IGEM member

I have been a member of the iGEM team for almost a year now. I have always loved metabolic engineering and the science behind it. The way genes can be manipulated to create the products that we desire is the part that I love the most about metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. This is what has brought me to join the group. Moreover, the product that we have produced has the ability to benefit several aspects of people’s life including the cosmetic and the oil industry. I have always wanted to give back to the society with the knowledge that I have acquired in college. In addition, I have several other interests such as dancing, singing, and drawing.

Naga Sirisha is a graduate student pursing her PhD in Biological and agricultural engineering at the University of Georgia. Her involvement with biotechnology research began with her masters’ research on downstream processing for the purification of bacterial hyaluronic acid produced by the fermentation of genetically engineered lactococcus lactis at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (India). Currently, her doctoral research interests are in the area of algal biofuels. She is working towards improving the yield and quality of algal biofuels produced by thermochemical and fermentation pathways using various pretreatments and component extraction methods. Besides research, Sirisha pursues hobbies such as music, tennis, yoga and hiking.

Tips for the Team Page

What should this page contain?

  • Include pictures of your teammates, don’t forget instructors and advisors!
  • You can add a small biography or a few words from each team member, tell us what you like, and what motivates to participate in iGEM.
  • Take team pictures! Show us your school, your lab and little bit of your city.
  • Remember that image galleries can help you showcase many pictures while saving space
