Where we're from

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.
