Click on our faces to learn more about us!Undergrads
TJ Ciesla
TJ is a Duke junior majoring in biomedical engineering with a certificate in genome science and policy from Tampa, FL. While not iGEMing, he dances on the Duke Raas team, plays the ukulele and optimizes his calorie to vegetable ratio. He likes his coffee black.
Matthew Farnitano
Matthew Farnitano is a junior at Duke University majoring in Biology with minors in chemistry and music. This is his second year as a member of Duke’s iGEM team. In addition to his lab life, Matt plays French horn with the Duke Wind Symphony, and has served as piano accompanist and pit orchestra member with Duke’s Hoof’n’horn musical theatre troupe. He grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and loves travelling, having visited 49 US states (and counting). He is spending the fall semester in South Africa studying wildlife ecology and conservation with the Organization for Tropical Studies.
Matthew Faw
Matthew Faw still believes in Santa. Nobody ruin it for him.
Delta Ghoshal
Delta's just a teensy bit of a hypocrite. Delta's just a teensy bit of a hypocrite. Delta's just a teensy bit of a hypocrite.
Mike Zhu
Mike is a junior studying Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science. Outside of iGEM, Mike conducts research with Dr. John Reif on DNA nanotechnology and is involved with the Chinese Dance team. He enjoys spending his free time cooking, eating, being Canadian, and falling asleep.

Graduate Students
Charlie Cooper
Charlie is a PhD candidate in Nick Buchler's lab. He is currently working on developing new tools to control biological processes.
Instructors
Dr. Nicolas Buchler
Nick really likes oscillators, such as the cell cycle, metabolic rhythms, circadian clocks, and synthetic oscillators. Folks in his lab use a combination of synthetic biology, time lapse microscopy, microfluidics, comparative genomics, mathematical modelling, and molecular genetics to understand biological oscillation. When he’s not in lab, he’s at home on 5 acres in the Duke forest with his family. The summer fireflies are very satisfying to watch.Dr. Charlie Gersbach
