ANG Shi Hui

“Hello! I’m Shi Hui. I am currently a third year student doing Life Sciences, now on exchange in Denmark! I’m interested in human diseases and their potential treatments. In my free time I like to play GAMES :)”

CHOI Yan Ru

“Hi! I'm Yan Ru, a third year student doing Life Sciences. I am interested in learning how microbes can cause human diseases and how we can manipulate them for therapeutic purposes. A random fact about me is that I don't like mint-flavoured ice cream. ”

CHAN Man Yau Joseph

“Cat fanatic and coffee-blooded meteorologist; priorities in that order. When not going bonkers over cats or swimming in atmospheric dynamics, I am the modeler and occasional statistician for the team.”

Janice DARIKHO

"I am a final year Pharmacy student. Most days, I look for glow-worms under the microscope. Hence, favourite quote in lab: Where are my bacteria? iGEM taught me that diversity is to be celebrated and that deadlines wait for no one.”

HAN Ziyin

“Hi there! I am fresh graduate student working on asymmetric cell division mechanism. A sci-fi fan who believed ‘Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything’ is (Cdc)42! ”

Priyanka KAMATH

“I’m a third year student in Life Sciences. Synthetic biology is a field of endless possibilities and that’s exactly what fascinated me the most when I decided to take part this year. iGEM has been an amazing learning experience for me and I’m so thankful to have made it through this journey with great teammates!”

Corey Bryen LINGAM

"Hello! I am a third year Life Sciences student. The iGEM competition has given me the opportunity to learn a lot more about various scientific methods and genetic engineering. The competition has certainly been an interesting experience and has allowed me to discover many innovative and creative ideas that synthetic biology can provide."

Keshiniy MADIVANNAN

"Hi, I'm Keshiniy. I'm a third year Life Sciences student fascinated by synthetic biology and the world of microbes. I also enjoy sweet treats and a good swim, just like my bacteria."

WONG Chi Yan

"I'm a final year undergraduate majoring in Life Science with a second major in Statistics. I was part of Team SPSingapore 2015, and I joined Team NUS_Singapore 2016 as I greatly enjoyed my iGEM experience. Apart from synthetic biology, my other interests lie in microbiology and proteomics."

YEAM Cheng Teng

"I am a final year Life Sciences student at the National University of Singapore. I joined iGEM 2016 to explore more about therapeutics and to befriend more like-minded peers. "
