Team:NYMU-Taipei/team/member
From 2014.igem.org
Team 2014 NYMU-TAIWAN was a gather of 19 bio-beginners when it was form in March, 2014, however this far, we found ourselves maniacs in synthetic biology. In the past few months, we’ve been trying to develop a sustainable and auto-controlled way to cure caries, which may be a good blessing for the elderly and toddlers.
Cherishing every mistakes and possibilities we have explored, we humble learners are grateful in front of knowledge and our helpers. In some day we hope, may all our dreams break into blossoms.

Wang, Wei Xing 王瑋欣
Wei Xing is a freshman in nursing department. In addition to professional nursing knowledge, she has great sense of leading a group. She is in charge of pathogenic group, one part of our project, and leads the members to finish the project, including brain storming, circuit design, and experiments. She is a diligent girl who is willing to take many works without hesitation. She is an indispensable member of NYMU-Taipei team.
Wang, Yi Fang 王怡方
Yi Fang is a freshman in medicine department in our school. She designed the system of changing foot of phage and is responsible of the modeling work. She is quite hard-working and has high efficiency and accuracy in literature finding. Besides building the model of our project, she also contributes a lot in brain storming, coming up with lots of ideas and problems of our project that we might not think of.
Chang, Yen An 張彥安
Yen An is a freshman in medicine department in NYMU. She is the leader of phage group and is responsible for constructing the sensor part of the S. mutans phage. Not only is she a very discreet and hard-working leader, but also a considerate and sensible friend. She always reads paper and does lab experiment carefully and therefore help us discover the problem. Surely, our team can’t do anything well without her.
Wang, Hsin Yi 王馨儀
Hsin-Yi is a freshman in medicine department of National Yang Ming University. In our team, she is involved in the sensor and killer part of phage group. Also, she is responsible in both wiki construction and modeling. Being good at both biology and computer science, Hsin-Yi makes good contribution in solving problems in other perspective. Hsin-Yi is not only intelligent but also hard-working, coming up with some novel idea for our project.
Niu, Szu Yun 牛思云
Szu Yun has a cute nickname, Niu Niu. She is a freshman in medicine department of NYMU. In our team, she designed the biosafety part. She is very diligent and puts many efforts in conducting experiments. Additionally, she is very good at playing sports!! If you want to play sports with someone, just contact her.
Wang, Ching Yun 王慶雲
Ching yun is a life science sophomore in NYMU and takes part in our sRNA gene knockdown design. He is confident and hard-working in the project design. Being a sophomore student, he is great at doing experiment and knows a lot in molecular biology .In addition, he is responsible for the communication of iGEM conference in NCTU in our team. Because of his help, we step forward to a perfect team.
Tsai, Yi Chen 蔡宜真
Being a sophomore student in NYMU life science department, Yi Chen knows a lot and often give us helpful suggestions.She takes part in our sensing module of detecting biofilm, using low oxygen and PH promoter, and bring up a specific way to combine phage and pathogenic communication. Moreover, she participates in many of our team art design, such as our team T-shirt. With her help, we come up with many new ideas.
Huang, Jui Tzu 黃睿慈
Jui Tzu is a first grade medical student in NYMU. Besides taking charge of indicating module in pathogenic group, she dedicated in bring up magmetic bacteria in our 2011 iGEM team project, in cooperation with University of Pennsylvania. Also, she was involved in our sensing module of detecting S.mutans. She's always ready to give us a hand.
Huang, Chien Yung 黃芊詠
Being a freshman in the life science department, she is a very lovely girl. She brings a lot of joy to the people around her. Chien Yung is willing to help partners in our team. As for our project parts, she takes charge of killing part of E. coli. She never gives up doing her best in the wet lab experiment.
Yu, Hsuan-Hsuan 游暄萱
Ayersa always pushes herself to the limits to achieve perfection. She takes care of the biofilm inhibiting part in our Tackled Tooth project. Though exhausted by massive literature research, she never gave up on our project. One of her greatest talents is to bring joy and laughter to her friends and beloved ones. Sometimes she just can’t stop herself from laughing hard! When Ayersa is around, no one feels bored!!
Chen, Wei-Tai 陳威臺
William is a sophomore majoring in life science. He and Ching yun designed a part of the phage circuit to inhibit the growth of s. mutan’s biofilm. William enjoys playing basketball, computer games, and spending time with his family. But most of all, he has a unique taste for savoring food and cuisine. Having a hard time deciding where to go for lunch or dinner? Call William! He sure will be your hero of the day!

It’s amazing how she turns one’s bad mood into delighted feelings! Though being silly sometimes, she never lets the NYMU team down when it comes to doing experiments. Over the past few months, Sunny has been working hard on the attachment part of our project.
Chen, Kuan Jung 陳冠蓉
Ruby is responsible for Human practice. She is always energetic and willing to help others in our team. Her energy shines like sunshine and makes all of us delight, giving us courage to go on. No matter how much or how difficult her work is, she will make effort to it and lead to a wonderful result. She also did well in making short films, which are very lovely! We love to work with Ruby!
Chen, Hung-Wen 陳鴻文
Leon Yim
Leon Yim is a high school student at Taipei American School (TAS), Taipei. He is very enthusiastic and interested in how synthetic biology works and how it can be used to tackle common problems. He joined the 2014 NYMU-iGEM team and is working on engineered E.coli in the current project for the S.mutans and the Biofilm problem. In the future he wants to engineer and design new circuits with various applications.
Peng, Jui-Hui Patrick 彭睿輝
Patrick had been studying in Canada during high school. He can idle away a whole day simply being a bookworm, spending time with fierce dragons in magical kingdoms. Even without food and water, an e-book is enough to make his world go round. Patrick is talented in drawing. He designed our poster and pictures on the 2014 NYMU wiki page.

Evonne is a eleven-grade student from Taipei American School. She's a cute younger sister in our team and brought up our working atmosphere. In spite of her young age, she worked hard and contributed a lot in our team. Not only did she helped in the experiments in wet lab, she also gave us a lot of help in English communication, such as presentation and documental works.
Kidane Desta Gebreyesus
Kidane is a PhD student at the Institution of Biomedical Informatics in NYMU. He has MSc degree in Mathematical and Statistical Modelling. In our team, he is hard-working in the Modelling part to obtain appropriate Mathematical models to model parameter determinations and simulations. Also, he is expected to contribute in the analysis and statistical tests of our experimental data.
