Robert "GG" Chen is a 3rd year Bioengineering student. He enjoys running, cooking, creating cool science lessons, and not sleeping. He is an officer of Berkeley Engineers and Mentors, a science outreach organization. Robert worked on the promoter optimization, MiCode construction, and registry promoter characterization components of the project.
Celia "Klepto" Cheung is a 2nd year Bioengineering student. When not in lab, she can be found at rehearsal for Berkeley's orchestra where she plays the violin. She participates in Berkeley's Biomedical Engineering Society, where she is an officer. Celia worked on the wetlab portion of the project and also did image acquisition.
Thomas "Nucleus" Chow is a 3rd year Bioengineering student looking to a future in bioinformatics. He is the Treasurer of the Bioengineering Honor Society, which he has been a member of for three years. Thomas was primarily involved in the computational side of the project, writing Cell Profiler pipelines to recognize organelles and run the library check. He also created the actin-localization protein we used.
Austin "Reezy!" Jones is a 4th year Molecular Cell Biology and Environmental Science student. In his free time, he ____________. Austinworked on the wetlab side of the project, developing the cellular periphery signal sequence, testing the inital batch of leucine zippers, and producing the parts we sent to the registry.
Harneet "Baller" Rishi is a 4th year Chemical Engineering student who loves basketball. He is an officer of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society. Harneet was involved in the computational side of the project, where he wrote our Matlab scripts for cell separation.
Masaki "Illustrator" Yamada is a 4th year Chemical Engineering student. In addition to his studies, hecompeted in Berkeley's fencing team for __ years. Masaki 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 assay, 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.
