Meet our awesome team.

Meet our team

The team of Peking iGEM 2015, consisting of future scientists, doctors, an engineer, and an applied mathematician, has become a professional and passionate team over the past six months.

On this page, you can find the information about everybody who has contributed to the project. We would like to express our special gratitude to our instructors for their continuous support and encouragement. Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge our sponsors and all the others who provided valuable advices and essential materials to us. The following is our amazing team.

Members

ZHANGYihao-Peking

ZHANG Yihao

ZHANG Yihao, a former iGEMer of Peking 2013, is now leading the Peking iGEM team 2015. As an undergraduate from the College of Life Sciences, Yihao wants to devote all his passion and energy to the bio-entrepreneurship after his graduation next year. He participated in conceiving the project, took charge of troubleshooting, and managed the experiments, making sure that the whole lab works in the right direction.
Aye, aye, captain!

WEIWeijia-Peking

WEI Weijia

WEI Weijia is an undergraduate from Wuhan University, majoring in life sciences and biotechnology.
Early in the project, he was responsible for information gathering, experiment design, and lab management; then he joint the group of PC reporter and exhibited excellent executive power.

LIHang-Peking

LI Hang

LI Hang is an undergraduate from School of Physics, Peking University.
He is responsible for designing and manufacturing two kinds of devices, which are for detection of analogue electrical signal and optical signal.
Enthusiastic about technology, he has a strong belief that developments in technology can change our life and make our life better and better. He often plays the computer game FSX (Microsoft Flight Simulator) on PC. He likes flying very much. The most exciting thing for him is to land a plane on the runway smoothly.

CHENGSida-Peking

CHENG Sida

CHENG Sida, is a junior from Peking University, majoring in Clinical Medicine.
He is in charge of Human Practice along with YE Yixuan and LIU Dongming and also works in the wet lab to construct and prepares variable plasmids. He enjoys the wonderful moment fighting for the same goal with those lovely fellows in the synthetic life world. Besides working in the lab, he enjoys cycling, photographing and studying historical geography.
As Hsi Muren said “What I can leave on the earth is only their view of my back since I have been marching toward the horizontal.”
iGEMer! Go! Go! Go!

LIJiaofeng-Peking

LI Jiaofeng

LI Jiaofeng is a junior in Peking University, majoring in Chemistry. She believes life is amazing, that’s why she took part in the competition.
Besides working as the financial manager of the team, she is also responsible for designing some primers for cloning as well as the construction of the plasmids. She really likes listening to music and thinks deeply about it.
Her favourite quote was from Romain Rolland:"There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is and to love it."

LIXiang-Peking

LI Xiang

LI Xiang is a junior majoring in College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering. He is also interested in mathematics and life science.
He decided to take part in iGEM with his great interest in system and synthetic biology. He is in charge of constructing another kind of Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensing system, including cloning plasmids and purifying proteins.
During this period, he improved his experimental skills in molecular biology, acquired much knowledge of system and synthetic biology, and got lots of fun with it.

LINPingping-Peking

LIN Pingping

LIN Pingping is majoring in clinical medicine.
Early in the project she undertook the task of molecular cloning and works in wet lab, while later she was in charge of testing the luminescence intensity of split firefly luciferase fused with CRISPR system together with WANG Beining, another member from the team. She also processes the experimental data.
She extremely appreciated iGEM which gave her the chance to master lots of skills and to make friends with those who are all interested in synthetic biology.

LIUDongming-Peking

LIU Dongming

LIU Dongming is an eight-academic year student of clinical speciality in Peking University. Unfortunately, he is just in his third year, remains a long time to be a surgeon.
He helps to accomplish the plasmid construction of the detecting target, and is responsible for human practice. As our project aims to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis, his medical background provides a clinical point of view for the diagnostic method.
He loves Chinese calligraphy and is very interested in classical Chinese literature. The whole team is worried about 'his patients' in the future, since he's easily excited about any of the funny things around him.

LIUWenchao-Peking

LIU Wenchao

LIU Wenchao is a junior at Peking University, majoring in Life Science.
She is in charge of molecular cloning of CRISPR gRNA as well as RNA scaffold together with XU Luze at the very beginning. Lately she is working on protein purification of dCas9 fusion protein with WANG Yu and LI Xiang.
She enjoys ignoring the boundary of different subjects and considering science as a whole. She always dreams of understanding life and consciousness with mathematics or physics approaches. She has been working in several labs, including IMCAS where leaves her fantastic memories (except the irregular takeouts!).

WANGBeining-Peking

WANG Beining

WANG Beining is a junior from the school of Basic Medical Sciences. Although majoring in clinical medicine, her ultimate aim is to be a research-based doctor.
During the iGEM period, she firstly undertook the task of cloning for the dCas9-luciferase part, then in the summer time is responsible for the characterization of CRISPR-Luciferase system with LIN Pingping (Golden Pair are they two for the tests!).
She also loves music, movies and whodunits veeeeeeeeeery much! Pursuing freedom & truth and believing in optimism, she is on her way ever.

WANGYu-Peking

WANG Yu

WANG Yu is a junior in pharmaceutical sciences.
Participating in plasmid construction, protein purification, and wiki designing and building, she likes to describe the iGEM as a communicable disease with the syndrome of over-passionate and Circadian Rhythm Disorders.


XULuze-Peking

XU Luze

XU Luze is a junior from Peking University, majoring in Mathematics.
His main work is programmed to search for the suitable guide sequences. However, early on in the project he undertook the task of constructing the nucleic acid detection system and the target plasmids with LIU Wenchao. Though he made some mistakes, he got the fundamental skills in molecular biological techniques gradually during the cooperation.
He has spent most of his time on dry lab since July, but he still took an active part in the wet lab, for his illusion to be the winner of the FTBC (filling tip box competition).

YEYixuan-Peking

YE Yixuan

YE Yixuan is a senior in Peking University majoring in Public Health. She is also fascinated by Physics which is her second major.
And now she is responsible for human practice and part of the construction of the mathematical model. Reading is what she loves most.


ZHANGXiaohan-Peking

ZHANG Xiaohan

ZHANG Xiaohan, Jessica, is a junior from School of Basic Medical Sciences with a double major in economics.
She is in charge of Conference of China iGEMer’s Committee and also helps in team designing and human practice.
Understanding human behaviour, both in its metabolism and from macroscopic view, attracts her so much.
