<b>Chris Clifford</b>  

<b>Chris Clifford</b>  

is a senior biochemistry major at the University of Nevada Reno. His future plans include graduating in the spring of 2013 and attending medical school. Chris is on the thiamine binding protein team where he works with his lab partner Jeremiah Pavelka to produce a thiamine-binding protein attached to a starch binding-protein to bind to rice. His other interests include, playing for the UNR Orchestra, staying physically active, and participating in clubs and organizations at UNR.</div>

<b>Jasmine Jiang</b>  

is a junior at the University of Nevada double majoring in biochemistry and philosophy who hopes to one day get a Ph.D. (or two) and actually get paid for doing cool research projects like iGEM. In addition to her work on the RFP portion of the project, Jasmine has been working very hard on everything design-related, such as the website, posters, and T-shirts. Jasmine is also a proud corgi owner, a horror movie enthusiast, and a pretty good cook if she says so herself.</div>

<b>Michelle Ngo</b>  

<b>Michelle Ngo</b>  

is a senior at the University of Nevada, Reno majoring in Biochemistry and Nutrition hoping to pursue a career in Pharmacy one day. She is a happy biochemist who loves the beach, music, palm trees, snowflakes, and big urban cities. Michelle loves educated discussions and hanging out with the plasmids, genes, and microbes. Her ultimate goal for this project is to bind lysine-rich protein to starch-binding protein in rice to form an iRICE complex with her team. Michelle loves eating rice and can't wait to try iRICE! Mmm!</div>
