Alex Grigg I’m going into my second year of biomedical sciences. It’s my first year of iGEM, and this year I’ll be helping with designing circuits for our project and creating it in the wet-lab. Also, I’ll be heading up our community outreach, by contacting media outlets and organizing events to help promote iGEM awareness. My hobbies include hockey, mixed martial arts, and eating gluten-free food. I also enjoy going to alternative rock and dubstep shows. |

Chris Tang I just completed my second year in the Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary. I am planning to specialize in the field of Cellular, Molecular and Microbiology which deals primarily with investigation of bacteria. This year, I will be helping to promote iGEM with the Marketing and Finance team as well as assisting with the wetlab components. I joined the iGEM team because of the new and exciting field as well as the opportunity to work hands-on with a group of people. Synthetic biology is a very new field with massive amounts of potential and I am excited to be a part of this team. I love sports and am a huge Calgary Flames and New England Patriots fan. In my spare time, I like to play sports, play video games, read, and help out at my church. |

Dev Vyas I have just completed my first year in Biomedical Sciences working towards my degree in the Bachelor of Health Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine. I have a strong interest in the field of synthetic Biology and therefore am very excited to be a part of the 2010 University of Calgary iGEM team. As this will be my first research opportunity at the university level, the only experience I have is that obtained from first year Biology labs and Medical Science courses. I believe that one of the major characteristics of iGEM, interdisciplinary, allows the team to bring together top student talents from faculties ranging from engineering to medicine. I am also a huge soccer fan especially Manchester United and Leicester City! |
