Team Accomplishment

2019 RHIT iGEM team has seven team members who work together to solve the puzzle about Arsenic and Cobalt bioremediation. We have two major teams: the lab team led by Nicholas Keen and the human practice team led by Benjamin French. All team members did a great job on working in the lab and participating in the human practice activities. Other than that, the 2019 RHIT iGEM wiki page was constructed and developed by Keegan Parkhurst, Lu Xu, Joy Shi, and Mary Hu, with the other team members' help. Keegan, Ben, and Nicholas worked actively on collaboration with other teams. The mathematical modeling was done by Nicholas.
