Hiraku Tokuma(Team Leader) School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Biological Information
There are many things I find attractive about iGEM. For example, in iGEM we can give shape to the ideas that we created, interact with students from all over the world, and learn the basics of research. Although I am the leader of this year’s team, there have been many moments when my teammates helped me. I believe that I can achieve something great with them.
Airi Masuyama School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Biomolecule Engineering
The reason I decided to participate in iGEM is that I wanted to acquire skills as a scientist and also compete with students from all around the world. I hope that this experience in iGEM will be helpful in the future.
Emi Fuse School of Technology   Department of Mechanical and Intelligent Systems Engineering
iGEM has given me the opportunity to learn about biology and experience the world out of my field, which is mechanical engineering. It has also given me the chance to learn more about computer simulation. Through iGEM, I hope to do my best and communicate with various people around the world.
Erinn Sim Zixuan School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Biological Information
The reason I decided to participate in iGEM is that I wanted to acquire skills as a scientist and also compete with students from all around the world. I hope that this experience in iGEM will be helpful in the future.
Jun Kawamura School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Biomolecule Engineering
I would like to experience as many interesting things as possible, while I am a student. That is why I’m now participating in iGEM. I am constructing parts for iGEM. I’m looking forward to talking to people from all over the world during the tournament.
Koji Abe School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Bioengineering
I’m glad that I joined this team. I believe that the experience in iGEM would be my life time treasure. I’m a student of Tokyo Institute of Technology, and I study biotechnology. However, I also wanted to study art, especially watercolor painting. After the tournament, I would like to draw pictures and watch a lot of movies all day long.
Misa Minegishi School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Biomolecule Engineering
I’m very happy to join this year’s iGEM competition. This chance is very precious for me because I will get to experience the world of research and challenge teams from different backgrounds. I want to communicate with students from all over the world.
Riku Shinohara School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Bioengineering
iGEM is a very precious opportunity for students who do not belong to laboratories, to do research. By attending iGEM, I would like to interact with students from all over the world and be stimulated by their intellect. I hope my experience in iGEM would help in the future when I become a biologist.
Takahiro Kashiwagi School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Bioengineering
Hi, I'm Takahiro Kashiwagi. I'm a junior at Tokyo Institute of Technology. I major in Bio Technology, and I belong to the department of Bioengineering. I've always wanted to do something challenging, and something that is fun. When I started university, I heard that there was a hard but challenging competition called iGEM, I decided to take part in this interesting competition. Now I am participating in iGEM 2015 as one of the members of Tokyo Tech. I have also been wanting to study abroad to broaden my perspective before I graduate. I lived in Texas for 3 years when I was small, and I went to high school in Switzerland for a year as an exchange student. This experience broadened my view, and influenced me a lot. This made me feel that I have to go somewhere abroad, while I'm in the university. I'm sure that iGEM would be a good way to accomplish this goal because it allows us to communicate with students from many foreign universities. Our goal is to receive a gold medal, and win an award. My teammates and I are now doing, and will continue doing our best to be successful in the competition. I'm going to be one of the presenter of this team. I'll do my best. After the competition, we will visit some labs in Boston. I'm really looking forward to it. By the way, I really love reading mangas so if there's anybody who is reading this and also likes mangas, please tell me.
Tomoka Koshimizu School of Biotechnology and Bioscience   Department of Biotechnology   Course of Biomolecule Engineering
I decided to take part in iGEM because I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to learn about synthetic biology. I have always been interested in gene recombination. I have once done a gene recombination experiment in class, but I found it very difficult. Therefore, I would like to acquire more lab skills through this competition.
