Meet the Team
Greetings, synthetic biology fans! Come and join us in our quest for ultimate recycled paper! This year 2019 ECUST_ China team assembled 15 students from East China University of Science and Technology. Our team members are from different majors, and we united together to explore how to make the world better with synthetic biology. Although we had different hobbies and personalities, we shared an easy rapport which underlay our tacit cooperation. We cherished this wonderful bound and memorable experience. We believe we are "transformers" to the world, and we will make paper paper again with "Paper Transformer”.
We appreciate all our instructors and advisors who escorted us throughout the project. We also appreciate all the iGEM colleagues who have provided valuable advices and useful information for the project. Without their help, our superhero Paper Transformer won’t even exist.
Members
Miao Zongjie is a person of passion and active mind, who draws a buleprint for the project and always comes up with good ideas. As the team leader, he is responsible for overall planning and arrangements to make sure everything goes well. Through meetings and discussions, he units all members together and pushes forward our team work.
Iris Hu is a senior at East China University of Science and Technology. She thought she would become an painter, since she loved painting so much, but running into biology redirected her dream to an equally novel, but even more fascinating field. Iris shares widespread interest regarding music, reading novels and drawing, frequently in spare hours by this relaxation.
Jin Qianwei is a senior student in ECUST, majoring in bioscience. She takes the responsibility of conducting experiments, making presentations and many other issuses. Additionally, she is also a member of ECUST iGEM club. In her spare time, she is enamored with swimming, yoga and watching films.
Xiang Lan is a senior student majoring in bioscience, he is fascinated by the ingenious and marvelous cell machines. He finds it intriguing that the organism can work using a whole set of building blocks. Bioscience is actually not his favorite major, but he is glad to have the chance to get close to biological research. Now he is pursuing his dream as a biophysicist. In his free time, he is also into language learning and singing.
Joy Xu is a senior bioengineering student at ECUST, and she is passionate about all kinds of challenging tasks she would face, such as synthetic biology experiments, web programming and art design. She enjoys the sense of accomplishment and joy that comes with a successful experience. However, she may go bald soon.
Liu Xu is a senior student majoring in biotechnology of Applied Biology department. She believes in Hegel’s “what exists is reasonable.” In her free time, she volunteers to promote popular science and participates many voluntory labors. By the way, she likes K-pop and reading poems.
Clement Wang comes from East China university of science and technology. His major is bioengineering and minor is English. He is honored to be a member of iGEM team. He has great keen on playing basketball and doing experiment. Also, He likes reading books, especially about mythology of Greek. He thinks synthetic biology will change the world and many parts of people's life, and he is willing to participate in our great project.
Jason Tan is an undergraduate from ECUST, majoring in bioengineering. He is the one who sometimes can’t help but explain his ideas in the second exotic language, and misunderstood by all the others. He mainly dedicated himself in the model and human practices parts, which are according to him the adornment of the program, but actually his limited talent on experiments in another word fixed him on the auxiliary position.
Aqua Duan majors in bioscience. She loves biology and small animals very much. She has many hobbies, such as wearing Han Chinese clothing, listening to crosstalk and buying crystal. She likes the sea and whales very much and hopes to work in a laboratory with sea views in the future. She also likes to do experiments, so she can give up a chance to watch whales in the sea in order to complete the experiment.
Xing Yunzhi is a smart and capable man, while he sometimes makes mistakes but he is a reliable partner in many cases. He dreamed of becoming a bio-scientist who could turn all kinds of strange ideas on his mind into reality. However, now he's just doing something about Escherichia coli.
Lydia Yu is a junior majoring in bioengineering. She is fond of the mystery of biology and enjoys immersing herself in the laboratory to explore the unknown. She is an enthusiastic and active girl who also has many interests in life, such as playing badminton, Hip-Hop dancing, learning about geomorphology and so on. This summer, she was very happy to fight for the iGEM competition with her teammates.
Sophia Chen is a junior student at ECUST. She majors in bioengineering and has joined the successive postgraduate and doctoral programs of study. She distinguishes herself not only in the grades she earned, but also in her ability to work independently. As one of the most creative team members, she often contributes good ideas. She ranks the third in major. And as a minor student in English, she is fluent both in English and Chinese.
Gu Xiaobing is a junior student in East China University of Science and Technology, majoring in bioengineering. She is a girl of passion for new knowledge. In her spare time, she devotes herself to dozens of books in order to broaden her horizon. As a member of ECUST iGEMer, she is a part of model group. Though model is a tough work, she has the confidence that she can figure it out and present the best model for the subject.
Erene Wu is a junior majoring in biotechnology. This is her first time to take part in igem competition. In addition to her biotechnology major, she minors in math on weekends and was a strong member of modeling team. She hopes to continue her studies in biomedical engineering. In her spare time, she likes photography, playing the piano, reading and so on.
Zhenzhen Ma is a graduate student from East China university of science and technology. She majors in industrial design and is good at Design Thinking. To promote interdisciplinary cooperation and make better visualization, she communicates with teammates and listens to their concept of this competition. It’s a great honor for her to be a part of this team and to fight together for this great project.
