After graduation, I hope to do research either with a biotechnology company or in grad school. I think that iGEM is a great way to gain valuable experience and is an effective way of accelerating the field of synthetic biology. My interests include brain-machine interfacing, genetic engineering, and robotic control systems. My hobbies include playing guitar, video games, the occasional sport, reading, and fixing my car.</div> |

I enjoy reading books about the human genome and advancements in stem cell research. In my spare time I like to play a variety of sports that I am not necessarily good at: soccer, softball, and dodge ball. I see iGEM as an extraordinary opportunity for me to be exposed to real life research, in which my knowledge of molecular genetics will be challenged, and will help me further my understanding of Synthetic Biology. |

I play piano and am attempting to learn the cello. My nerdy tendencies are obvious when I say that I like Star Trek TNG but not DS9. Last summer I worked in the biomedical research lab of Dr. Larry Unsworth of the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), which has further piqued my interest in the field of nanotechnology. In the hopefully not too distant future I plan on becoming a researcher studying the mechanisms of membrane bound enzymes, particularly oxidoreductases. iGEM has proved a fantastic experience, it has served to mature me further as a scientist.</div> |

Jason has applied to continue his education in graduate studies at the University of Alberta in 2010. His degree in Botany focuses mostly on the molecular side of plants and he hopes to use this knowledge applying Synthetic Biology to plants.

In my spare time I like to run around, ride my bike, play music, cook delicious food, and pretty much all the other fun things kids are doing these days. In my first year I helped to build a car with the U of A's Formula SAE fabrication team. I had a good time building stuff out of metal, and this year I know that I'm going to have a blast building (or at least attempting to build) a novel organism out of DNA parts.</div> |

During my time on last year's iGEM team I found that it was a pretty cool multidisciplinary project, which drew in a few different disciplines that I have never really interacted with previously. It was very impressive to see what we, and all the iGEM teams, had accomplished by the end of last year's competition.</div> |

I grew up in the Okanagan, British Columbia, and love spending my summers at the beach . In my spare time I enjoy playing squash and bouldering. iGEM to me represents a fundamental value of science as a discipline; that people can from diverse backgrounds with a common interest and curiosity can work as a cohesive team to overcome barriers and problems. </div> |

I am very interested in the fields of Molecular Biology and Immunology. For the last two years, I have been keeping myself busy studying the development of macrophages in the lab of Dr. Daniel Barreda. Outside of the lab, I am an avid photographer and downhill mountain biker. The iGEM competition accelerates the development of Synthetic Biology as a field. To be a part of our University of Alberta team is an excellent opportunity for collaboration and advancement.</div> |
