Where we're from
Dr. John Parkinson: a.k.a. The Dragon in the Dragon's Den
Graduated from the University of Bath with a bachelor of science in Applied Biology in 1990. After receiving a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Manchester in 1995, I completed a NATO fellowship at the University of Manitoba. From 1997 to 2000, I was awarded a fellowship at the Edinburgh Centre for Protein Technology, University of Edinburgh and from 2000 to 2003 completed another fellowship at the University of Edinburgh on Nematode genomics. I am currently a scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute. The research in our laboratory is aimed at understanding how molecular information can give rise to complex biological behaviour. Using computational methods, we study the organization and dynamics of cellular components within the context of integrated biological systems. Comparative genomics methods are also being applied to provide insights into how these systems may have evolved from the remote origins of life.
Graham Cromar: a.k.a. The Wizard of Id
I am a 4th year Ph.D. student in the Department of Molecular Structure and Function at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. At various times in the past I have studied cell and molecular biology (B.Sc. Toronto), molecular biology and genetics (M.Sc. Guelph), computer programming and systems analysis (dip. Inst. Computer Studies, Toronto), bioinformatics (cert. Canadian Genetic Disease Network) and, systems and matrix biology (present). I have worked as a lab technician, teaching assistant, computer programmer/systems analyst and IS manager. But, what I would most like to do is what I wrote in my high school yearbook about 20 years ago... Design organisms for export to far away galaxies. Thanks to iGEM I'm 1/4 of the way there...

Kenny Zhan: a.k.a. The Mad Scientist
Hi everyone my name is Kenny Zhan and I am a third year undergraduate student. I am currently pursuing a specialization in biochemistry at the University of Toronto. This year I have been part of the iGEM design team at UofT and during the summer I have been fortunate enough to be part of the roster team that works in the lab to bring the design into reality. I find synthetic biology fascinating as I have an interest in developing new techniques and procedures to support the rapidly expanding field of biological sciences. In my free time I enjoy activities such as hiking, biking, ultimate and geocaching. Also you will see me from time to time updating our lab wiki. Hope to see you all down at the jamboree in Boston come October.
Yen Leung: a.k.a ElastiGirl
Yen Leung has been an invaluable member of the iGem Wet lab team. She has always been around the lab helping out, doing experiments and keeping my (Kenny) craziness (when I come up with crazy ideas) and messiness in check. Currently Yen is pursuing a specialist degree in Nutrition and Neuroscience at the University of Toronto and in September '09 she will be entering her third year.
