ALL OF US!

NCTU_Formosa

Our Team consisted of 17students with diverse major in NCTU, including Department of Biological Science and Technology, Department of Transportation Technology and Management, Institute of Nanotechnology and Department of Applied Chemistry, each of us exerted our capacities to the team and learned new multifaceted abilities during iGEM Project. We are NCTU_FORMOSA iGEM team! WE CAN !

2015 Team Member

Hello everyone, I'm Yu-Yun Wang, majoring in applied chemistry. I'm glad that I have the chance to join the NCTU_Formosa iGEM team, making friends with lots of people full of enthusiasm for genetic engineering. Hope all of us can realize our dreams, and make a change to the world!

Hi, I'm Morris Hsu and I major in Nano Science and Engineering. I'm very glad to be part of the NCTU_Formosa big family. This year, I am representing the team to present on the big stage. I hope that we will all have fun in the process and be able to learn from it.

Hi, I'm Crystal and I major in biotechnology. Instead of most iGEMers are sophomore in the college, I'm a freshman. For this reason, I am extremely proud of being able to participate in this grand competition, and I'm look forward to sharing and exchanging our intriguing project to all iGEMers who bear lots of fascinating ideas.

Hi! I am Chen-Yu Chang and I major in Biotechnology. I am so excited because this is my first time participating international competition. Joining NCTU_Formosa imp- roves my experimental skills and gives me an opportunity to learn how to edit wiki pages. I also learned how to search paper for information to help solving problems.

Hello, I'm You-An Chen, majoring in Biotechnology and like to play volleyball. Because I want some different experience as a freshman, I joined the NCTU_Formosa team and I have learned a lot about IGEM. Besides, I also want to make some minded friends. Therefore, I'm looking forward to meet you !

Yo~ I'm Ray, a Nano Science and Engineering major in NCTU.The reason why I participates in NCTU Formosa iGEM team is that I love the feeling of working with friends which have the same belief with me and accomplishing the tasks together, eventually doing something good to the society. At first, I always doubt that if I am capable of being a part of this big competition.But now, I am convinced that I am ready for it!

Hi. I'm Ru-Hua Lin, a junior student in Nation Chiao Tung University, majoring in biological science and technology. Using amazing biological method to solve problems is my motivation to join iGEM family. During the process of developing the creative idea, I found that there are unlimited probability in the limited know- ledge. I am very glad to meet you, friends.

I'm Ming-Hsiu! I met iGEM on 'Scientific American' magazine when I'm a senior high school student. It is so cool and fun for me to create a live which can do anything we want just by inserting a gene! Fortunately, I joined the NCTU_Formosa iGEM team, being able to create our own project! I can't wait to share our project and listen your project in Boston! We are iGEMer, Let's enjoy the amazing field!

I'm Nai-Chen Chi A junior student in NCTU I'm an engineering student who knew little about bio tech at first But now I know more by doing research or experiment. Things that I could never learn if I haven't join igem team. What's more, I'm super proud of my team because my team is just like a family I love all of them and I enjoy doing everything with them even though sometimes it's so exhausted that I almost gave up I hope this memory could last forever and the friendship never end.

I am Amber and I'm a freshman now. I major in transportation and logistics ma- nagement. Because I have great teammates that taught me and helped me a lot so I can really learned a great lesson from this competition. I'm so proud of being a member of NCTU_FORMOSA and an igemer. I'm looking forward to showing our best in Boston!

HI everyone, I'm JING-JHIH, LIN, or you can call me Chinz. This is my first time participating such a large-scaled and international competition, hope all of us could take this chance to know more people, broaden our horizon, nice to meet you guys!

Hi~I am Fung Ling,the year 3 student of the Department of Biological Science and Technology in NCTU and the leader of NCTU_Formosa in 2015 ! Because of my great passion in biotech and enjoying the interesting and amazing in biology, I have taken the journey in iGEM and joined the team this year. The high and low with all my beloved team members in this year is the unforgettable memories for me and we sure will grow through this experiences~Let's enjoy! BOLEH (means ''We can!'' in Malay language)!

To figure out some questions in the recesses of my mind, I joined NCTU_ FORMOSA iGEM team for experiencing the sense of belonging and mutually Teamwork! I enjoy learning multifaceted abilities and finding my values to contribute the team during iGEM. I am Yang-Chen Lin!CAN'T WAIT TO MEET UP WITH ALL iGEMers in BOSTON !

My name is Ting-Han Guo, I major in biotechnology. After join iGEM I learn many things,team work,how to think, experime- nt,and so on. Hope we will arrive our goal

Hi, I'm Chih-Hsuan Hsu and I major in Biological Science and technology. I have a great passion for synthetic biology. I'm honored to be able to join the NCTU Formosa team this year and I believe this will definitely be an unforgettable experience in my life and learn a lot from this competition. It's my pleasure to make friends with people around the world. Thanks^^

Hey, I'm Anne Tai from Taichong, Taiwan and am entering the third year of a B.Sc Biotechnology at National Chiao Tung University. Before joining NCTU, I lived a greater part of my life in Southwestern Ontario and mainly interested in finances. Since majoring in the sciences, I developed a fascination towards synthetic biology and bioinformatics. This is mainly because I cannot stand the dissection of live animals. I am honoured to be a part of the only participating iGEM team from Hsinchu and am looking forward to accompanying NCTU_ Formosa on the international stage.
