Oh hey there! I'm Ben, a rising sophomore who is planning on majoring in Biomedical Engineering. I am part of the group that is working on gene expression with light. Outside of lab, I am the web designer for our iGEM team. It is the first time I am coding in html and css so there is a big learning curve, but it is a lot of fun regardless. In my free time, I like to go to the gym, watch netflix, and am attempting to learn to cook!

Hello there! I'm Caroline, and I am a rising sophomore majoring in chemistry with a biochemistry concentration. This summer, I am working with Richard to get a nif cluster from a cyanobacteria working in E. coli . When not doing lab work, I work on the team's social media presence and outreach program. We're filming a short web series for our YouTube channel, so you should check it out! When I can tear myself away from those things, I enjoy watching period dramas, trying out new restaurants, taking a jog in the early evening, and talking to friends.
Hola! My name's Richard. I am a rising sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Mathematics. I work on attempting to express nif clusters from cyanobacteria in E. coli strains in various environmental conditions. As lab manager of the iGEM team for WashU, I enjoy interactions with scholars in institutions as well as with prokaryotic cells in media. Viewing our team's job as inception of agricultural future, I am glad to be one of the members here. Out of lab, my interests range from reading to aviation, and I am also a puppy lover.
I am a rising senior majoring in Biomedical Engineering and am an alumnus of WashU iGEM 2012. Currently I am working on engineering cyanobacteria to better produce proteins in the Pakrasi Lab. I hope to attend graduate school to pursue a PhD in Bioengineering after graduation. Outside of the lab I can be found reading, biking, or cooking.
