THE OFFICIAL TEAM PROFILE CAN BE LEFT AS IS, BUT THE ATTRIBUTIONS PAGE NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT

The Undergrads

Alice Ye

Biological Sciences

Hailing from the plains of Illinois, Alice was nourished on a mix of public school and dystopian novels. Besides tinkering around with microorganisms, her hobbies include reading cookbooks and figuring out how to become Tony Stark.

Annie Zheng

Biological Sciences

Originally from Hong Kong, Annie spends her days doing Western blots. When not identifying proteins, Annie is passionate about microwaving food, not reading cookbooks, and selling dresses on marketplace.

Chloe Weisberg

Biological Sciences

Calling a Michigan suburb located in the first metacarpal bone home, Chloe enjoys spreading awareness of synthetic biology. When not teaching high school students, she enjoys the much more arduous endeavor of teaching her dog, Sheldon, to fetch.

Elina Kostyanovskaya

Biological Sciences, specialization in genetics

Born in Russia and blown over by a strong gust of frosty wind to the humid plains of Texas, Elina enjoys all facets of biology, but is particularly fascinated by epigenetics. When not working , Elina enjoys virgin pina coladas, getting lost in the rain, reading, and teaching health workshops in Chicago public schools.

Ethan Bass

Biological Sciences

Passionate about biology and Hawaiian shirts, my hobbies are lunch and curating the world's most spectacular Charlie Sheen website. Sadly, I will never fulfill my dream to help the gang and Scooby-Doo solve mysteries.

Ivan Lopez

Biological Sciences

I hail from a Chicago suburb. I like biology, clearly. I also enjoy booking (and canceling) cruises to the Caribbean. I was born to boogie.

Klevin Lo

Intended Biological Sciences

Driven by interests in social causes, entrepreneurial opportunities, and technological breakthroughs, Klevin sees iGEM as an excellent venue to combine all of these into one pursuit by engineering microbes with novel functions that can be marketed for use as viable eco-friendly alternatives to different industrial processes.

Kyle Engel

Chemistry and Statistics

Kyle was born and raised in Downers Grove, a suburb of Chicago. Kyle enjoys playing baseball, jamming on his guitar, and attending a wide range of musical concerts (anything from heavy metal to classical). He aspires to be an orthopedic surgeon

Nicole Lee

Major in Biological Sciences, minor in Statistics and Human Rights

Nicole was born in South Korea but raised in Minnesota's Twin Cities. She loves studying cancer and disease, big cities, rap, bicycles, rooftops, good food, and all things lime green.

Nora Vivanco Gonzalez

Biological Sciences

Nora decided to do iGEM because she wanted the chance to work on a project with her friends and meet new people who had similar academic interests. Outside of iGEM, Nora likes hip hop dancing and watching meteor showers.

Susan Doh

Biological Sciences

Born at the boundary of Theme Park, USA but raised in the quiet suburbs of Chicago, Susan grew up enamored of the endless possibilities of sci-fi and fantasy novels and the history of the ancient world. Now a fourth year at the University of Chicago studying Biology and Psychology, she continues her apprenticeship in science and medicine, while transfiguring E. coli and keeping her pet HEK293 cells happy.
