Wayson Luo Yihan

For me, Wayson, science is the only thing left for my dull mind, since I’m not neither a fluent speaker who could dominate every presentation or a computer science guy who inherent the Chinese supreme math ability. However, this doesn’t mean that science is inferior in terms of levels difficulty, since “21 century is the age of life science.” It’s hard to imagine how fast the science community is progressing. The interest towards science, or specifically biology, stems from those scientific magazines like “National Geography” and “Scientific American.” Imagine you could heard something like “The genes responsible for procrastination has been found, though it only applies to woman,” “Nanoparticles from Cuttlefish Ink could inhibit Tumor Growth,” or “To treat autism, he regularly drinks dozens of worms” every day, it’s hard to suppress the ‘sensual’ passion towards them. In this year’s IGEM competition, I am responsible for help my teammates to design our vaccination system.

Susie Zheng Shuxin

Hi, I’m Susie! This is my first time that I take part in such an international and formal biology competition. Although I am not the core of this team, I learned a lot biology knowledge and some propaganda skills, which benefits me a lot. This is not only a competition, but also a chance to self-growth and exercise.

Queenie Yang Shuting

For biology, it's life. For IGEM, it's the expectation for future. Like any IGEMers, to hold the test tubes and find the answers for life related, world related problems is my will.

Julie Huang Jingxuan

This is Julie!I define myself as a biology nerd and a soccer player. There is nothing more fascinating than the inner system of various biosomes or more cheerful than running on the soccer field. My incentive to join our igem project is to learn more advanced level genetic designing and have some possible “microsurgeries” on cells.

Hardis Zhang Haitao

Hi, my name is Hardis, a young man who is interested in biology. Exactly, I am curious about the human’s brain and eyes when I was a child. I wonder how is the brain generate and express human’s characters, cognitions and feelings. I’d like to find how is a jelly like globules show the colorful world for us. I think biology just like an undetected gold mine and I decide to spend my lifetime on researching biology. And now, the IGEM project is my first step to achieve my target.

Joyce Xu Yingfu

In the first year of American high school, the biology class and out school reading aroused my interests. Also, I want to understand more aspects of biology like genetic editing through iGEM. In this program, human practice attracted me, it not only requires us to understand much specific knowledge, but also we have to design, propagandize to make our final project more completed.

Mora Shen Yi

I like biology very much. Look at the biological viruses in Resident Evil. Look at Avatar, where animals are controlled by human consciousness through a special kind of cellular signal transduction. I don't think it's wishful thinking. In ancient times, who could have imagined that dozens of tons of steel could fly in the sky? The more I know, the more I love. From muscle relaxation using NO to dual-messenger signaling pathways, from the tricarboxylic acid cycle to fat degradation, from cancer to p51p53, from cyclin dependent kinases to gap junctions, from proton pump of mitochondria to that of chloroplasts... Creatures are magical and have their own niche. A biological phenomenon is caused by the coordination or antagonism of various reasons. It is same for KHV, our topic. We used many systems to try to solve this problem. We divided the design into three parts, one by one, and let different factors influence each other.

Linda Xu Jiaxin

As a student who’s brain is filled with liberal art and historical events, it is hard for me to just imagine myself being in science competition (igem). However, after listening to my friend talking about all those strange yet familiar terms in science, maybe out of curiosity, I found myself fascinated by the mysteries hidden behind science even more than inner struggles of the “Little Women”. But how am i going to thrive in the group with my only basic knowledge of biology? My answer to that is to dedicate all i have in communication while keep digging deeper in biology.

Kimi Liu Tiancheng

Hello, I am Kimi. 300 years ago, when Anton Levin Hooke first observed bacteria with his own single-lens microscope, he opened a door to understanding microbes. Sixty years ago, Watson and Crick proposed the DNA double helix model, and we began to gradually unlock the code of life. Today, iGEM gives us the opportunity to continue to explore of this wonderful world with the legacy of our predecessors. Nobody knows we are right or wrong, and no one knows how far we can go, but we will keep moving forward.
