Michelle

I love long walks on the beach, although I cannot swim so don't get me too close to the water. I enjoy going on adventures but I am still missing that “special someone” (Neythen) to explore Middle Earth with/a partner in crime to chuck bad rings into the Fires of Mount Doom. I am a dog person but am not opposed to the idea of potentially having one cat. I enjoy synthetic biology and 9am lectures. Your chances of getting a date with me increase if you can offer me a good internship. If you fit this criteria do not hesitate to contact me. Please and Thank You :).

Amandeep

Being one of the youngest members of the iGEM team, I’m the perfect guinea pig for our healthy ageing project! Currently in my second year of a Biochemical engineering MEng degree and I love looking for new challenges, being inspired by synthetic biology and popcorn filled movie nights. I wanted a summer packed full of fun, blood, sweat and tears and and iGEM fits the job perfectly!

Abbie

3rd year biochemistry (MSci) student obsessed with antibodies, ageing and antibiotic resistance. I will be in the lab experimenting and documenting our progress on social media. Aside from this I enjoy meeting and interacting with new people - whether that’s other iGEM teams or the public. Thus I hope to be able to bring the two together through organising events to engage everyone with synthetic biology! I am the early riser of the team and love waking up to sunrises. When not iGEM-ing you will see me dancing (or trying to), exploring new places and working as a student ambassador at UCL or shamelessly selling subscriptions to The Economist.

Jakub

Third year Biochemical Engineering student. My interest in synthetic biology stems from its unlimited potential for improvement. I hope to bring my lab experience into our iGEM team, along with some modelling and automation knowledge. Since I am keen on industrial bioprocessing, I am also going to work on the industrial aspects of our project, such as scale-up.
As for my non-biotech related interest, they range, among others, from economics to jazz music and cooking.

Neythen

Just finished second year Natural Sciences, studying Physics and Molecular and Cell Biology. Synthetic biology appeals to me as a way to build complex systems from the bottom up and extend the function of natural organisms for our benefit. I have an interest in technology and hope to bring my self taught programming skills into our project.

yuqiao Liu

I come from Beijing. I love Science but my passion in Science is presented in terms of philosophy. It is an amazing opportunity to be involved in UCL IGEM team with people from different background. Orchestra, Opera, ballet and photography is my non-academic life and I enjoy cooking as well. Things change fast at my age.

Hana

Finishing up my Masters in Biochemical Engineering, I’m keen to delve into the synbio startup world! I love all things ageing and will be working on the entrepreneurial aspects of our project this year. My biggest weakness is keeping a straight face with this crazy team! When I’m not busy with iGEM, I like to spend my time thinking up reasons for not going to the gym.
