Team:BNDS CHINA/Team

Zhuoyi Yang (Joyce):

I’m Zhuoyi Yang from IB program, and the team leader of this year’s team. I was also a team member in last year’s team and I fell in love with the iGEM adventure. In this year, I organised the team member selection and gave training to the new iGEMer in winter holiday. I guided team members to brainstorm projects and separated them to groups to research more deeply on each module. To give better instruction to our team, I invited Cheng Li from Peking University as our instructor, and was in charge of communicating between teachers and the team. I planned for the summer holiday experiment as well as human practice and tried my best to borrow necessary equipments from some labs. Moreover, I distributed tasks to team members in presentation preparation and wiki writing process. It is a great pleasure to worked with my team mates and I hope to be a lifelong iGEMer.

Xilin Yang (Sallina):

I am Xilin Yang, a Grade 12 student from IB program. As a student leader in our team, I participated in recruiting and selecting new team members to start a team. In the stage of research, I selected information about antimicrobial peptides that target on A. hydrophila but are not harmful to E. coli. During summer vacation, I participated in wet lab, including Interlab, constructing parts, and extracting and testing the peptides. In September and October, I took part in planning presentation, writing and revising wiki, and designing poster. iGEM gives me a platform to preview a life for research in lab and my partners' effortless hardwork in the project gives me courage to finish the process.
