2nd year Microbiology and Immunology

I first heard about iGEM when I was in high school and ever since I wanted to be part of it. For me this is a very exciting opportunity. I can’t wait to make some awesome bacteria! I moved to Canada 2 years ago from Germany. Now I am really enjoying Vancouver. My favourite thing to do here is skiing in winter; I can’t wait for next season. Besides microbiology I am interested in marine biology. Through scuba diving I fell in love with the beautiful underwater world. On campus you can find me either in the lab, at the gallery or at the pool napping. But if there is something you should know about me is that I love travelling and living in different places around the world, so this is definitely not my last stop.

4th year Chemical and Biological Engineering, Bioprocess option

I got interested in iGEM during a class presentation, but what really caught my attention is the opportunity for student driven innovative research. I was heavily involved in science fair during middle school and high school, and look forward to pursing team-lead innovative research again. A bit about myself: I love almost any water-sport, and would happily spend the rest of my life lounging about beaches and cottages, sailing and waterskiing in the sun until I develop arthritis or skin cancer, or both. A few random facts about myself: I hate bananas, I love the smell of incubators, I've been known to make super-heroes out of lab gloves, and I biked across North America two summers ago. My favourite piece of lab equipment is the vortex mixer; my goodness I could spend days playing with those things...

Frances Russell

3rd year Combined Honours in Computer Science and Biology

I started a combined honours degree after discovering computer science in my first year at UBC. Ever since, I have been exploring where the two subjects intersect in bioinformatics. I joined the iGEM team after hearing about it through my Co-op job at the Hallam Lab, and I hope to contribute to the modelling and wiki while also learning microbiology concepts and lab technique. In my spare time, I enjoy baking, cooking, camping, and knitting.

3rd year PhD Student in Genome Science and Technology

I'm a PhD student in the Genome Science and Technology graduate program at the University of British Columbia. I'm working in the Hansen group to develop methods in single-cell genomics by exploiting recent advances in microfluidics. When not stuck in a cleanroom, I can usually be found out in the mountains surrounding the Lower Mainland.
