Ling Jinclose

This is Ling! I'm a senior major in Biological Sciences. The last-year iGEM journey left me fascinating memories, because of which I decided to make further exploration in synthetic biology and this time I became the team leader! I am mainly in charge of work allocation and provide advice on team wiki design and content. It's really exciting to cooperate with Waner to lead the team and spend the past year with all the diligent members.

I am currently an senior student major in biology, and this is my second year working as a NJU-China member. Last time we spent a whole year working on the siRNA based drug system dealing with opioid addiction, and this year we’ve been trying to update the system and apply it to a more clinical direction. Besides that, I have also been doing labwork on microbiology since sophomore. One more thing, Post-Rock huge fan=D.

Chenhui Dengclose

Hello, iGEMers! I'm Chenhui, a junior student in Nanjing University, major in Biology. It's my pleasure and privilege to be involved in NJU-China and the last couple of months were such an enjoyable and meaningful time for me. In our team, I participated in our lab works such as qPCR experiments both in vivo and in vitro validations and human practice. Also, I am one of the presenters to present our project at the Giant Jamboree in iGEM2016. I'm so glad to have this excellent experience working with such a lot of great minds and really appreciate the opportunity to share ideas with iGEMers from all over the world.

Jiaxin Caiclose

Hi! My name is Jiaxin Cai. I’m a junior student at Nanjing University. Although my major is advertising, I’m quite interested in biology because it can help us to know more about ourselves and other creatures from a special aspect. So it’s a big pleasure for me to join NJU-CHINA team. My main work includes the human practice part and video production. I participated in the interview of doctors at Gulou Hospital in Nanjing, sent questionnaires to patients at Tianjin Tumor Hospital and analyzed our questionnaires. Also, I’m responsible for producing the background introduction film and interview video. In brief, wish we could have a wonderful time in Boston and get a good result.

I am totally obsessed with science and technology, which is one of the many reasons that I joined the iGEM team this year. I take major responsibility for designing and building wiki of NJU-China. Along with providing us with experience across several fields, iGEM is a great way to get to meet many fun, smart, and interesting people. This NJU-China family gave me the most warmth during this whole 9 months.

Xiaoyang Guclose

Hello! I am Xiaoyang Gu, a rising junior majoring in biology at Nanjing University. My main task in our project is doing experiments, such as cultivating several kinds of cells (including chassis cells and cancer cells), transfecting these cells, collecting exosomes for both in vivo and in vitro validation, conducting western blot, etc. Also, I have done some art work. Our team logo, PowerPoint for presentation and poster for giant jamboree are my designs. I am glad to take part in such a good project and improve myself. This unforgettable experience really inspires my passion in scientific research. Above all, I wish we could realize our dream in giant jamboree.

Zhengya Liuclose

Hi iGEMers, this is Zhengya Liu from School of Life Science, Nanjing University. I am currently in my senior year and major in Biological Science. This is my second year participating iGEM and I am eager to share our ideas with brilliant young minds from the globe. My major research interest lies in neuroscience especially the neural circuits for metabolism and other physiological functions and responses. In my spare time, watching TV series is one of my favorite ways to relax. Homeland and Breaking Bad are the two at the top of my list so I highly recommend everyone to watch. See you guys at the jamboree!
