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.
