During IGEM, Weiyi focuses on expanding the influence of their team. Weiyi feels IGEM is a meanigful competition, students not only need to organize social acticities to teach individuals more about AD but also need to cocentrate on lab during this time.
Yuxi Yuan
Yuxi is a student from Nanjing Foreign Language School. She is interested in biomedical sciences. She came to the iGEM team because of her will to look for possibilities to treat Alzheimer disease and help people who suffer from it. What she also learns during this programme is the valuable experiences for social activities held by students themselves. Beside these,she is enthusiastic about digital painting.
Shuwen Zhang
Concentrating: Genetic biology
Secondary Goal: Biochemistry
Shuwen is a junior from the Webb Schools of California in Claremont, CA. She hopes that she would gain more experience in the field of genetic biology by participating in this project. In the school, she is part of the paleontology program where she does comparative biology. For this project, she is the captain of wet team and makes sure the team's notebook as well as their procedures are clear enough for future reference. She is a very responsible and dependable part of the team who never fails to.
Qingyi Zhu

She enjoys communicating with her team members and building strong friendships with them.She is very active in the group and has the ability to reconcile conflicts between members. In this project. She learned how to operate experimental instruments rigorously and to process data effectively.
Ziye Wang
Concentration: art and design
Ziye is from Shaoxing Sino-US program and she is extremely interested in design. She designed movie tickets and invitations in the team and she was also discussed with team members about how to design logo and posters. Moreover,she listened carefully and finished her experiments effectively. At school, Ziye was the vice President of the student union and excellent at piano,drawing,dancing, fencing,etc.
MingJian Zhu
Concentrating: Bio Engineering
MingJian is from Brooks School, MA. Since primary school, MingJian has had a 'sweet tooth' for Biology. He was intrigued by Lab works; during the time period, he gained an abundant amount of knowlege which inceased his intrest in Biology even more. Mingjian decided to work on AD because he belives Alzheimer is a major problem that is affecting people from all around the world, yet -according to our survay- most people in China has the wrong interpretation of the disease, attention must be brought upon this topic. Nontheless, MingJian also loved working with the dry team in spreading awareness and visiting elders. Futhermore, MingJian was able to retain the support and trust of the members and teachers, thus, he was elected as the "Head Captain" of Anti-AD. Leading the team of many, MingJian collaborated with the two co-captains, YiFei and ShuWen, to make sure that everyone in the team is satisfied with a variety of work while staying on trak. MingJian is grateful for having such a family-like team, and will continue to work on his Biology intrest.
Haonan Luo
Haonan Luo is a student from Ridley College in Ontario, who possesses a keen interest in biology. Over the course of the project, he gained much deeper understandings to knowledges on genetic biology and neuroscience, as well as protocols for biochemical experiments, as he participated in lab activity. He also mastered the skill of data processing while taking on his responsibility of organizing lab notes and analyze experimental results. These valuable knowledges and skills will bring profound benefits to his future studies in biology.
