DOGE MUCH WOW

Meet Our Team!

Benjamin Hsu !!!

Full-time lab rat and financial officer, he enjoys running Western Blots in the dark of the night. Currently a 2nd year majoring in Biological Sciences with minors in Molecular Engineering and Visual Arts, he hopes to one day start an “innovative”, “consumer based” “biotech “startup” that will “disrupt” the status quo. Outside of class he is an avid marathon runner and skier.

Mansi Chandra !!!

Full-time worker and team secretary. Joined iGEM to realize my dream of constructing a Jurassic Park, dare I say Jurassic World. I believe the future of genetic engineering lies in recreating a world in which majestic dinosaurs roam free. This is why I trained my skills over the summer as jack of all trades from pouring plates, designing primers, running with gels, and making best friends with western blots. 2nd year undergrad, pre(historic)-med, double major in biology and future Alan Grant. Badminton, and watching Bollywood films is what I do when I’m not in lab or envisioning a giant lizard-like future.

Kevin Yang !!!

Rising 3rd year planning to major in Biology and possibly Biochemistry. He has been involved with the UChicago iGEM team since his first year of college, as a part-time member working directly in the lab last summer and as a senior advisor to the team this summer, mainly helping with experimental design, project planning, and general logistics. As much work as iGEM can be some times, he really does enjoy the unparalleled intellectual independence and freedom that it allows for. The UChicago project this year is ironic for him due to his own kind of irregular circadian rhythms- just try searching "UChicago all nighter" on Google Images. His hometown is Folsom, California, his favorite food is sashimi, and his hobbies are sleeping (naturally) and playing the piano.
