Ruichen Xue Profile.jpg
  • I majored in Chemical and Biological Engineering. For this iGEM project, I mainly focused on Modelling and Modelling related wet lab activities.
  • Personally I am very interested in Clean Energy and Pharmaceutical Process, especially Bioenergy field. These are the areas that I want to devote my career in.
  • Through this project, I was able to obtain tons of knowledge about bacterial engineering, and I am really appreciative to being a member of iGEM and the experience I obtained so far.

Majoring in Integrated Sciences, I am three years into my bachelor's degree program. My integration is between synthetic biology and human biology, so joining the UBC team happened naturally. In fact, my choice of specialization can be attributed to iGEM. As a competition that emphasizes innovation and exploration, iGEM was really what pulled me towards this area of research. This fascination with synthetic biology stems from both the exciting possibilities it offers and the creativity it demands.

I'm a PhD student in the Genome Science and Technology graduate program at the University of British Columbia. I'm working to develop methods in single-cell genomics by exploiting recent advances in microfluidics. When not stuck in a cleanroom, I can usually be found out in the mountains surrounding the Lower Mainland.

I'm one of the graduate advisors for the 2012 UBC iGEM team. My focus in the team is to provide wet lab assistance and troubleshooting to the members, as well as supply the odd reagent that my lab always tends to have. When I'm not helping out the iGEM team, I'm conducting research in bacterial photosynthesis. Specifically, I investigate structure and function relationships in bacterial reaction center proteins from Rhodobacter sphaeroides using a mutagenic approach. When I graduate, I hope to pursue careers in synthetic biology and photosynthesis. Please see my Openwetware profile for more information.
