| - | + | Hello, iGEM! I’m Giulio, a 23-year-old biologist/biotechnologist. | |
| - | *Contacts | + | I come from Pavia, where I’ve always been studying until now, and where I live, but I have in program to continue my studies abroad. |
| + | In my free time I enjoy reading, writing short stories - and novels, too - and playing electric guitar. Travel is another of my passions and take a plane whenever possible! | ||
| + | |||
| + | The iGEM experience thrills me very much, for I’ve always been fond of crossover approach to issues (that’s why I chose Biotechnology as Bachelor Degree) and applying molecular biology in some more analytic and quantitative ways is definitely uncommon as well as exciting. | ||
| + | What’s more, it is a chance for having contact with people with different personal formation, and culture, too! | ||

Giulio Chiesa
Bachelor Degree in biotechnology, Master student in Molecular Biology at Università degli studi di Pavia
Hello, iGEM! I’m Giulio, a 23-year-old biologist/biotechnologist. I come from Pavia, where I’ve always been studying until now, and where I live, but I have in program to continue my studies abroad. In my free time I enjoy reading, writing short stories - and novels, too - and playing electric guitar. Travel is another of my passions and take a plane whenever possible! The iGEM experience thrills me very much, for I’ve always been fond of crossover approach to issues (that’s why I chose Biotechnology as Bachelor Degree) and applying molecular biology in some more analytic and quantitative ways is definitely uncommon as well as exciting. What’s more, it is a chance for having contact with people with different personal formation, and culture, too!

Elisa Del Fabbro
Bachelor Degree in Biomedical Engineering and Master student in Biomedical Engineering at Università degli Studi di Pavia. student at IUSS, Institute for Advanced Study - Sciences and Technologies Class.
Hi guys! My name is Elisa, I’m 22 and I come from a small town in the North-Est of Italy. I’ve been fascinated by the iGEM experience since the first time I got in contact with it, looking at the previous UNIPV-team’s wiki. I think it’s a unique opportunity for us, engineering students, to experience laboratory-life, learn a lot of new things and meet other people, different in approaching the problems, and so interesting! It offers also another important chance: the opportunity to have OUR project, and see it growing up from the idea to the end. And this is very motivating for me! About me…I like travelling, photographing and going out with friends! Don’t mind sports (skiing, running, playing football) and reading as well.

Rita De Molfetta
Bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering and master student in Biomedical Engineering at Università degli Studi di Pavia
Hi! I'm Rita and I'm 21 years old. I come from Alberobello, a small town in southern Italy and UNESCO World Heritage. I moved to Pavia to pursue my studies and I attend the third year of biomedical engineering. My participation in the iGEM competition is motivated by the fact that I think it is an experience that allows us to enrich our theoretical and practical knowledge due to heterogeneity of the topics that are addressed. In my free time I like to read and relax with my friends.

Valerio Vitelli
Bachelor Degree in Biotechnology cum Laude, Università degli Studi di Pavia Master Student in Molecular Biology, Università degli Studi di Pavia
Hi there! I'm a Biotechnology/Molecular Biology student here in Pavia, but i was born in Piacenza, a nice city along the Po River. I was interested in synthetic biology since my freshman year here in Pavia, and now the iGEM competition allows me to deal with the subject directly on the bench and to observe biological problems from an engineeristic point of view. My hobbies are books, watching and playing every sport known to men and movies (David Lynch's fan please stand up!)
