Team | UIUC iGEM

Meet the UIUC iGEM Team

UIUC_Illinois 2021 iGEM Team is representing University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 6 Illinis(ILL-INI!)-3 studying Bioengineering, 2 studying Biochemistry, 1 studying Integrative Biology-worked on the apPETite project over the summer of 2021. Under the guidance of amazing mentors, the UIUC team worked on creating a better PET degrading enzyme

Members

Mary Cook
Senior in Bioengineering

iGEM has been an amazing experience in that it is student driven research. We had the chance to design our own project with guidance from our mentors and collaborate with other iGEM teams in order to combine research efforts.

Jefrin Joseph
Junior in Molecular Cellular Biology

iGEM has been a really educational opportunity and has given me a greater appreciation for research and the research process. As opposed to a typical research opportunity where we join onto someone else's pre-existing project, iGEM enables us to design our own project from scratch and become thoroughly immersed in the process.

Kristin Lai
Senior in Bioengineering

iGEM is a truly unique experience and I really enjoyed being a part of the UIUC team this year. I appreciated being able to have a direct impact on the design and implementation of our project—it’s unlike any other research I’ve been involved in.

Suva Narayan
Senior in Bioengineering

I had a lot of fun being on the drylab team this year and learned a lot of new things that I could utilize in my own future projects. I also really enjoyed looking at how drylab and wetlab processes come together for a singular project despite being so drastically different in nature.

Royal Shrestha
Junior in Molecular and Cellular Biology Honors

I loved drylab work so much last year that I decided to be part of the wetlab team this year. Lots of great experiences this summer, and the most memorable was coming in at the middle of the night to explore the entire empty research facility!

Angela Yoon
Senior in Integrative Biology

I rejoined for this year because I love to keep learning new things and meeting passionate people. I am so grateful for the support we get for independent group research projects.
