After leading last year's inaugural iGEM team to a gold award last year, Iowis returned this year to further grow the team. Outside of iGEM, he studies the characteristics of DNA looping protein in Dr. Kahn's lab. He has had the entire periodic table memorised since 8th grade. Outside of lab, he loves reading manga, watching sports (a NE Patriots fan), and following the global stock market. He recently visited India last winter and Germany last summer. After graduation he plans to enter MD/PhD program. His GPA is an abysmal 3.9something and his MCAT is an adequate 38.

I joined iGEM this spring because of its fast-paced, multidisciplinary, and problem solving nature. In addition to research, I am the founder of SuperScore, Inc, and serves on the national board of Kids Are Scientists Too. I hope to complete a MD/MBA someday. On the side, I enjoy boxing, parkour, and reading.
"Has Iowis-senpai noticed me yet?"
A sophomore who has lived in Singapore and Australia in the past, his strong interest in genetic engineering prompted him to join iGEM. As his experience in this field has been positive so far, he is rather optimistic for his career, hoping to conduct research in the field after attaining an MD/PhD. Outside of school, he is a self proclaimed piano prodigy, having won consecutive local competitions and finalising in international ones. He can solve a Rubik's cube in a very slow average of 17 seconds and is an avid video gamer. He is actually not a weeaboo as some aspects of his profile may suggest.
"I'm a little cheMOIST right now."
A member of the Integrated Life Sciences Honors College, I am heavily involved in the design of various components of the team’s PCR machine. This is my second research experience and first wet-lab experience. Outside iGEM, I am a member of the University of Maryland Gymkana Troupe and have an almost eerie obsession with Rubik’s cubes and Natalie Dormer.
Hi I'm Juhye. I'm a sophomore Neurobiology/Physiology and Nutritional Science double major, planning on going to medical school to become either a dermatologist or a pediatric oncologist Other than iGEM, I'm currently part of another research team on campus focusing on a support program for Korean breast cancer patients. In my free time I enjoy dancing, reading, and watching way too many crime shows in one sitting while consuming mac and cheese. Cheese is my favorite type of food.
Hi, I'm a sophomore bioengineering major at the University of Maryland. While I am not sure, at this point in time, what exactly I plan to do in the future, I hope that experiences like iGEM will help me to find my interests and give me more exposure to the many careers related to biology. Outside of school, I enjoy running and keeping up with track & field. I also enjoy doing kungfu (martial arts) and just recently started indoor rock climbing this summer. Basically, I love doing sports.
Hi, my name is Dania Benalla and I am a sophomore microbiology and computer science double major. Much like many of the UMD team, I am a part of the UMD integrated life sciences program and hope to go medical school in the future. My interests include reading, Netflix and sleeping way too much.
I am a sophomore majoring in Physiology & Neurobiology and on the pre-med track. I might consider pursuing obstetrics in the future. I would like to travel and apply my knowledge to developing countries or disaster relief. Beyond that, I have interests in nutrition and business. I am a student photographer for the Honors College and play on the Women's Ultimate Frisbee Team. My favorite way to spend my free time is staying active in nature, such as jogging or doing adventure courses.
"I'm gonna science as hard as I can!"
I am a senior at the University of Maryland researching mechanosensitive channels in V. cholerae. When I'm not in the lab, you can find me wandering organic farms trying to find my spirit animal or exploring the rocky paths of the local Billy Goat Trail along the Potomac River. In addition to basic scientific research, I am interested in science education and policy and plan to work in that arena after earning my PhD.
"When I am not tinkering with the PCR you will find me modeling in the finest versions of matlab"
I am a senior at the University of Maryland who is studying BioEngineering. I bring 6 years of wet lab research experience including one prior year with Maryland's IGEM team. This year my main project is in the design of a cheap and effective PCR machine, and modeling metabolic pathways of engineered E.coli. In my free time, I enjoy the movies, making food for the team, and visiting cows.
Adam's Bio is pending.
Hi, my name is Samiha Ahmed and I'm a sophomore Neurobiology and Physiology and Public Health Sciences double major. I hope to go to medical school one day, and I love all things arts and crafts related.
I am a sophomore and member of the Gemstone Honors College. I was predominantly involved in the Wiki design. In addition to iGem, I work in a Polymer Chemistry lab and enjoy finding as much free food as possible.
Hi everyone - I am a senior bioengineering major and statistics minor at the University of Maryland. I hope to attend medical school after my undergraduate education. In my time outside of the classroom, I enjoy running, playing basketball, and taking long naps in the library when I really should be studying. Recently, I have also been occupied with self-learning new computer programming languages. Expect big things from UMD iGEM this year – go Terps!
I am a former vice president of the UMaryland iGEM team and had served many roles this past year as we formed the team. I graduated with a degree in Bioengineering and currently work in the Life Sciences consulting field while also working as a mentor and advisor to this years team. My background primarily consists of metabolic and genetic engineering research, and in my spare time I am an avid rock climber and play ice hockey.
