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.

What we did
The University of Chicago iGEM team was responsible for conducting all of the laboratory experiments involved in the project.
The University of Chicago Biological Sciences Department provided laboratory space and equipment for the iGEM team to conduct its experiments and hold meetings.
Our graduate student advisors provided research experience and advice for the team to troubleshoot experiments as well as the strain of B. subtilis with pUB110, which we used for our experiments.
Our faculty advisors also provided advice on how to go forward with our project and evaluated the feasibility of our project.
Greiner Bio-One, New England Bio Labs, and SARSTEDT provided laboratory equipment and reagents for the iGEM team to conduct its experiments.
The University of Chicago Institute for Molecular Engineering, Student Government, and Dean's Fund provided the team with funds needed to participate in the competition and operate the lab.

- 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.
