UCSF/Angi Chau

I'm a 5th year(!!) graduate student in the UC Berkeley/UCSF Joint Graduate Group in Bioengineering, working in Wendell Lim's lab. In my non-iGEM life, I investigate how eukaryotic cells break symmetry and polarize into cells with fronts and backs, i.e. what kind of signaling networks can cause this behavior? I do most of my work on the computer, so I've been helping out with the modeling/computation portion of this year's iGEM project. This is my first year being involved in iGEM but right before iGEM started, I was the scientific mentor on the Lincoln High SMART team. Go Lincoln!
