MEET THE TEAM

1. BALUKU ERIKAN
   
   

   A 21 year old student at Makerere University pursuing a Bachelor's degree of Biomedical Laboratory Technology currently in his final year.
   
   Hobbies: Watching soccer, dancing, watching movies, swimming and making new friends.
   He had a passion about synthetic biology which inspired him to participate in IGEM and he is ready to continue with his career in synthetic biology.
   
   Personal words: I have got an excellent experience with the team where i have learnt various skills in research especially in the field of molecular biology, interaction with different people from various universities and communication of scientific based information. Furthermore, I have come to know different companies that enhance synthetic biology like Twist bioscience, Promega, and IDT across the world.




2. Alex Kyabarongo. (Team Leader)
   
   

   Alex is an undergraduate student at Makerere University in his third year pursuing a Ba. Veterinary Medicine with particular interest in PUBLIC HEALTH, EPIDEMILOGY and VETERINARY PREVENTIVE MEDICINE. He enjoys traveling especially with his dog in game parks, touring natural resources, but sometimes training leadership, motivation and mentorship to the young generation though a scientist ha-ha. Not forgetting his free time soccer fun and reading.
   
   Why iGEM? As Synthetic Biology is a relatively young area of science, I feel there is a lot of unexplored territory to investigate, and that makes iGEM a particularly pioneering, exciting, and challenging research opportunity.

   
   

   “I have had great time being part of this amazing team of iGEM Makerere University 2018, I have learnt a lot, I have been transformed in the world of synthetic biology and its dynamics and on how to deal with deadlines, I hope for the best at the jamboree in Boston.”

3. David Wagaba
   
   

   I am a student at Makerere University pursuing a Bachelor's in Veterinary Medicine currently in my third year. I am 20 years old. I have a passion for science and life.
   I joined the team because I wanted to find out more knowledge about Molecular and synthetic biology. I also wanted a live platform to get to apply the newly acquired skills of computer science (especially in web design) during the making of the wiki.
   I thank IGEM for I have obtained some experience which i will use on future projects.

4. Sarah Kyoyagala
   
   

   I am a third year student at Makerere University pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medicine.
   I love swimming, watching movies, visiting new places, interacting with people and making new friends.
   I had love and a passion to find out about synthetic biology and this motivated me to join the team.
   I have had a very wonderful experience with my fellow team members and I got to learn a number of things which include; communication skills and research.
