Bioengineering, Final Year<br>

Bioengineering, Final Year
Have been studying engineering for 3 years and joined a lab in neuroengineering for 1.5 years, I decided to join iGEM to explore the field of genetics, which is one of the two fields in Biology I love most (another one is neural science and engineering). Even though I don’t have much prior experience and knowledge about genetics (so as many of my team mates), I believe I can pick up the theory and skills quickly because I am a learn-by-doing person. I believe my previous research experience, proficient in Excel and Matlab, mathematics sense, logical thinking and engineering mindset enable me to contribute to the team.

I am a final year bioengineering student. After studying engineering for 3 years and working in a neuroengineering lab for 1.5 years, I decided to join iGEM to explore the field of genetics - one of the two fields in biology I love most (the other one is neural science and engineering). Even though I don’t have much prior experience or knowledge about genetics I was able to pick up the theory and skills quickly because I am a hand’s on learner. I believe my previous research experience, mathematical sense, logical thinking, engineering mindset, and proficiency in Excel and Matlab enabled me to contribute to the team.

Bioengineering, Final Year<br>
 
Bioengineering, Final Year<br>
Have been studying engineering for 3 years and joined a lab in neuroengineering for 1.5 years, I decided to join iGEM to explore the field of genetics, which is one of the two fields in Biology I love most (another one is neural science and engineering). Even though I don’t have much prior experience and knowledge about genetics (so as many of my team mates), I believe I can pick up the theory and skills quickly because I am a learn-by-doing person. I believe my previous research experience, proficient in Excel and Matlab, mathematics sense, logical thinking and engineering mindset enable me to contribute to the team.
