Undergraduates
'10 Chemical Engineering
 * Sara Abdollahi

With two years to go in her chemical engineering degree and one year of co-op experience under her belt, Sara hopes to supervise the applied science happening with the Montreal iGEMmers. She looks forward to using her engineering degree to help other people in the future and is taking a minor in Biomedical Sciences towards this end. In her spare time, she likes hiking, writing and reading. '08 Anatomy and Cell Biology An undergraduate student in Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill, Avi is sticking around till December to graduate. Part of last year's iGEM team, he loved Jamboree'ing so much, that he's decided to stick around another year. He spends his spare time playing sports like tennis and soccer, and when Montreal doesn't allow that, he stays home and watches insane amounts of online streaming television. Within the ranks of the McGill team, Avi is known by the distinctive iGEM pseudonym of 'Manpri's' (derived from the article of clothing, the 'capri') and one day hopes to invent a robot that can spit out biobricks and write papers for you at the same time.

'10 Anatomy and Cell Biology Having just completed his 2nd year at McGill studying Anatomy and Cell Biology, James is a first-timer to a research lab. While being an iGEMer is very exciting, he hopes to take this opportunity to take what was learnt in classrooms into practice.

'10 Biochemistry
 * Sayeh Davoudi

My name is Sayeh (aka Powerpuff to my lab buddies) and I'm a second year biochem major. I'm pretty recognizable by being one of the only two girls in the lab, and trying to keep the lab tidy after everyone messes it up. iGEM is my first lab experience and when I'm not making DNA gels, I spend my time reading, going to the gym, and doing all kind of girly stuff. See you all at the Jamboree!!!

'08 Physiology
 * Hanmo Li

So this is my second year participating in iGEM, and I'm sure this time around we will be better! I just completed my last year of my B.Sc at McGill University, and I am looking forward to going further with my academic career.

'08 Joint Honours in Mathematics and Physics Having recently graduated from a Joint Honours in Mathematics and Physics, Alexandra is interested in mathematical modelling and as such has decided to put her math skills at the service of the McGill iGEM team. When not coding, Alexandra is doing math, and when not doing math, she's coding for iGEM. In moments this vicious cycle brakes, she watches period drama and makes origami.

'08 Joint Honours in Mathematics and Physics Vincent just finished his degree in the Joint Honours in Mathematics and Physics at McGill and will pursue graduate studies in applied mathematics far far away. As a fervent mathematics lover, he decided to join the modeling crusade of the McGill iGEM team, thus sacrificing his sleep to paper and computer. Once decoupled from his tender laptop, he hikes, bikes and skies.

’09 Hon. Microbiology and Immunology A third year science major in Microbiology and Immunology, Kota is the resident microbiologist of the group with a research bent. As lab supervisor, he is concerned with proper observation of lab protocol and ready availability of materials (without resorting to plunder from the team advisor’s lab) over the course of the day’s toil. When not meditating on the implications of genetically engineered micro-machines, he battles against potential threats to lab security from within.

Where we're from
Montreal: City of the Expos, Canadiens and artery-clogging poutine. After eating mounds and mounds of these fries and cheese curds and gravy, we'll use a fine wine as a chaser.
