Hello world! I’m Alexis, a student from Shenzhen College of International Education, blue-haired. This is my second year participating in iGEM but the first time as a team leader. It’s a huge challenge towards my mettle, especially when the transformation keeps failing and colony PCR shows no correct results. Then usually I would listen to Paciencia y Fe by Lin-Manuel Miranda and continue working. Anyway, iGEM is suffering while enjoying.
Outside iGEM, I’m a fan of musical theater, an equestrian enthusiast, and a student doing excellent in Business Studies but hate this subject.
Role in team:
- Project design and literal research
- Coordinating different groups in the team
- Responsible for knocking out genes in yeast and spent the entire summer in lab
- Social (although sometimes I’m kinda social-phobic..)
