I plan to enroll in either Medical or Graduate School with a focus on improving current treatment and therapies for neuromuscular and autoimmune disorders. I would like to be a small town doctor while conducting research and have local students visit my lab to galvanize student population interest in medicine and science. I was attracted to iGEM's innovative approach to inspiring undergraduate students to lead and conduct novel research in the rapidly growing and increasingly impactful field of synthetic biology. I also wanted to learn more about genetics and synthetic biology to incorporate my experience and new understandings into future medical research. I like to slackline when it is nice outside, and I am not afraid to dance in public. Even with over a year of experience on a slackline, I still fall off every time. Planning on conducting medical research in the future after going to medical/graduate school. I'm doing iGEM due my desire to create a concrete product that can have an impact on our world. I once memorized the periodic table to commemorate my 8th grade science teacher's retirement, and I haven't forgotten it. Pursuing a graduate degree, then a career in biomedical engineering hopefully management. I'm doing iGem because I'm fascinated with the impact we can make on the world as only college students. Fun fact: I've free climbed a 30 ft cliff outdoors with no ropes or harness. I plan on going to medical school after my undergraduate studies. I love tennis. Planning on going into the bioengineering industry, possibly on the marketing side of things. I'm participating in iGEM because I think it's a good way to extend beyond classes and discover more about the field of genetic engineering. I am excited by the idea of creating something that impacts the community and seeing other groups' discoveries is very motivating. I can juggle a soccer ball over a hundred times. Planning on having a career in the bioengineering industry I am part of iGEM because I would really like the research that comes with this competition as well take the opportunity to interact with creative scientists from all over the country and be inspired by the ideas that can come from genetical engineering. I can juggle three arbitrary things solo and five arbitrary things with a partner. I'm planning on going to dental school after my undergraduate degree. I'm participating iGem because I want to have an hands-on experience in the lab, and modifying bacteria for competition seemed like an interesting and unique way to get that experience. It's super cool that in less than a year, we'll have some kind of a product to show for all of our work. Fun fact: I have six pet shrimp. Graduate or medical school - eventual career in medical research and/or development (device engineering and whatnot) I joined iGEM to get experience in a wet lab where our ultimate goal is to create a working product. The fact that the students are given so much autonomy over the project is also really appealing. One of my hobbies is yo-yoing and I know (only) a handful of tricks - they're simple but they look cool!
