While biochemistry is his major, David has many interests including genetics, immunology, cell biology, bioinformatics, and microbiology. In his spare time he can bound found playing sports, including soccer, volleyball or squash, as well as playing piano, listening to music, and playing video games. Yo, I'm a str8 up G, the lab life is the life for me. Running gels by day, plating colonies by night, being a synbiologist is hella tight. Yo I'm the mighty D to the avid but we never stay low that's why I'm Lloyd. I take out those gene the way I out them playa hatas. Straight up, no one pippettes like the mighty D. Don't be calling me to plate that garbage, you be wasting my minutes. I burst them cells like I pop my lab colla. Don't mess with with this straight G, I'll you won't have an eye left for iGem.

Most of his growing-up and schooling took place in the small town of Cochrane, AB. This will be his first year on UofA's IGEM team and he is excited help take the competition to a new level. His ultimate goals consist of working in the Biotech or healthcare industry. When lab work,textbooks & energy drinks are aside, Kalon volunteers at the Student Distress Center on campus. While his interest in music, movies, snowboarding & hanging with friends etc. may seem stereotypical on the surface, they feel unique in their own right and keep him more than busy most of the time. | <font color=silver>Kalon Armstrong is a 4th year UofA student finishing off a BSc specializing in Molecular Genetics.

He is in his third year of Honors Biochemistry and wishes to pursue a career in medicine. If that doesn't work out, he wishes to pursue a woman who will have a career in medicine. In his time away from the lab he enjoys a wide variety of sports including soccer, boxing, rifle silhouette shooting, ballet dancing, and of course interpretative dancing. He also has been known to strum a chord or two at an intolerable volume to the annoyance of the people living upstairs, that is, if he is not re-acting the dance scenes from the movie Flash Dance. | <font color=silver>This is Max's first iGEM experience and is hoping for the best with the 2009 University of Alberta team down at MIT.
