Siyuan (Teresa) Zhou
Hello folks, I am Siyuan (Teresa) Zhou from Shanghai, China. I am currently a
freshman studying in Shanghai World Foreign Language Academy. I am fascinated by chemistry, biology,
and gene editing technology. As a member of the dry team, I also enjoy propagandizing and doing HP
activities. I took part in writing science promoting articles, designing questionnaire, and doing
background information research, etc. Outside the field of this program, I am a big fan of maths and
social science. In here I met like-minded people who are of profound knowledge as well as great
humor. It’s truly fun to collaborate with my supportive team members to thrive for an epic result.
Yike（Becky ）Liu
Hi, guys! I’m Becky Liu from Zhengzhou Foreign Language School. I am a member
in the dry team from PEToracity. I have strong interests in social science, especially in the
humanities aspect. I am also addictive to exercising such as long-distance running and playing table
tennis. Being a member in this team, I could not only learn a lot about the biological knowledge and
communicate with outstanding peers, but also know how to do a research, an interview or writing a
publicizing passage. With so many excellent and versatile teammates, I believe this program will be
an excellent opportunity to bring out the best of myself and foster academic ability.
Meihui Wu
Hi everyone, my name is Meihui Wu. I’m currently studying at Basis
International School Park Lane Harbor. I love to try new things and explore new fields, for example,
I’m learning and practicing boxing during this summer break. I’m also a big fan of hand-crafting,
movies, and the MONOPOLY game. This is the first time I participate in iGEM as a member of the dry
team. I think this is a very helpful experience for me to learn how to collaborate with my teammates
to perfect our project. I particularly like the part that iGEM is a comprehensive project including
both modern biology and social practices. I’m pretty confident about our team and looking forward to
our final result!!
Yao（Claire）Xu
Hello guys! I'm Claire Xu, 17 years old old from Jiangsu Tianyi High School in
China. This is my frist time participating in the IGEM competition. I show a lot of interest in
Biology and Psychology. I'm willing to listen to, communicate and collaborate with people. The
competition offers me the opportunity to access different people from different places and have a
deep understanding of the specific academic knowledge. Finally, I believe with our joint efforts, we
can win the competition.
Yining (Wendy) Wu
Hi, I’m Yining (Wendy) Wu from China. I am currently studying at YK Pao School
in Shanghai. Coincidentally, business studies and biology are my two favorite academic subjects
which are also the two most notable parts of iGEM project. Plus, I got some other skills that can
help me complete this project better, for instance art. In spare time I usually go rock climbing and
hiking at suburbs around the city to take a break from the stress of schoolwork. I am grateful to be
a part of the dry team of iGEM PEToracity, it allows me to get in touch with both publicity, human
practice , marketing and so on.
Yige（Sarah）Li
Hi folks, My name is Sarah Li and I am a rising junior in Charlotte Latin
School. I was born in Wenzhou, China, but I am currently studying in Charlotte, NC, United States. I
am interested in music, engineering, and math. I am happy to be a part of the 2021 iGEM PEToracity
team, also I am very grateful to meet all our group members. In our team, I take part in writing the
wiki web, interviewing professors, and generating ideas. I hope I could enjoy the journey with iGEM
and explore more in the dry team!
