Initially, our team was divided into three groups for paper discussion and experiments. We hoped we could use these simple group division to make our teammates learn how to complete our teamwork.
One thing special about our team is that over 90% of us is freshmen. This made our team more creative but also presented many difficulties due to our relative lack of professional knowledge and training. Fortunately, we have many advisers to help us conquer these difficulties. They not only teach us the basic concepts and knowledge of iGEM, but they also let us think and try instead of doing the work for us. Therefore, our entire project is completed by our team members themselves with our instructors and advisers providing their opinions.
After a few months, we divided our team into experiment group, wiki group, art group, and presentation group in hopes of making everyone do what they do best.

CHAO-DI CHANG
Hello everyone, my name is Chao-Di Chang, and I am a master student from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan R.O.C. I am the modeling assistant of the 2014 NCTU_Formosa iGEM team. This is my first time being a member of iGEM team, cause my major is bioinformatics researching which is pretty far from synthetic biology and genetic engineering. However, the biological background of synthetic biology in iGEM is really easy to understand which means the idea of our project; the innovation is the most important thing in iGEM project. So all the iGEMers work really hard to perform their delicate biological device once a year, and I am so proud to be a part of it.
SHU-HAN CHANG
As a student majoring in biological science and technology of National Chiao-Tung University, I have the chance to join the competition. Although we have lots of problem to solve, but we never give up and finish the job. Since then, I love my partners so much.

Po-Wei Chiang
I’m a Biotechnology major at NCTU. This is my second year as an iGEMer, for I was a team member in the 2013 NCTU_Formosa team, this year, as an advisor. At the moment, I'm assisting our team members conducting experiments and solving problems as well as training presentation. To me, iGEM is not only about winning prizes and honor, it’s about teamwork and friendship. That’s actually why I devote myself into iGEM again. Last but not least, I am thrilled about meeting all you OUTSTANDING people!
Ying-Ying Yu
My name is Ying-Ying. I’m a master student; studying in bioinformatics and synthetic biology.
I think iGEM competition is always a good place for synthetic biologists and students in the field. Additionally, they could develop their own creativities and potentials.
We don’t focus our research on conventional organisms or mechanisms anymore. Synthetic biology brings us whole new way!
