I asked myself “what kind of magic portion is that? I have to find out!”  So I joined iGEM.  (turns out to be E. coli- not disappointed) I also joined iGEM because of the growing role synthetic biology plays in health, food, and environmental issues. Rather than passively letting it seep into my life, I joined iGEM to be a part of current and future trend!","question_2":" I have many ambitions and I am open to all opportunities. I am fascinated by many occupations such as \"pharmacist\", \"biotechnology patent lawyer\", \"big data scientist\" and \"WHO agent\". I will stay proactive, committed and flexible to find out what is right for me.

From that experience, I found out that I wanted to be part of the whole research process, including coming up with the project which was something I did not get to do at NYMU. So I found that I would be able to get that opportunity by joining iGEM. And to me, synthetic biology just sounded fun in the sense that I could learn to manipulate genes to allow us to make bacteria do things that they were not originally able to do.

Team

We are the Taipei American School iGEM team, Taiwan's first high school team. Our team consists of 14 dedicated members, 9 of whom will be attending the jamboree in MIT. This is our second year participating in the iGEM competition, and we look forward to continuing for years to come!

About Taipei American School

Taipei American School is a private independent school with an American-based curriculum located in Tianmu (T'ien-mu), Shilin District (Shih-lin), Taipei City. Most graduates of TAS go on to attend colleges and universities in United States, although some choose to attend schools in other countries. TAS strives to stay ahead of the curve in STEAM education. An important aspect of STEAM education is the 'E': Engineering. Our iGEM team represents the application of engineering beyond robotics.

About The Lab

We work in the Sandy R. Puckett Memorial Research Lab, which was completely renovated in 2013 to provide a research laboratory for on-campus student research in synthetic biology and nanotechnology. It is fully equipped with lab tools for research for the iGEM competition. The students have the opportunity to be creative and exploratory in many areas of scientific research at TAS.

Synthetic Biology

The fusion between biological research and engineering has culminated in the creation of synthetic biology. This interdisciplinary area was facilitated by the recent advances in technology, allowing humans to actually design and construct biological devices as if they were machinery. However, the advent of synthetic biology has raised concerns with biosafety and biosecurity, which is why iGEM places such importance on "safety".
