Xuze Shao, from SHSBNU, grade 11. Prime artistic designer of team SHSBNU_China. Xuze has a good sense of doing science research, though not being a biology-focused student. This future architect is here to prove he also has the ability of critical thinking and scientific research. He and Yuanhong designed the team posters and T-shirts. Thought he has some small weaknesses like he is careless sometimes, but he believes that he can overcome these problems in the contest and proof himself. He also hopes that his effort on them SHSBNU_China can help the whole team win a gold price.
Chenyu Li, from SHSBNU grade 11. He is a student that who fonds of biology and Psychology. He is the president of synthetic biology club in SHSBNU. In junior high school, he got interested in biology was because of an experiment of tissue culture. Running into synthetic biology field is an unexpected opportunity for him. In high school, he is learning SAT Biology, AP Biology and AP Psychology course. His dream is to become a psychiatrist or genetic consultant. In his spare time, he loves reading biology journals, watching documentaries related to biology and speaking Klingon language.
Yanjun Zhou, from SHSBNU grade 11. Biology became her preferred major since she was in middle school, and now the opportunity comes. What is beyond her imagination is that she can compete with teams from around the world via doing biology experiments. It is definitely a challenge to her as this is the first time she worked in an iGEM team However, she appreciates the chance to learn not only genetic biology more deeply but also the importance of collaboration. Outside the competition, she holds several positions in the school activities, such as the propaganda minister of the coffee shop, the reporter of the newspaper, the member of the student union and so on. In a nut shell, she is looking forward to taking part in iGEM and she believe that all her efforts will pay off!
Yijia Yuan, from SHSBNU grade 11. She is interested in Biology. Whatever how busy she is, she keeps studying Biology as a hobby. Also, she is interested in human health care and medicine due to her family back ground. Last summer vacation, she spent 2 weeks to learn relevant classes in UCLA. There will be no surprise that her ideal job is doctor. Moreover, she has other hobbies including traveling, drawing, and watching movies.
Wenrui Hu, from SHSBNU, grade 11. She has a very deep interest in biology, especially bio-engineering and has make this as a college major option, which is the main reason she decided to join SHSBNU_China. She is particularly interested in biology experiments. She is excited with every chance doing an iGEM experiment, and always makes her best designing and doing it. This is her first time attending iGEM, she wishes her team could constantly strive toward the Gold medal.
Fangning Luo, from SHSBNU grade 11. She is interested in various activities such as playing piano and painting. Among all the activities she enjoys, having experiment relating to biotic engineering is the most meaningful one because it gives her chances to cooperate with others to do research and finish a project. Listening to light music and watching anime are also her hobbies.
Tieqiong Zhang, from SHSBNU, grade 11. Being a freshman on genetic engineering, he spared no efforts to absorb the main point of basic operations. Within a year, he can do much better in experiments and appreciate the perceptions behind every action. He took part in experiments and modelling works. He is an active learner, always learning a lot from. not only the team’s iGEM project, but also in course work and future learning. The joy from learning, especially in biology, math, and physics, is his motivation of joining the iGEM competition.
Ang Li, from SHSBNU, grade 11. He is the subject representative of biology in the first term of Grade 10. He has dabbled in genetic engineering and paleontology, and his future subject is genetic engineering or biological evolution. His goal is to get a doctor degree, and to become a geneticist or paleontologist in the future.
Yuanhong Zeng, from SHSBNU, grade 11. He is the researcher and co-artistic designer of the team. He has the talent of a biologist and an artist. He attends this competition because he is interested in the technology of synthetic biology, and he wants to step further in this field in the future.
Boyuan Xin, from SHSBNU grade 11. A boy with a mind full of thoughts. He comes to join the team to enhance his biological knowledge. Biological study is always his hobby. He made effort to boost our experimental process.
