Team

Kalen Clifton

✻

Kalen is a junior studying biology and applied mathematics. The interdisciplinary nature of our project appeals to 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. 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 Jones

✻

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.

Likhitha Kolla

✻

Likhitha is a junior pursuing Biology and Chemistry. She joined the team to work with students who approach a scientific challenge differently from the way she might so that she can develop a well rounded view of the gray area in STEM and think like a mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, biologist, and chemist all at once. 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

✻

Joe is a junior majoring in Computational & Applied Mathematics & Statistics. Last year he was a member of the 2015 W&M iGEM team. As we have a young team this year, Joe oversees the day-to-day wetlab operations and keeps things running smoothly. He is excited for the future prospects of iGEM as an institution that embodies both creativity and scientific rigor at William & Mary.

John Marken

✻

John is a senior majoring in Applied Mathematics. He is interested in the fundamental laws and principles governing biological systems and how they give rise to the emergence of complexity. Last year he was a member of the W&M iGEM team, performing the mathematical modeling and data analysis for the project, and this year he is the team's designated student leader. After iGEM, he plans on applying to PhD programs in Systems and Synthetic Biology.

John Mitchell

✻

John is a sophomore at the College of William & Mary where he is studying physics and mathematics. This year he is on the iGEM team where he is doing mathematical modeling and simulations. John hopes that his work in iGEM will provide him with experience in a variety of STEM disciplines. After William & Mary, he hopes to pursue a doctorate in theoretical physics.
