From 2012.igem.org
Robert Chen is a 3rd year Bioengineering student. He enjoys running, cooking, teaching science to elementary school students, and not sleeping. He worked on the MiCode construction and registry promoter characterization components of the project.
Celia Cheung is a 2nd year Bioengineering student. She enjoys playing violin in the Berkeley orchestra and is hoping for a career in medicine. She worked on the wetlab portion of the project and also did image acquisition.
Thomas Chow is a 3rd year Bioengineering student looking to a future in bioinformatics. He was involved in the computational side of the project, writing Cell Profiler pipelines to recognize organelles and run the library check.
Austin Jones is a 4th year Molecular Cell Biology and Environmental Science student. He is interested in synthetic biology. He worked on the wetlab side of the project, developing the cellular periphery signal sequence, testing inital leucine zippers, and producing the parts we sent to the registry.
Harneet Rishi is a 4th year Chemical Engineering student who loves basketball. He was involved in the computational side of the project, writing Matlab scripts for cell separation.
Masaki Yamada is a 4th year Chemical Engineering student. In addition to being an Illustrator BEAST, he worked on fluorescence localization and Micode construction.
Vincent Yeh is a 4th year Chemical Engineering student who loves basketball. He worked on the leucine zipper cloning and assays, producing many of the pretty pictures on this site.
Will is the person that Terry and John have stuck with all of the heavy lifting. In fairness, he's younger and can plausibly survive it.
Terry has a master's degree in chemical engineering from MIT and is currently teaching bioengineering at UC Berkeley. He hopes that by doing so, he will be giving students the tools that they will need to repair him when he gets older.
An Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at UC Berkeley and a principle investigator of the Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center, John is our fearless leader.
