her desire to blend her interests. Kalen believes the intersection of disciplines is a great source for innovation.

She became interested in science and research at a young age.  One of her childhood memories is of constructing a zoo

for her dolls to attend, even doing the research to write placards for each animal exhibit. Her continued interest

in constructing and designing things has driven her to pursue a career in bioengineering. Eventually she sees herself
 +
researching evolutionarily optimized biological structures so that their design can be replicated when engineering
 +
biological and non-biological structures. Outside of the lab, Kalen spends her time tutoring elementary students,
 +
watching movies, and playing volleyball.

Ethan is a sophomore pursuing a B.S. in Biology and Computational & Applied Mathematics & Statistics. For as
 +
long as he can remember he’s always wanted to be a scientist both because of his love of learning and because
 +
of his desire to change the world. Ethan was especially excited to work on iGEM this summer because synthetic
 +
biology is a relatively young field and there is a lot that we don't know yet. Additionally, synthetic biology
 +
is a field that has a lot of potential to change the future of medicine and the world at large. In his spare
 +
time Ethan enjoys perusing local culture forums to consume and create various image and text based communications,
 +
as well as learning highly specific useless facts and playing tennis.

synthetic biology field through iGEM has been incredibly exciting! As a part of the W&M iGEM team Callan
 +
has been able to gain valuable research experience while learning how to think about molecular biology in

in some way, whether it's practicing medicine or participating in biomedical research; she is particularly
 +
interested in neurobiology and neurological disorders. In addition to the iGEM team, Callan is also a part
 +
of W&M Dhamaal Bhangra, a dance team that specializes in the energetic bhangra dance native to northern India!
 +
She also enjoys swimming/diving, tutoring small children, and wandering through the Williamsburg farmers market
 +
in search of cute dogs.

Likhitha wants to continue her synthetic biology journey into medical research, which is why the overlap between synthetic biology and biomedicine motivates her to push existing boundaries to build circuits that could for example design microbes that assist cell-based immunotherapy.

Joe Maniaci
