Introducing:
Our Team
Pratik Shah: Dr. Pratik Shah was one of the main advisors since the start of our research project. He gave us positive reinforcement and was very open-minded. He not only shared his knowledge but also his experience with a previous iGEM competition that he helped a team from Denmark. He was very generous in letting us use his lab when we had a hard time finding a place where we could conduct our research. Dr. Pratik Shah assisted us in analyzing every experiment according to the results we get every week.
Seongwook Yang: Dr. Seongwook Yang was the first to open up his laboratory to us as well as advise and mentor us in the very beginning of starting our research. He helped us with the brainstorming stage and gave us many valuable insights as to creating a unique and impactful project. He also was one of our biggest sponsors for our initial funding stage with his company XenoHelix.
Milan Balaz: Dr. Milan Balaz was cooperative in helping us on how to find financial support by contacting investors. He also gave us advice on the nanoparticle part of our research as he specializes in Chiral nanoparticles, DNA templated nano-assemblies, and other research protocols.
Hari Chandana: Hari Chandana is a 2nd-year Ph.D. student who assisted us whenever we needed help on doing experiments in the lab. Hari also gave us advice while sharing her experiences in the lab which helped us to conduct our experiments without difficulties.
