Team Members

Sam Keating

I have been on the UMBC iGEM team for two years and was co-president for one year. I am a senior biochemical engineer and I plan on going to graduate school next year. I help with a lot of the planning inside and outside of the lab and make sure that we have adequate resources and plans for our project. I helped to train new members at the beginning of the year. I also looked a lot at the gene sequences of our genes of interest and updated our entries on the wiki and the registry pages.

Mukta Bain

I am a senior at UMBC. My major is general biology BA. After BA I want to get my master in public health. I have previously worked in the lab for classes. My contribution to the team was helping with the wet lab and working side by side with other team members.

Pari Majethia

My major is Biology B.S. and I am a senior at UMBC. I had a great experience working on the iGEM project and learning about the effects of copper on the E.coli cells. I helped conduct the experiments

May Li

I am a senior Biochemistry major and will be pursuing a medical degree after graduation. My previous research experience is in the realm of computational biochemistry research and organic chemistry research. I am grateful to experience the biological aspect of research through iGEM, and have been involved in running/designing experiments, as well as other organizational tasks. I love being in lab with other iGEM members over the summer and am very proud of the work we've done.

Natithorn Bhusri

I am a senior at UMBC and my major is Biochemistry. As secretary of iGEM, I planned meetings and wet lab dates for our project. I also aided in updating our notebook and attributions on the wiki pages. I helped conduct the optical density(growth) experiments and processed the data as graphs. I plan to attend graduate school next year and further my studies in Toxicology.

John "Richard" Jayman

I am a senior biology major with aspirations of medical school. My lab experience involves testing novel molecular therapies for prostate cancer on a mouse model. In the iGEM arena, I am working with the UMBC team to take copper measurements and to prepare overnights for our engineered bacteria.
