Two PIs

Dr. Keli Tian
Being the first PI, I spent this whole summer vacation with these high school students who are interested deeply in Synthetic Biology and iGEM. I enjoyed meeting and working alongside so many driven young individuals, who worked tirelessly to bring their ideas to life. I’m so proud of these young girls and boys. I am a quiet person, but I love to stay with these young people, because they can influence me with their energy and vitality. Besides the work, I love to travel, do yoga and spend time with my friends and family!

Na Su
I am a Biology teacher in Jinan Foreign Language School. In the spring 2016, I was invited to be the second PI for the iGEM team JNFLS_China. And I found I was interested in Synthetic Biology and iGEM gradually. I really enjoyed seeing that my students were doing experiments in the lab. iGEM offers them an amazing opportunity to make their idea to reality. This is the first iGEM team in Shandong province. I hope these students can continue this activity, which let more and more students to participate in iGEM

Two Instructors

Wei Tian
I am the instructor of iGEM team JNFLS_China, as well as the homeroom teacher of some team members in Jinan Foreign Language School. Passion and enthusiasm are the two most important things accompanying my teaching work, so I spare no effort in helping my brilliant students to go forward. I pay hard effort, but meanwhile, I gain much more than that. It is their bright future that lights my teaching career. Besides those mentioned above, I am also a big fan of sports after work.

Dr. Xia Xu
It is my honor to be an instructor of JNFLS_China. I am responsible for the safety of whole team members in the lab. They were trained before the experiment starting. In the whole processes, I sensed the passion of these high school students in this summer. All of them are very interested in Synthetic Biology and iGEM competition. They worked hard and sometimes they worked till the midnight in the lab. However they learned a lot and they are growing researchers. They had lot of fun in this summer!

Fei Xie
I am a graduate student in Shandong University, major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I am a kind of person who is easily moved and somewhat of a perfectionist, even in small things, and I do need more self-confidence to see a thing through to the end. I love reading, which can give me happiness and quiet. I really enjoy my life now, although I still have many dreams to chase. In this summer, being an advisor, I got involved in iGem and synthetic biology.

Xiaofei Liu

In addition to learning the professional knowledge and my own research topics, I also like to listen to music, to see the film. TV is my most love; the Game of Thrones is my favorite, looking forward to the return of seventh sets of super. I also like to travel, the future plan is to travel around the world, as well as a good study of music and dance.

Lin Ge
Hello everyone, my name is Ge Lin, I major in Biochemistry and molecular biology and I will graduate from Shandong University in July, 2017. During the past two years, under the strict guidance of my tutor, I have learned systematically the theory of profession and gotten the basic manipulative skills. In the mean time, I developed quality of diligence, responsibility, kindness and honesty. I’m very happy to be an advisor of JNFLS_China. iGEM is fun and creative.

Student Leaders:

Peiyue Zhuang
My name is Peiyue Zhuang, a student from Jinan Foreign Language School, mainly responsible for human practice. My interest is on social activities and relationships, so being in charge of human practice in our team is such an exciting challenge for me! My personal hobby is debate, which isn’t very popular in China, but I regard it as an indispensable ability to build up one’s personality. Other than debate, reading history and writing plays are also my favorite to do in my spare time.

Yujia Liu
My name is Yujia Liu. When I was 5 years old, I decided to be a scientist in the future, and I keep on going toward this direction. I love exploring the world and designing new tools. In my free time, I read a lot of books about biology and also other various subjects. Sometimes I play music. Those hobbies makes me happy and I can relax from academic projects. Besides doing some experiments, I am also responsible for math modeling in our team.

Xueer Han
William Han, a young high school student from JFLS. ‘I can devote nothing but all my time, effort and passion to the career I love.’ We like biology. Biology is a study of the funniest, prettiest most important thing here on earth: life. Some say that the 21st century is belongs to biology. I totally agree. There is a bright future in the future of biology even though the road of which is a long and twisty one. But still, my friend, we need carry on. No matter what kind of obstacle is waiting for us, there is no chance for us to run away like a coward. Biologists are explorers and the one who have passion and will of carry on.

Students:

Haibei Jiang
I am Haibei Jiang, a 15 years old girl, from Jinan Foreign Language School. My favorite subjects are Biology and Chemistry. My hoobby is swimming and playing Zither. My dream Job is to be a surgeon. I felt much pleasure in the process of preparing for iGEM competition and I learned a myriad of knowledge when I do the experiment and the scientific research. I join the iGEM Competition just because of my deep interest of Biology and the curious of comprehensive experiment. It’s fantastic experience!

Quan Gao
I'm Quan Gao, a girl who loves handcraft and reading books with sunshine and can face everyday with smile. I am fond of science very much. Biology and mathematics are the most amazing subjects for me in the world. So I am very happy to participate this iGEM competition. For me, exploring new fields and recovering the aspect I have already known are my dreams. Being in this competition is an awesome and unforgettable experience during my life. We had lots of fun in this summer and I really enjoyed this program.
