Yo! I'm Rob Schultz. I'm a junior majoring in Biomedical Engineering at ASU. I am a member of the Rugby team on campus and a leader in the Respect Movement. I grew up on the lake in Prior Lake, Minnesota where I used to dream of being a scientist one day. Now, I'm excited that iGem has given me my first opportunity to contribute to a project!

Cassandra is a second year PhD student at ASU in the Biological Design Program. Besides working with iGEM students, she spends her time in the Haynes' lab working on controlling chromatin dynamics in cancer cells. She is interested in mammalian synthetic biology, the relationship between epigenetics and neurodegeneration, and the use of synthetic biology in food. Outside of the lab, she enjoys writing poetry, roller derby, and participating in terrain races with her labmates.
