Our Team

Alec Spinhirne
Howdy y'all, I am a senior majoring in Biomedical Engineering
and I enjoy wearing cowboy boots 24/7 and my teammates have been
known to count the number of sighs I make. -sigh-
I <3 TEXAS.

Lana Khazma
I am a sophomore Molecular Biology major and I have definitely
learned a lot this summer on the iGEM team! Aside from a series of
sleepless nights, I have realized my true passions this summer:
tumblr, eating, sleeping, and pizza.

Matthew Lantz
I'm a "fun-guy". But really, I’m known around on the streets for my
legendary banana bread. Also I provide board games and cards as we’re
waiting for our PCR or ligation. Since I am a certified giant, I am assigned
the task of getting all the supplies for the shorter members.

Rashed Rihani
My major is biology. I like to break things. I have boundary issues.
I am slightly ADD. That is all.

Samantha Preisser
My hobbies include cats. I make a mean tuna casserole and I have introduced
cotton candy grapes to the team.

Elise Bullock
I also enjoy cats, especially my kitten Haley. Also, I am
excellent at speed (the card game). I am the resident genius
with the ability to solve any problem and to read any illegible
handwriting. After an exhausting and long day in lab, I like to
watch football and baseball- Go Rangers!

Tracy Truong
I’m a biochemistry sophomore. I am known for my complete awesomeness,
the grace of a gazelle, the speed of a cheetah, and the strength of a
really strong animal.

Janice Chuang
I’m a biology junior and I enjoy shopping, making sushi for the whole team,
and I am excellent at drawing puppies and teeth. Also, I am loved on the team
because I bring fresh muffins, donuts, and ice cream for those late nights in lab.

Martin Savard
My hobbies include rock climbing, watching movies, and playing
football. I am also Canadian and I love maple butter (whatever that is).
When in Canada, I plan on spending my time at the local Costco!
