Archie Jiang
- Year: Senior
- I am a Canadian citizen who has been living at Shanghai for pretty much my whole life. I enjoy playing badminton, exploring video games, and above all, birdwatching. In this iGEM team, I am mainly responsible for programming and designing the wiki pages that you are browsing right now.
- Favorite iGEM moment: Seeing the main page function correctly after a day's hard work with Sophie [our designer]
Sophie Li
- Year: Senior
- If it's free time and I'm not drawing, you can bet I'm either at the Biology lab, writing for a magazine, volunteering somewhere across the city, surfing Youtube, or trying to destroy my tongue with some classic Szechuanese spice. Or, lamenting the fact that I still haven't found time to watch Infinity War.
- Favorite iGEM moment: Holding an eppendorf tube full of poison, like a boss... except it probably looked more epic in my mind.
Yasuhiko Komatsu
- Year: Senior
- I like experiencing things firsthand and that also applies to my favorite subject biology. Experiencing biology firsthand does not necessarily mean staying for hours in the lab - I go to local shores and mountains dozens of kilometers away from urban Shanghai to watch birds, insects, mammals, amphibians, and other overlooked compoments of our local ecosystem.
- Favorite iGEM moment: The moment I ejected a pipette tip for the first time. Very few things can feel more satisfying.
Hsin-Yu Lo
- Year: Senior
- I’m Claire, a girl who was born in Taiwan but moved to Shanghai at the age of 4. I found myself labelled with a couple of tags: swimmer, senior struggling with college application, cereal killer, coffee addict, food lover, late night worker and most importantly iGEMer. Spending my time in lab and being the leader for the human practice section has made this summer more complete and fulfilled, whereas I would normally just be a couch potato.
- Favorite iGEM moment: When the entire hallway smells like LB

Xinbo Yu
- Year: Senior
- Learning biology has always been a delight for me, from the smallest of glycoproteins to the most complex of the 37 trillion cells that define us as a functioning human being. The practicality of the subject and the unknown potential that the field has makes it a subject that will affect the lives of future generations. In my free time I also enjoy shadowing physicians and experiencing the careers that interest me first hand with the opportunities given and maintaining my own financial portfolio.
- Favorite iGEM moment: The time spent with the team and the many arguments and discussions made us feel more like a family than just students.
