| BSc Cell Biology - 3rd year | BSc Biological Sciences/Economics - 3rd year | |||
| Background & Interests: Interests include both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cellular anatomy & physiology. The project has also piqued my interest in bionanotechnolgy and a variety of types of RNA. | Background & Interests: The first time I heard the term "genetic engineering," it piqued my curiosity. Now I think synthetic biology is absolutely fascinating because of all the revolutionary things it could mean for the future. I have had a blast in my iGEM experiences and am excited at having been exposed to such a cutting edge research field." | |||

| Background & Interests: | Background & Interests: Computational modeling of RNA structure, air quality modeling, computational intelligence, hats and goggles | |||
| Jessica D'Amico | 
| Jeremiah Bolstad | |
| MSc Biomedical Engineering - 1st year | BSc in Biological/Physical Sciences - 4 1/2th year | |||
| Background & Interests: BSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Alberta | Background & Interests: I am interested in many things... cryptozoology, mismatched socks, radishes (but not horseradishes), orangutans, riding trains in Asia, Lepidoptera, whewellite and, of course, bending spacetime with my mind. | |||
| Hazim Gaber | 
| Qiwei Li | |
| BSc Biochemistry - 2nd Year | ||||
| 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. | |||
| Jason Robinson-Anagor | 
| Remko van den Hurk | |
| BSc Biological Sciences - complete | MSc Electrical and Computer Engineering - 2nd year | |||
| Background & Interests: 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. | Background & Interests: BSc Engineering Physics, BSc Biochemistry from University of Saskatchewan, interests include nanobiotechnology(biosensors, nanobiomotors, cell mimetic systems), new developments in spaceflight and the space industry | |||
