Hi everyone! I am Priyanka Dadlani, an undergraduate at UC-Berkeley studying chemistry, earning my teaching credential, and having fun exploring computer science. My future interests include studying pharmacology and incorporating computational techniques into my research. In my free time, I enjoy running and hiking near scenic areas, such as Cayucos and Inspiration Point. Not to mention, I love trying out new restaurants and tapioca drinks.
David Dinh
Hello! My name is David Dinh. I am a recent graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School and headed to UC Davis this fall as an undergraduate. Currently, I am debating between either majoring in Biotechnology or Molecular Biology. Afterward, I want to earn a Masters degree and a PhD. My friends say that I can be very loud and that I am too nice for my own good. In my free time, I like to play tennis and computer games or hang out with my friends. I first got interested in science in the fifth grade when my teacher accidently “overcooked” a dragonfly in her car during a school field trip.
I am Ian Ergui, a University of Miami student and Howard Hughes Medical Institute undergraduate researcher. My research interests lie in the fields of synthetic biology, epigenetics and pharmacoepigenetics. As a research assistant at the Hussman institute of Human Genomics at UM, I conduct research on the effects of cocaine use on genomic methylation in the brain as well as bacterial engineering experiments. I am happy to have the opportunity to be part of the 2013 UCSF iGEM team. When not in lab, I enjoy training in Gracie Jiu Jitsu and boxing.
