Alex Hatch |
| Alex Hatch is a senior Biological Engineering student participating with iGEM for the second year. He has been involved in research focused on characterizing micro-diversity in contaminated water aquifers and wastewater treatment facilities. His current research is aimed at harvesting bioplastics produced by engineered E. coli. He is preparing for a career in medicine and will attend medical school upon graduation. He is a Utah native, is married, and has two wonderful children. | |
 |
Cole Peterson |
| Cole is a junior in Biological Engineering, and a second year iGEM participant. His personal research is centered in the design, construction, and modeling of gene circuits. In his spare time, Cole likes to be outside with his backpack or his skis. He works for the local ski patrol, and teaches hiking and canyoneering courses for the University. His role for the project was to assist with the construction of promoter parts. | |
 |
Brad Henrie |
| Brad is a graduate student in the Biological Engineering at Utah State University. His personal research is centered around analyzing an unknown microbial community, and characterizing it's genetic phylogeny. Brad is participating in the iGEM competition for his second year, and has enjoyed being a part of the group. He has a passion for caving, and tries to go as often as the team would let him. Other than that, he enjoys rock climbing, camping, the occasional computer game, and is excited for the duck hunting season. | |

Shujie Shen |
| I come from southwest of China. I got my bachelor's degree in Sichuan University. In there, I was working on collagen based biodegradable material. Since 2009 fall, I am a Ph.D candidate in Utah State University; currently, I am focusing on several kinds of special mycobacteria, whose genomes are highly similar to the pathogen Mycobacteria tuberculosis. In one of my project, they are used as surrogates to investigate anti-mycobacterial activity of new agent. On the other hand, these mycobacteria can degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants. We use promoters in the genome, which are related to some crucial enzymes in the degradation process, and ligate them with reported gene GFP sequence to construct a whole cell biosensor to detect pollutants in environment. | |
 |
Cody Tramp |
| Cody is a first-year Ph.D. student in Biological Engineering. He received a B.S. in Biology and B.S. in Biochemistry from Utah State University. His current research project focuses on expanding synthetic biological engineering techniques into cyanobacteria and developing a standardized system for manipulating the genome of these organisms. His career goals involve expanding the capacity of synthetic biological engineering to a full-genome scale. He considers himself a true lab rat, and enjoys spending the bulk of his time in the research lab. When not at the bench, he can be found in the library buried in a book or writing computer programs. | |
