We are SYSU-China from Sun Yat-sen University. It is great fun for us to participate in iGEM-2014. This year SYSU-China has grown into a big family: 18 student members, 5 instructors, and 4 lab advisors. We are glad to communicate with dear friends from all over the world. If there is anything we can discuss about or help you, please feel free to connect us via:

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Mingxuan Zhang Gender：female Major：Biotechnology Captain of SYSU-China I like playing basketball and many kinds of sports; I like hiking and being in the wood; I like reading and thinking; I like acting cute. I love biology and I love iGEM.It is so great to work with a group of people like this. I can’t wait to meet all the iGEMers and share my own thoughts with you!

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Huang Junxiang Gender：Male Major：Biological Science Captain of SYSU-China Self introduction: Always sleepy…(It seems this person is too lazy to leave anything more, but please trust me, he contributed a lot!)

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name: Jianhua Zeng Gender：Male Major：Biological technology and application Self introduction: Always sleepy…(It seems this person is too lazy to leave anything more, but please trust me, he contributed a lot!)

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Wei Tang Gender：Female Major: Biotechnology She is a very lovely and optimistic girl with the sweet smile. She always brings happiness to us SYSU-China. During the experiment, the three words she loves saying are: hungry, thirsty and sleepy, but in fact, she is the most energetic one in our team. She loves biology very much and enjoys the process of iGEM. In a word, iGEM experience is dramatically brilliant for her!

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Jian Shen Gender：male Major：Forensic Medicine He is a member of the team and mostly works in the mutation group. Though coming from the school of medicine, he shows great interest in life sciences, especially in synthetic biology and joined the team with the dream of creating some new kind of life. As a pretty shy boy, he shares little words but expresses a passion for doing experiments. For him, the experience of working with other team members is most precious gift for himself.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name: Xizi Wang Gender: Female Major: Biological Technology and Application Creativity not only in art but also in Biology makes me zealous to synthetic biology. iGEM can really be a great platform for all those love to create and want to become a real researcher including me. As an undergraduate student, iGEM really give me a great chance to develop myself while designing and experimenting, inside our team I mainly worked at M13 mutants’ construction and other group affairs. Working together for a same target with a brilliant team can bring a lot of fun!

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Yanwen xie Gender：Female Major：Biotechnology So fortunate am I that I have been a member of SYSU-China for almost 2 years! I enjoy doing research in lab and also making new friends. I love playing badminton, watching movies and playing the guitar. The experience in iGEM has been great! Looking forward to meet U！

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Runwen Yao Gender：Male Major：Biological Science Self introduction:2333 I am a little monster. I love my mother monster. (It seems this person is too lazy to leave anything more, but please trust me, he contributed a lot!)

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Fangyingnan Zhang Gender：Male Major：Biological Science He believes that the bench work is a kind of handicraft which always needs polishing. Food and swimming are his favorite.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name： Xiaoyu Zhao Gender：Male Major：Biological Science For some reasons, I was called the Boss, but I am not the person who gets us grant. Harry Potter and Adele are my favorite, so is Biology. I’m very excited to be part of SYSU-China team and work with our fabulous team members.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name： Dengwen Lai Gender：Male Major：Biological Technology and Application I’ve been participating in lab work since the first at university. In SYSU_CHINA, I’m a member of group M13 dealing with a lot of experiments and paper works. I love playing jokes, but I think I should be more serious sometimes. Some may consider me as a nerd, actually I have lots of hobbies like photography and 20th century American literature. Since I’ll be the next captain of 2015-SYSU-CHINA, I want to learn more and make more friends this year.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Xiang Ji Gender：Male Major：Physics I’m an undergraduate major in physics and involved in the modeling part of our project in SYSU-CHINA. I designed all the modeling work of SYSU-China, and conducted the calculation work. It is doubtlessly a tough mission, but I believe it will pay off.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name:Wenyan Guo Gender：Female Major： Visual Communication As the art designer, I’m proud of working with these brilliant and friendly team members. In my spare time, I like taking photos，dancing and jogging. Hope I can share my interests and happiness with you guys very soon.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name： Pai Li Gender：Male Major：Biological Technology and Application Greetings, dear friends! I am Pai Li who participate in iGEM-2014 and also 2015 in the future as a member of sweet SYSU-China family. I love iGEM because this is the top stage of synthetic biology competition, where inspiration mingles perspiration as a proof of honor and precious memory. I am an outgoing person who love to bury myself in life science, and perhaps anime or galgames as well. In a word, iGEM experience is dramatically brilliant!

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name： Qiang He Gender：Male Major：Biotechnology In the Sun Yet-Sen University, there is a lovely boy from Sichuan province who is energetic and naughty, smart and gifted. He immerses himself in exploring the world of science, with curiosity and insistence. Now you know I'm the boy and my name is Qiang He; I speak for myself. Thank you.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Qianbin Zhang Gender：Female Major：Biological technology and application Many friends love to describe me as “tiny”, because I have a baby face and am rather tiny in height. However, I always try my best not to think tiny and do tiny things, especially in my dreamland of science. But everything has to start out tiny, so I joined iGEM, where students at the same age with me think and cooperate and make things out step by step. This year, as I just joined in, I mainly participated in the Interlab study. In college, I do not stay in labs only. I am the vice captain of our department’s girls basketball team and I am also an actress in the school’s drama club. I would be very happy if I can make friends with many other participants here. I hope I can harvest not only knowledge and experience but also friendship and unforgettable memories.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Jianheng Liu Gender：Male Major：Biological Science It’s an unforgettable experience for me to conduct the interlab study as my first iGEM task. I hope that my partners and I will present a wonderful iGEM project in 2016.

<img src ="" align ="right"> Name：Chunyang Ni Gender：Male Major：Biological Science I am a sophomore in the bioscience major this year. In 2014_SYSU_China,I performed part of the experiments of interlab-study. I’m fascinated about the interaction between pathogens and their hosts, especially the response of the innate immune system.

Lab Advisors of SYSU-China

Yan Shi, Runqing Huang, Shaowei Yang, and Shuai Jiang are our lab advisors. As postgrads who are already familiar with our lab and operation, they are generous to help us with experimental methods, instrument operation, and little tips. During our project, they taught us with skills such as cloning operation, bacteria culture, and M13 infection, which initiated our practical work. Honestly, we were impossible to finish our work without their support. Thanks for their guidance!
