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. | |

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. | |
