Team Introduction

It is the best of times, it is the age of wisdom, it is the season of passion, it is the epoch of belief, , we had nothing before us, we are all going direct a new way--in short, the period was so. far mirror nothing of our past, that is us, our team, SEU_O_China, from nothing to everything.

Filled with creative ideas and dreams, we have been coming from all corners of our campus to form this team. With a relatively complex constitution of students from biomedical, mechanical, electrical, traffic Engineering and school of art, intelligence sparks from different angles of view and we have been striving for a same goal.

Team Members

Muyuan Chen is a senior undergraduate from Biomedical Engineering Academy. As a talent in biology, he showed up his great passion even in high school when he curiously dissected almost all kinds of plants he could found on campus. After he got into Southeast University,his proficiency in programming triggers his idea to program the actual biological life and this idea eventually leads him to this competition. Believe it or not, iGem has given him such a platform that he can engineer bacteria to grow without symmetry. When someone asked him what is the meaning of this design, he meditated and smiled,’ How can be judge the achievements of a person when he is only a baby?’

Xuelong Fan, as a senior undergraduate from Biomedical Engineering Academy, has already achieved stable knowledge in molecular biology as well as experiment skills after 3 years of learning and training. Fan contributed a lot to the advance of the Southeast University’s premiere in iGem competition. From academy support to school support, from nothing to massive amount of research funding, he has thrown his blood and sweat on every step advance. He is mainly responsible for light induction in this project.

Xiaodan Xu is a junior undergraduate from Traffic Academy. Her great interest in microbiology makes her, a ‘laywoman’, devote her heart and soul into this game. After a whole summer’s practice, she has grown from an insect to a creature in synthetic biology. No matter scheme design or experiment work, she showed her wisdom in almost every session and has made eternal mark during our whole progress. She is mainly responsible for RNAi in E.coli division control technology for flexible colony pattern.

Shen Gao is a senior undergraduate from Biomedical Engineering Academy. With his great passion in experiments, he cheered and hailed for the advance of this game. However, it was not long before he realized that the competition is more like research than a mere experiment and that research life is more like a butcher knife than Magic the Gathering. Even with perfect design,there still can be failure. It is, as he finally pointed out, more important to sometimes stop your step, meditate and smell the flowers rather than minipreping all day. He is mainly responsible for the construction of toggle switch to regulate gene expression.

Xingyu Zhou is a junior undergraduate from Academy. Of Information Science and Technology. Though a purely EE engineering student, he has been interested in molecular biology for many years. Zhou has been a creative student since he was in primary school and this even improves after entering university. With his brave imagination, he designed the special fiber-optic array used for light induction and he takes part in the design of the AHL system as well as blue light sensing pathway.

Zhengyang Jia is a senior undergraduate from Biomedical Engineering Academy. Initially coming to our team fun, however, he got improved interest in this competition after communication with other students. Although a late-comer in our team, he still found his special advantages. He has become an expert in plasmid-minipreping, in quality as well as quantity. Massive lab data is always astonishing for others rather than Jia because to him, it is just the lessoned learned from large numbers of experiments that are truly charming and meaningful.
