Advisers

Undergraduates

	Advisers Erin Borchardt Erin is a fourth year PhD student in the Genetics and Molecular Biology Curriculum at UNC-CH and is completing her thesis research in the lab of Dr. Aravind Asokan. Her research focuses on developing gene regulation and genome engineering tools for applications in gene therapy. She’s excited to be involved with iGEM at UNC after enjoying her experience as an undergrad on the 2010 University of Illinois iGEM team.

	Victor Tse Victor is a post-doc who received his PhD from Cornell University. He is a citizen of Hong Kong however has lived in the United States since his undergraduate years. His thesis was based on the Molecular Determinants of Influenza A Virus Activation. He is currently working with antibody effectiveness on Adeno-Associated Viruses. In his free time Victor plays soccer and spends time in the wilderness.

	Undergraduate Students Connor McFadden Connor McFadden is a Sophomore from Yardley, Pennsylvania double majoring in Biology and Chemistry with an interest in gene therapy and genetics. He has previously worked in the Zhang Lab at UNC focusing on enzymes affecting RNA-i and hopes to pursue more genetics-oriented research with iGEM. He is a member of the Undergraduate Honor Court and Student Rural Health Coalition (Fremont) at UNC. In his free time, he enjoys gaming, reading and playing pick-up soccer.
	Sean Johnson Taylor is a senior from Southern Pines, NC majoring in Biomedical Engineering. She is a Lucas Scholar and NC Space Grant recipient. She works in Dr. Bateman’s Osteoporosis Biomechanics laboratory where she studies bone loss. She will complete her Honors Thesis in this lab studying the effects of Hind Limb Unloading and spaceflight on bone loss in mice as well as the effect of Sclerostin Antibody countermeasure using Finite Element Analysis. In addition, she completed an Additive Manufacturing Research Experience for Undergraduates on the effect of architecture on bioactive glass scaffolds for bone repair. She also completed a study computing structural and material properties of human ribs. She is the Biomedical Engineering Student Chapter Co-President. She loves dogs and enjoys exercising.
	Jerry Zhang Sidney is a first year student born in Nairobi, Kenya, and currently resides in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. At the moment he is undecided about his major, but believes it will be in the sciences. In addition to being on the UNC iGEM team, he is excited to be working in the Hahn Lab this academic year under Dr. Azoitei to study and develop biological tools for the understanding of biological processes. His academic and non-academic interests include synthetic biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, particle physics, running, and spending time with his family and friends.
	Will Church Will is a native of West Jefferson, North Carolina and studies Biology (BS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Under the Frank Conlon lab, he studies the development of congenital heart defects in mammalian models relating to the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase Complex (NuRD). An Advocate of the Community Empowerment Fund and volunteer of the NC Missions of Mercy program, Will believes that everyone should receive the support and assistance needed to live happy, healthy fulfilling lives. In his free time, he enjoys gardening, flameworking, gaming and hiking. Nearing the end of his undergraduate education, Will plans on pursuing a career in Dentistry.
	Samuel Elliot Krause Elliot is a sophomore from Chicago, Illinois. He is a Biomedical Engineering and Biochemistry double major with a minor in mathematics. In addition to being a member of the UNC iGEM team, he is working in the Asokan labs developing a better mouse model using Cmah and MPS1 genes. He is also a part of the Helping Hands club, who provide prosthetic hands for no cost to children who have lost fingers or even larger parts of their hand. In his free time he enjoys playing ultimate frisbee and chess.
