Our Instructor

Associate Prof. I-Son Ng

Dr. I-Son Ng is the associate professor in College of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering at Xiamen University. Her research interests are biofuel, engineering of enzyme and protein, zymology, genetic engineering, biochemical separation procedures and proteomics. Her role for the project is to provide suggestions and instruments.










Prof. Baishan Fang

Dr. Baishan Fang is the professor in College of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering at Xiamen University. In the group of biocatalysis and biotransformation, his research mainly focuses on synthetic biology, mining and the transformation of the enzyme, construction of bio-molecular machines, the application of new biocatalysts. His major role of XMU iGEM team is to mentor for all and to enlighten the members.

Our Advisor

Xia Zhang (Tina)

Tina Zhang taught us everything about molecular biology experiments and walked us all the way through this competition. Xin Wu, as an experienced iGEMer, has taken part in iGEM twice and gave us many insightful suggestions in team development. Zhichao Guan helped building our microfluidic chip and guided us in continued data processing.










Xin Wu

The past three years have seen his tremendous dedication to iGEM, Xin Wu, a passionate team member in XMU China 2011, a devoted team leader in XMU China 2012 and now, an invaluable advisor in XMU Software 2013. Had it not been Xin Wu's constant encouragement and guidance, we,the inexperienced iGEMers might have been faint-hearted and failed to face up to the challenges during the process. It is drawing on his expertise in synthetic biology and proficiency in iGEM competition that we have solved the seemingly unsolvable and conquered the seemingly unconquerable.










Zhichao Guan

Zhichao Guan helped building our microfluidic chip and guided us in continued data processing.

Our University

Xiamen University

Xiamen University was founded in 1921 by Tan Kah Kee, the well-known patriotic overseas Chinese leader. Over the past ninety years, as the result of following the school motto: Pursue Excellence, Strive for Perfection, Xiamen University has accumulated rich experience in offering its educational programs and has presented its distinctive features in running the programs. The main campus of XMU locates in a picturesque setting between the sea and a scenic mountain, spreading over 150 hectares, and is generally regarded as the most beautiful campus in China.

Our City

Xiamen

Xiamen is a coastal city located in the southeast coast of China popularly known as the 'Garden on the Sea.' An early poet once described the city in this way: 'A city leans on stones like a flower; millions of mountains embrace the sea,' which was a true portrayal of the scenery of 'Garden on the Sea.' There are many good reasons to visit Xiamen: With good food, some great architecture and a mild to hot climate, Xiamen is hard to beat.
