The Stanford iGEM team consist of 10 undergraduate students, and also include graduate student mentors and faculty advisors. Students are working full time throughout the summer of 2009 to engineer a synthetic biological system, and will present their project in the form of posters and a 20 minute presentation at the Jamboree. This is the first time that our team is competing.

Undergraduates

Anusuya Ramasubramanian

Bobby Wei

Ming Yan

Mary Yang

Directors

Nghi Nguyen,Class of 2009. Nghi is a Masters student in Biological Science, specializing in Molecular and Cellular Biology. His research interest in Helen Blau's Lab lies at the intersection of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.

Ariane Tom, Class of 2011. A Materials Science and Engineering major, Ariane is particularly interested in utilizing biomaterials for regenerative therapies. She is currently working on characterizing the properties of hydrogel-based keratoprosthesis in Curtis Frank's lab.
