecular Biology. When I first heard of iGEM, I was fascinated with the idea of collaborating with students of other majors working towards a similar goal. Genetic engineering is my passion and I love working in labs conducting different experiments and discovering new findings. When I’m not in class, studying, or lab, I go running, hiking, camping and playing basketball. I’m extremely excited to work and collaborate with my iGEM team.
