Sun Fei (Sara)

My name is Sun Fei but many of my colleagues usually refer to me as Sara. I am currently a year 2 Biology student. For me, iGEM is just like a canvas for painter. It is a place where great ideas can be sketched on and further colorized. It is the place where beauty of accident and finding come together. It is the place where I can use my hands to create my world.

Sean Carim

Life fascinates me. So as an opportunity to do work related to controlling and engineering life, iGEM was too strong a temptation to resist. I feel fortunate to be working alongside a group of dedicated students who share my interests. As a soon-to-be year 2 Biology Major I consider the technical aspects of iGEM as a refreshing chance to observe science and engineering operating in parallel. I also appreciate it as a rigorous team activity allowing us to improve our understanding both on what it is to be human as well as the dynamics of the bacteria we manipulate. Over the past months I have joined my sub-group members in building our cell wall expression construct and have conducted interviews in accordance with our human practices plans.

Chan Yak Nok (Cola)

My name is Chan Yat Nok Cola, a year 2 student who is majoring in Biochemistry. For me, synthetic biology is an amazing field full of possibilities, mysteries and creativities. It always gives us lots of surprises and inspirations and not to mention the sense of achievement. Thanks to iGEM for providing a chance to work along with group of people who have one goal, and as a platform to learn with pain and fun. iGEM is really “beautiful” in nature.

Ka Chun Mok

I am Ka Chun Mok, a year one student studying Molecular Biomedical Sciences in HKUST along with my iGem teammate. In retrospect, I am attracted by the fancy world of biology when I was a high school student. During that time, Dori were made; GM food research was standing in the front line of the scientific field. I was inspired by the magic of synthetic biology that can make many new strains of organisms, which are beneficial for the whole community. After I joined HKUST, I finally have the chance to taste the beauty of synthetic biology by joining iGEM competition. Frankly, doing iGEM is not just being a part of a competition but enjoying the process of doing synthetic biology. Thanks to that, I am glad to be involved in such a meaningful activity.

SHI Tianxing

I am SHI Tianxing, a year 1 Biology student in HKUST. I have always been looking forward to understand more about life science, especially with a group of biology lovers. That’s why I am here in iGEM team to help carry out the whole project. Our sub-group has been working on the recognition and binding of B. subtilis to colon cancer cells throughout the months, and I have been deeply involved in the building of our sub-group’s constructs from day one. I appreciate that iGEM provides us, science beginners, a great opportunity to explore the world of genetic engineering and to share our experience with our friends, family, and other members of society all over the world.

Carson Lam

Lai Ka On (Sapphire)

Yu Lai Cheong

I am Yu Lai Cheong. My major is Molecular Biomedical Sciences. I am a year 2 student. Thanks ta iGEM, it gave me the opportunity to organize things, do research and deal with problem.

Chelsilia Tanzil

My name is Chelsi, currently in my second year in HKUST studying Biochemistry. Joining iGEM as a freshman has given me lots of experiences and knowledge, which I will not be able to get in any class. Throughout the summer I worked with Protein Synthesis group to work on constructs which can secrete BMP-2, helped with characterization of pTms and responsible for the completion of 2012 HKUST iGEM Poster.

Christopher Lee

I am Christopher Lee. I study Molecular Biomedical Science, and currently a year 2 student. I would like to join IGEM because it is a golden opportunity for me to decide which experiments to conduct on which particular purpose. It helps me to think carefully and to learn how to convince others with the results obtained. How to think is much more important than how to do. It is easy to know how to do since there are lots of protocols. But iGEM provides me an opportunity to learn how to think and how to design the experiments so that the results of our experiments can convince others. That is a critical skill for all scientists. Mainly I am responsible to protein characterization.

Ilona Christy Unarta

I am a future Chemist, who is currently a year 2 Undergraduate Student. Joining iGEM team does not only teach me about what synthetic biology is, but also how powerful synthetic biology can be. Through iGEM, I learnt that synthetic biology could be used in many different ways to solve a lot of world problems, just like our project, which focuses on targeted colon cancer drug. In the HKUST iGEM team, I worked along with protein synthesis group’s member to construct the plasmid consisting of signaling peptide of B. subtilis and BMP-2 (anti-tumor chemokine) gene. I am also helping in the poster design team.

Li Yiming

My name is LI, Yiming. I am currently a second year Biochemistry student. I wish to earn the experience in lab work and enjoy the teamwork when doing iGEM. In this project, I collaborated with my teammates to synthesize and secrete out the protein (BMP-2) from B. subtilis. Although we came across many unexpected problems, we carried on together. We felt no regret about spending all our efforts in lab, which will be the most wonderful memories in our life.

Wang Yuqi

I am WANG Yuqi but in English speaking community like HKUST, they usually call me Cosmos. As a freshman of biochemistry in the university, I have to swallow a bunch of new information this summer. However, iGEM is about teamwork, and the whole HKUST iGEM team creates a cheerful atmosphere. It allows me along with other members to learn, grow and shine together.
