Background & Interests: My interests are cardiothoracic surgery; specifically minimally invasive coronary artery bypasses and the use of synthetic arteries for such bypasses. I am also interested in the development of low-cost, high-reliability content delivery networks for online video distribution.
| Background & Interests: My goal for the next 4 years are to finish my BSc honors degree in Biochemistry, while maintaining my own business. Joining the iGEM team is truly a highlight of academic career, and it has been an amazing experience to work at the forefront of science.

Background & Interests: I have a BSc in biological sciences. My career ambition is to become a neurosurgeon. I
was motivated to join iGEM because of its radical approach to research and design. After
seeing the presentation put on by the Butanerds in the spring, I became very excited and
was eager to be part of something that was both creative and practical. I wanted to take
away two things from this experience: general knowledge about synthetic biology, and
hands on lab experience.
In relation to my career goals, most surgeons complete a 2 year masters during their
residency. Having learned the basics of synthetic biology, and potential treatments and
medical application, I know that this is one area of research I would like to pursue in
the future.
