Who we are
Hello IGEM

About the Team
| File:Alberta Team.jpg |
| This year our iGEM team consists of four undergraduate students, as well as four high school students who will be joining our team later in the summer. We are being advised by two professors and a PhD student. It will be an interesting year for our team as only three of the eight team members have a background in biological sciences. Through being a smaller team however, we are all able to get lots of experience both in lab and office duties. We are looking forward to having a great time representing the University of Alberta this fall in the coming regional and hopefully championship jamborees. |
Full Time Student
 | Hi. My name is Tom Patrick, and I am on the University of Alberta iGEM team this year. I just finished my first year studying engineering, and I am going to specialize in environmental engineering. Synthetic biology is a field I find very interesting, and I am excited to be participating in this competition. All the laboratory skills I am applying I have been learning ‘on the job’, and have discovered I do not have good synergy with our lab’s PCR machine. For that reason, I have started point putting denigrating stickers on it and calling it hurtful names behind its back. My hobbies include skiing, listening to music, watching movies, and playing cards. |
| Easwar Vasi | |
 | I am entering my third year of Immunology and Infection in the department of IMIN at the University of Alberta. Although, I have previous experience in labs (research and course), iGEM is going to be a new and exciting experience for me. As this is my first year in iGEM, I hope to apply the skills I learned from hands-on experience in labs and the knowledge gained in lectures. What truly makes me excited about iGEM is the independence and cooperation. The goal of the project, the methods undertaken to accomplish it, and the success and inevitable failures of the experiments rests entirely upon us (the team). I hope to increase the rate of success by working hard in the lab. Outside of the lab, I like to read science fiction books, play video games, and attempt to live a healthy lifestyle by playing badminton. |

PhD Student Supervisor
| Ryan Mercer | |
 | I am a PhD candidate from the Department of Biology at Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland. I have recently relocated to Edmonton where I am finishing writing my PhD thesis and assisting with supervising the University of Alberta 2012 iGEM team part time. I have a strong background in molecular microbiology and hope to share my knowledge and experience with this year’s team as they use recombinant DNA cloning to complete their project. Outside the lab, I have interests in general science, fitness and sports. |
