Steve Goldie

(email) Steve is a Life Sciences major with an interest in Cancer Biology and Genetics. He hopes to eventually go to medical school. He became interested in the QGEM team after being promised copious amounts of lab work. So far the research and planning portion of the project has been his favourite part.

Geoff Halliday

(email) Geoff is on the fence between biomedical computing and biochemistry. He comes from a computing background, but is very interested in the biological sciences, and synthetic biology in particular. He also thinks he finally got the layout looking okay.

Thai Phi

(email) Thai is a third year biochemical engineering student. He joined the Queen's iGEM team in 2010 due to his interest in the emerging field of synthetic biology.

Mike Schmidt

(email) Mike is a second year undergraduate student, with a concentration in engineering chemistry. Mike is experienced in mathematical modelling, and the physical sciences affiliated with engineering tasks. He came to the iGEM team in 2009 because of his interests in the wide-range of applications in the field of synthetic biology and systematic engineering. Aside from his studies and QGEM he enjoys playing a variety of sports including hockey, soccer and golf.

Hao Shi

(email) "How is she doin'?" Yup, that's how I will introduce myself if we ever meet. I'm just a guy going into 3rd year Life Sciences aiming to enter medical school like any other life-sci. Aside from that ambition, I have a little engineer inside my brain that craves innovative challenges, which is what brought me to iGEM. To top that off, I need to admit my addiction to badminton... it takes up about 20% of my awake-hours each week. Sherlock Holmes would deduce either I sleep a lot or I play a lot of badminton... or I might be over-exaggerating. Summary: Med school + engineer + badminton = Hao Shi = Awesome!! QED =)

Nelson Yao

(email) Nelson is going into third-year biochemistry. Therefore he contributes knowledge in both molecular biology and chemistry to the team. Nelson joined QGEM 2010 as a volunteer because of his interest in exploring the cool and interesting aspects of synthetic biology and his desire to gain experience in the lab. Also, Nelson has a interest for all kinds of sports including badminton, pingpong, soccer etc, and he is basketball lunatic.

Yuli Zhang

Hi, I am a life sciences student going into third year. I am not exactly certain what I want to do in the future. I often spend time thinking about that but I cannot come to any conclusion. I am sure when the time comes, I will know. For now at least, I am really happy because I am QGEM team member. This will be the best summer ever! PCR, more PCR, digest, ligate, no bands, #%^*. :)
