This is Alex Cho, a rising Sophomore in Stuyvesant Highschool. He has recently passed the bronze level examination of the USACO and has taken interest in the field of biology, specifically genetics, due to how a change so small in the genes could change the entire body and how this could be taken advantage of to solve many issues.
My name is Angelo and I like cool things.
An avid lover of oranges and all things citrus, Caroline hopes to make the world Huang Long Bing free through a combination of genetic engineering and an unfaltering positive attitude.
Hi! My name is David from Portsmouth Abbey School. I'm a rising sophomore at high school, and in terms of biology, I'm extremely interested in oncology and cancer immunotherapy.

Hi, I'm Jeany Park. I am a Junior at Kent School in Connecticut. I am interested in Sociology, but I wanted to be part of the iGEM competition. I believed that iGEM competition was not only for science but also for problem-solving of environmental issues in the world. Also, it is for the people who are desired to changing the world. Sociology is mostly related to humans and society. Without these, we wouldn't have the world. IGEM allows everything to be combined. It allows more knowledge and understanding of the world. I wanted to participate in iGEM to be part of the group of engineers who could make a better world.

My name is Arjeta. I am a Biochemistry major at Hunter College (with a minor in theatre too, bonkers). I like chemistry and biology, so thankfully someone put the two together. I consider my greatest accomplishment to date to be the fact that I am caught up with all 21 season and counting of Law & Order SVU. In my free time, you’ll catch me making muscle gains at the gym. Olympic weight lifting is my dream - if only Crossfit gyms weren’t so expensive...
