This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have all of the pages listed in the menu below with the names specified. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your teams namespace.


You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Who we are

Please note that these bios are simply first drafts!


Advisors:

  • Advisor 1: Mentor for all
  • Advisor 2: Our favorite
  • Grad Student 1: Our leader


Undergrads:

  • Nirmal Desai:

Nirmal is junior double majoring in Biology and Economics at Northwestern University. Prior to iGEM,... <p>

  • Samson Fong:
<p> Samson is a junior studying chemical engineering, minoring in biotechnology and biochemistry. He is still undecided about his future career, ranging anywhere from engineering to research to medical school (or a combination of the three). In addition to iGEM, he has worked in Professor Schatz’s lab working to model DNA bending around nucleosomes. Samson also enjoys playing piano and clarinet for fun. Occasionally, one can find him taking pictures of mundane objects, trying to pass it off as art.

  • Viral Patel:

Viral Patel is a senior studying environmental engineering. Her hometown is Elmhurst, Illinois. She enjoys running, eating cheese ravioli, watching terrible movies on Syfy and painting her nails. Her special skills include playing the clarinet and wiggling her ears.

  • Kevin Romero:

Kevin is a junior double majoring in Chemistry and Mathematics at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon. He is originally from Reno, Nevada. Prior to iGEM, Kevin gained research experience at Linfield doing theoretical physical chemistry using quantum mechanical mathematical modeling under Professor Jim Diamond. He has given talks and poster presentations at numerous conferences, including the 2013 American Chemical Society National Meeting in New Orleans. He was brought onboard to the iGEM team through the REU program in the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at Northwestern. He has used his modeling experience to help with the group’s modeling component of the iGEM competition while also working extensively on the group’s presentation.He learned a number of biological lab techniques this summer in order to assist with the project. In his free time he enjoys watching and playing sports, being active outdoors, and eating and sleeping as much as any other red-blooded American male. Never forget.

  • Brendan Tran:

He's too stubborn to write a bio right now...

  • Simon Yang:

Simon is a senior majoring in biomedical engineering at Northwestern University.
