Why am I on iGEM: because i'm interested in synthetic biology. I'm really glad to be a part of the iGEM this year.
JINGI YEO
Dry lab member
Field: Biomedical Engineering
Dream: Let everyone enjoy their abilities beyond any environmental limitation
Why am I on iGEM: I’m really love with synthetic biology. iGEM is the best fit experience for me. I can share ideas of synthetic biology with global students and a great motivation to devote myself here.
JIWOO CHOI
Dry Lab Member
Field: Biotechnology
Dream: To be a member of the world who can help people
Why am I on iGEM: It is awesome that making new thing doesn’t exist in the world!
Hyunkyu Han
Wet lab leader
Field: Biotechnology
Dream: Let no one in the world replace me
Why am I on iGEM: Discovering new facts is a great pleasure. I was impressed by the fact that through experimentation, know-ledges we had only known in theory could be directly observed, and we could show that our thoughts were right and must be through the observation. I also feel responsible and rewarding that my work can substantiate, realize and consolidate our ideas. I believe our steps will come together to change the world, and we will move onto our dreams.
Yongjoon Jin
Wet lab member
Field: Biosystems & Biomedical sciences
Dream: Keep calm and cool-headed.
Why am I on iGEM: By studying synthetic biology, I learned the importance of classifying and sorting DNA sequences into functional parts, and of viewing life as the result of these parts. I would like to solve various diseases and social issues that separate humans from everyday life and cause many people to suffer with the attractive tool, synthetic biology. I will have fun talking with friends from all over the world who have similar interests with me.
Kwangho Son
Wet lab member
Field: Biotechnology
Dream: Prepare for the future based on logical thinking
Why am I on iGEM: Living things have many different and sophist-icated functions. Biology can use these functions to solve problems that cannot be solved by chemical or physical processes. Synthetic biology is the study of solving problems by using biology as a tool. I think the engineering approach to the problem is very helpful in solving it. This is why I became interested in synthetic biology. Through IGEM, I want to learn various perspectives and possibilities about synthetic biology.
Seyoung Park
