The Team
Undergraduate Students
Michael Benjamin Hampton
I’m Michael Hampton, and I’m a 4th year student at UGA. I am majoring in Biology with the hopes of going to dental school and graduating with a degree in general dentistry. I enjoy working in any science setting, from lab work to co-teaching in science classes. Besides my work in the science community, I enjoy music; I play bass guitar for the UGA marching band, as well as the guitar and piano on the side. With my spare time, I like to draw, lift weights, and play racquetball. I enjoy working for project iGEM, and look forward to participating in this year’s meeting at Toronto!
Peyton Smith
Peyton Smith is a 5th year senior at the University of Georgia studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Peyton began his collegiate career at the age of 15 by enrolling in the Georgia Academy of Aviation, Mathematics, Engineering and Science (G.A.M.E.S.) program at Middle Georgia College. Peyton is very passionate about research and has been involved in research throughout his undergraduate career. He explains his experience with UGA-iGEM to the UGA student daily, Red & Black, as “the most beneficial, impactful and exciting part of my academic career.” Peyton’s future goals are to attend graduate school as a PhD candidate in Biochemistry. Outside of Science, he competes nationally in archery, loves jamming to Dave Matthews Band and appreciates classic cars.
