       <p>Hi, I&rsquo;m Karin, a year 2 student in CUHK, and I come from Nanjing in mainland China. It may be strange that as I am from Engineering Faculty, I enjoy all the wet lab work in iGEM, and love the experience of learning new knowledge of Synthetic Biology, which I had totally no idea before. I will never forget the crazy feeling of stepping out of lab at midnight, looking up at the stars and hoping they were clones in the agar plate… Joining igem is a great process of enjoying consistent failure and learning how to stick to the will. I really treasure this summer with all the unexpected encounters in igem, the failures give me strength, and the gains make me grateful.</p></td>

Hello everyone, I’m Angus Choi, a second year student studying Biochemistry.  I love to sing (and I do sing a lot), play soccer and do street photography, though they have nothing to do with research directly, but they are my good ways to spend on when I have free time.
To me, iGEM offers a great opportunity to me for learning different things like seeking sponsorships, learning lab skills and cooperating with people. I hope that our team can come up with great success this year.  Good luck!

iGEM is the most large-scale and best competition that I have ever participated in. It gives me much freedom to do research-like study in undergraduate level and a chance to glimpse into scientific research.  I am glad that I have tried many wet-lab technique as well as other useful skills even though I was quite frustrated when I have no idea of what to do next, and bored when I repeat the same procedures again and again. I am so regretful that I did not pay attention to the lectures in the past year and I have to revise the notes before starting my project!

 

Val

Full Name: Vallery Mortel Fabilla
Programme of Study: Biochemistry
Contributions: Secretary, Human Practices, Supportive Lab Work

Hi, I'm Vallery, a Filipino native raised in Hong Kong with an affinity for science and hands-on laboratory work. I am an avid reader, guitarist and squash player during my leisure time. A passionate and willing team player who contributes her efforts to the best of her capabilities.Through iGEM I have explored and experienced my field of study outside of textbooks and realized the potential benefits of Synthetic Biology. It has been an honour to join this year's iGEM Competition. With it brought challenges, knowledge and friendship.

 

Jennifer

Full Name: Yau Wing Ki
Programme of Study: Biochemistry

Contributions: Financial Secretary, Fundraising, Supportive Lab Work, Human Practices

Hello. I’m Jennifer, studying Biochemistry. Love life! Love thinking! The process of analysing and figuring out the mechanism of different biological processes are fanscinating to me. What's more is that we can make use of our own knowledge to make some difference of our world. That comes to the reason for me to love science join the iGEM. I enjoy the time spending in the lab in this summer with all my teammates. That's unique and unforgettable. Last but not the least, all the best for our team and I look forward meeting every one of you, who share same interest with us, in the coming Jamboree.

 

Ken

Full name: Ho Ka Him
Programme of study: Medicine

Contributions: Supportive Lab Work

Hi there! I will be a year one student of Medicine of CUHK. For me, IGEM is not just a competition, it is a valuable chance to train up one's perservence and to meet other undergraduates of various backgrounds to strive for the same goal. To use one word to describe IGEM, probably it would be "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".

 

Leonardo

Full name: Jian Guang Hao
Programme of study: Biochemistry
Contributions: Focus on Lab Work, Human Practice

I am a year 2 Franklinstein who loves problem solving and exciting stuffs. Other than boring lab work, I love travelling and all-kinds of sports too. The greatest experience in iGEM is to experience the life of being a scientist, which is consistent failure. Though we considered closing files a dozen times, there are always small hopes to urge us to continue. And then, we fail again. This looped process surprisingly made me to grow to a more responsible and mature person who can resist failure. On the other hand, iGEM is a great place to work with other Franklinsteins for half a year and we indeed made some fire.

 

Pearl

Full Name: Pearl Tu
Programme of Study: Food and Nutritional Science
Contributions: Wet Lab, Human Practice Leader

Hello, my name is Pearl, and I am from Taiwan. I am a full-time student majoring in Food and Nutritional Science at CUHK. After staying in the lab for most of this summer, I am sure that iGEM definitely help me to master some laboratory skills. And personally, it gave me the chance to stay abroad for the entire summer when I have sufficient time to travel Hong Kong and know about its culture. Also because of iGEM, I am able to make some local friends and earn the experience of working with people of different backgrounds. Thinking of how iGEM has fully occupied my summer and turned it unconventional, I am glad to be part of this competition. 

 

Tabitha

Full Name: Ngan Tsoi Ling

Contribution: Wet Lab and Human Practice

Hey! I am Tabitha, for short, you can call me Tabi. Beside the lab work, I love playing piano and I enjoy singing very much. I have a lot of hobbies, such as painting, dancing. I love Biochemistry and I really enjoy the lab work as I think it is very exciting when you witness the result and it is a huge achievement for me.
