A bit about us

Hi! We are third and fourth year students from Biotechnology and Food engineering faculty in Technion - Israeli Technological Institute.

We are very excited to be the first Israeli iGEM team. Though we are newbies in iGEM competition, we hope to represent our country with honor and probably grab a medal or two... (Hmm, no pressure at all (-: )

You are welcome to contact us at any time via our group email: igem.technion@gmail.com or browse our site: Team Technion

Sharon Levi-Tal is currently the manager of the Laboratory of Chemistry of Foods and Bioactives in the Dept. of Biotechnology & Food Engineering at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.

She obtained her B.Sc. in Life Sciences from the Ben Gurion University (Beer-Sheva, Israel) in 2004. She joined the Technion in 2005 and completed her PhD on the morphological characterization and structure–function relationship of different biological colloids in 2011.

Our Team - The looks and the brains

Ilya Vainberg Slutskin

I am a fourth (and final) year student in the Faculty of Biotechnology & Food Engineering in the Technion university. I first heard about synthetic biology during my third year studies as part of a lecture in a molecular biotechnology course. Since then, I was hooked. I am thrilled to learn more about the subject and to gain valuable experience in the field. Although I don't have previous experience in research I hope to be a valuable member of the team. I hope to contribute as much as possible to both the wet and dry lab as well as to the administrative department of the project.

On my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife, creating digital art using both 2d and 3d tools and watching TV series.

Evgeni Bolotin

Hi folks! I'm a fourth year student in the Faculty of Biotechnology & Food Engineering in the Technion university. Like Ilya I've heard about synthetic biology as part of a lecture in a molecular biotechnology course. I was thrilled about the possibilities that synthetic biology openes before researches and when I had a chance to participate in such a research myself as a part of iGEM experience, I said "yes" without hesitation.

By participating in iGEM competition I see a chance to gain valuable experience in the field that can help me a lot during my M. Sc. studies in the future. Though I don't have much experience in research, I hope to help our team as much as I can and become valuable team member.

On my spare time I like read books, watch movies and play video games. Also I like to go hiking when I have enough spare time.

Hila Korach Rechtman

I am a senior in the Faculty of Biotechnology & Food Engineering in the Technion.

My first acquaintance with synthetic biology was during an introduction lecture in molecular biotechnology course, when it seemed a bit like science fiction. My biggest expectation from the iGEM project is to learn how this science fiction can be put in action. Also, the execution of a research project from start to end is exciting me, and I hope to get as much experience from it as I can.

Outside iGEM I enjoy playing the flout at the Technion symphonic orchestra. I am the chairman of the faculty student board and a member in the board of directors of the Technion student association. Also I love to go on hiking trips with my husband, family and friends.

Inbal Vaknin
Noa Katz
Lior Levy

I just had finished my third year in the Faculty of Biotechnology & Food Engineering in the Technion.

I first heard about synthetic biology when I’ve heard about the IGEM competition. The connection between biology and programming intrigues me and there was no doubt that this new field is something that I would like to learn more about and experience with.

In my free time I work as a PhD student assistant in the field of tissue engineering at the faculty. Moreover one of my hobbies is to dub cartoons and to narrate almost everything I hear.

Shahar Chen
Asaf Blumental

I am a third student at the faculty of Biotechnology and Food engineering at the Technion. I had been interested in biology and also in computers since high school. I see synthetic biology as a field that combines both, so it was very appealing to me.

I believe that participation in iGEM project can give me a lot of experience and knowledge in an interesting new field of synthetic biology.

Apart from my studies, I enjoy reading everything I can put my hands of, listening to good music and watching movies.
