<p> I don't really know how I ended up here at iGEM...I am a Neuroscience Major, not Molecular or Microbiology. However it happened, I have loved learning more about Synthetic Biology. Just a little bit about myself, I am from a small town in Massachusetts which I believe is the greatest state in the Country! I am a junior at BYU and as I said before I am studying Neuroscience with the hope of going on to graduate school to study drug development. I guess my greatest hope in life is become a drug dealer...but the good kind of drugs. I have had the opportunity to work with some great guys, Garrett and Mike Abboud, to try and get a CRISPR system to work. It has been a challenge but we are getting closer and closer to getting it to work. | <p> I don't really know how I ended up here at iGEM...I am a Neuroscience Major, not Molecular or Microbiology.

Jordan BergThe Abridged Biography of Jordan Alexandrius Berg by his omnipotent, coconut-wielding troubadour squire: A long time ago, in a galaxy surprisingly close to you, occurred the birth and humble beginnings of Jordan Alexandrius Berg on the western shores of the United States. His journeyings eventually brought him to the fair shores of the east coast to his lush, forested home of Georgia. But suddenly his quest brought him to the white mountains of the BYU Provo area where he would learn how to be a grandmaster molecular biologist. Aside from his main objective, that of mastering the art of molecular biology, he enjoyed various side quests such as running, pot smashing, rupee collecting, marathoning, hiking, dragon riding, camping, deep-space exploration, general adventuring and trinket collecting, music producing, and the list continues... His deep fascination with the mysteries of the galaxy and string theory have caused great constant mental duress, but all this is subdued once a mutagenesis has worked out for the best. His love for and bafflement by the universe in which we live is only one of the infinitude of reasons Jordan Alexandrius decided to participate in iGEM. 'Twas but a single step further in his insatiable quest for knowledge. (It should be noted that this paragraph has been written in Georgia font in honor of his homeland.) "That's his secret, Captain. He's always in the lab." -Dr. Bruce Banner to Captain America |

Garrett JensenGarrett is most known for his absurd love of running, curly hair, and is known as the guy who lives in room 2129 of the Life Science Building. He is from a small town in Arizona, hates all forms of winter, snow, ice, and cold things in general, and did I mention he likes to run. His study of microbiology has brought him to this point in his research career where he has studied, along with teammates Mike and Mike, the wonderful world of CRISPRs. Unfortunately Garrett has no coconut-wielding troubadour squire as did Jordan Alexadrius Berg to write his autobiography for him, so he had to write it himself. | |

Mike LinzeyI don't really know how I ended up here at iGEM...I am a Neuroscience Major, not Molecular or Microbiology. However it happened, I have loved learning more about Synthetic Biology. Just a little bit about myself, I am from a small town in Massachusetts which I believe is the greatest state in the Country! I am a junior at BYU and as I said before I am studying Neuroscience with the hope of going on to graduate school to study drug development. I guess my greatest hope in life is become a drug dealer...but the good kind of drugs. I have had the opportunity to work with some great guys, Garrett and Mike Abboud, to try and get a CRISPR system to work. It has been a challenge but we are getting closer and closer to getting it to work. |

Jared McOmberWildlife enthusiast, hope-to-be author, artist, guitarist, and physician, Jared's list of things to do is almost as tall as he is. Which, for the curious, is a whopping height of 6 feet and 6 inches. Somehow, stooping over lab benches to set up PCR reactions, enzyme digestions, ligations, and plating bacterial cells made it's way on that list. His favorite activity is climbing into another world with his imagination, using whatever medium he can get his hands on, be it books, video games, tv shows, cartoons, anything with a well-written plot will do. He is in his third year of higher education, majoring in Molecular Biology, but during his undergraduate education has experimented with computer science, accounting, even art! |

Cameron SargentA sneak peak at the manuscript from the biography of Cameron Sargent, the latest work of Dr. Seuss (coming soon to bookstores worldwide): Cameron likes syn-bio, but that is not all. He likes to play sports, sports like basketball. Cameron likes syn-bio, yes sir that is true. He likes to think of the things it can do. |

Cam ZengerCameron Zenger, also known as the better Cameron on the BYU Provo iGEM team, heralds from both Boston and New York City, depending on who’s asking. He grew up in Boston however, so is a lifelong Red Sox, Celtics, and Patriots fan. He attended Roxbury Latin (The One True School). He is a Microbiology major who is planning on Medical School. Other interests include skiing, Tanner’s personal life, and N. multiformis. |

Dr. Julianne Grose, Microbiology & Molecular Biology DepartmentJulianne Grose is an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Microbiology. She earned a PhD in the Department of Biology at the University of Utah, in the lab of the Distinguished Professor John Roth, a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Prior to coming to BYU she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the lab of Jared Rutter as well as a Research Scientist for BioEnergenix, a small pharmaceutical company. Her studies have focused on the regulation of glucose metabolism in the yeast S. cerevisiae. |

Paul "Skip" Price, Microbiology & Molecular Biology DepartmentPaul “Skip” Price is an postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Joel Griffitts in the Molecular Biology and Microbiology Department. He earned a PhD from Washington University in St. Louis (with a stop at UNC-Chapel Hill) in the lab of Bill Goldman, chair of the Microbiology and Immunology Department. His graduate studies focused on the molecular determinants involved in the progression of primary pneumonic plague. His interests in host-microbial interactions has lead him to BYU where he is using natural variation to examine late-stage compatibility in legume-rhizobia symbiosis. |
