Jacob Toth is a third year honours biochemistry student at the University of British Columbia. This is his second year in iGEM, and this year he has been focusing on generating and testing constructs, modeling (particularly the wet-lab side of things), and has found himself working with a kill switch project on the side. His other interests include philosophy, botany, and music. He also enjoys Shakespearean prose.}}

|bio=Majoring in Integrated Sciences, I am currently a third-year student.  My integration is between synthetic biology and human biology, so joining the UBC team happened naturally.  In fact, my choice of specialization can be attributed to iGEM.  As a competition that emphasizes innovation and exploration, iGEM was really what pulled me towards this area of research.  This fascination with synthetic biology stems from both the exciting possibilities it offers and the creativity it demands.

|bio= I am currently a second-year Pharmacology student interested in gaining insight into research in general. My interests include baking cookies (and eating them), singing along to the radio, and admiring luxury vehicles. Synthetic biology offers an opportunity to creatively solve complex issues, and iGEM is entirely unique in that it fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between students and faculty, and between top-notch schools. This chance to work with people of diverse backgrounds and participate in research in this novel field made iGEM a priority for me. I have contributed to the wet lab portion of our project, more specifically to creating new biobricks via standard assembly. I am working on the site-directed mutagenesis of the DszC gene to remove the two illegal PstI sites before submission to the Registry.

Prepare to be amazed. In his spare time Mehul is also doing a major in microbiology and immunology and is helping with the wet lab part for the UBC iGEM team. His contributions to iGem includes the construction of the tunable consortia consisting of amino acid auxotrophs, transformed with complementing amino acid genes. He enjoys recreational activities, Lord of the rings and loves the thrill of re-registering for his drivers exam every time he fails. Also, he hates talking about himself in the third person.

It's been really fun watching UBC iGEM team members dive into their projects with so much energy and effort and get to attend the iGEM competitions.

British Columbia - 2012.igem.org


The UBC iGEM Team
 We are a team of 9 undergraduate team members, 4 graduate student advisors and 2 faculty advisors.

Undergraduate Team Members

Jacob Toth To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Rui Chen Xue I majored in Chemical and Biological Engineering. For this iGEM project, my focuses are Modelling and Modelling related wet lab activities. Personally I am very interested in '''Clean Energy''' and''' Pharmaceutical Process''', especially '''Bioenergy''' field. These are the areas that I want to devote my career in. Being a member of UBC 2012 team, I received tons of knowledge about bacterial engineering, and really enjoyed working with people of diverse backgrounds. Constant interdisciplinary collaboration and creative problem solving skill requirements made iGEM a valuable experience for everyone. I am really appreciative to this opportunity. For more information about me, please click the link [[User:Ruichen|Ruichen]] to go to my personal profile. Thanks for reading :)
