With the support of School of Bioscience and Bioengineering, we established the team called IGEM-SCUT and this is our first year to participate in IGEM. Without rich experience, we explored in the dark. Our achievements are hard won and soaked with perspiration of every teammate.

Liao Xihao
Xihao Liao, a senior, the leader of our team, is in charge of team routines, such as, holding a meeting, arranging activity and keeping team collaborating efficiently. He is also responsible for Olfactory Receptor part and help SYSU IGEM team to express Bax inhibitor, an apoptosis protein. What he always done is to send messages to us, like our parents, reminding us to get up and sleep early almost everyday, when is to have a meeting and so on. He enjoys his lift and what he is doing. He love sports and he often arrange some sports exercise on Friday in order to relax ourselves.

Wang Yicong
Yicong is junior majoring in bioengineering. She is in charge of the oscillating odorant. She is a very S.M.A.R.T girl. S for special, you can recognize her at the first sight because she is extrovert and outstanding. M for motivation，she devote all her love to biology. A for ability, she enriches herself constantly and broadens her horizon in biology. R for reliable, she is punctual and always finish the mission in time. T for team, Yicong is the ‘ financial manager ’ in our team so we call her papa chong as her nickname. She is the perfect girl in Team SCUT.

Chen Rui
She is a junior majoring in bioengineering, lively, sanguine and warm-hearted are bywords of hers. This year, she cooperate with Yicong Wang to accomplish the oscillating odorant part, performing particularly outstanding in obtaining the strains we need. Bacteria baby is the nickname she give to our strains which shows her great love and care to the strains. Rui Chen is the indispensable girl in Team SCUT.

Yan Zewei
Zewei, senior, is in charge of the design of our wiki, poster and team uniform. Also, he is one of the members of odorant producing. When you get into our lab, you can always see him sitting in front of his computer and using AI, PS to design. During his spare time, he enjoy reading, designing and learning new things.

Li Zhiwei
Zhiwei, a junior of bioengineering, is responsible for the group of Modeling. He is the head of Modeling and he is also the only member of this group. He learns modeling by himself. We all call him ‘Huahua’, meaning flowers in English. Maybe you will think he has a little shy, but in fact he is conscientious and gentlemen.

Kuang Junqi
Junqi Kuang, a junior majoring in biotechnology, is making efforts to become an outstanding man. ‘Junqi’ means handsome penguin in Chinese, from his nickname, we can feel his humor and sanguine. In Team SCUT, he is in charge of Odorant Sensing, being so reliable, patient and excellent. What’s more, he spent the whole summer vacation in laboratory which is so devoted and admirable. In his mind, biology is not only his wife, but also his life.

Du Yaqin
Yaqin Du is a sophomore at SCUT studing Biotechnology with a minor in Computer Science And Technology. She was interested in disease research, but currently she is especially excited by synthetic biology and her passion for synthetic biology led her to iGEM. Now in the team she is part of RECEPTOR, woking at gene knockout of the S.cerevisiae. During her free time , she loves fluting, plays volleyball and enjoys quietness sometimes.

Chen Yiding
They were freshmen and the first time partaking in biology research. Without any professional knowledge, they learned by themselves. Through following their predecessors, the past summer they have learnt vast of synthetic biology. Yiding is a member of Sensing while Yuhang belongs to Producing. Yuhang is in charge of writing NOTEBOOK & TEAM as well as the design of flyer. They are both good at music, Yiding plays piano and Yuhang loves guzheng, a Chinese traditional instrument.

Wang Yuying
Yuying, a optimistic girl of bioengineering, is in charge of Human Practise. She is full of love and loves taking care of animals. She belongs to student union of our school and is willing to offer help to freshman.

Chen Yanzhi
Yanzhi, our co-constructor of WIKI, is a student from computer science & engineering. We found him at a dark, wet corner in a lab while he was coding on a website! Now, he is serving as an intern of Ericsson, developing web application & business software. In his spare time, he enioys animation and playing guitar.
