Hello, my name is Mohammad Harige and I’m from Persia. I am 17 years old and I study, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Economics. I am striving to study medicine and hopefully become a neurologist. In my spare time I love to listen to music and play football. I am taking part in iGEM as it will allow me to acquire the skills I may need within the duration of medical school (if I get in).

I aim to use ultra-scale down engineering principles for rapid process development. By improving the technology of production of microalgae biofuels, we are hopeful that very soon algae will produce enough energy to fit the worlds demand.

UCL Academy team

UCL supervisors

Mohammad Harige

I am 17 years old, from Persia and I study, Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Economics. I am striving to study medicine and hopefully become a neurologist.
In my spare time I love to listen to music and play football. I am taking part in iGEM as it will allow me to acquire the skills I may need within the duration of medical school (if I get in).

Ardit Hashani

I’m from the small country of Kosovo in Eastern Europe. I study Biology, Chemistry, History and Mathematics at college. I am aspiring for a successful career in Chemistry after finishing university in England. I spend my free time playing football and I love listening to music. I am taking part in iGEM to improve and develop my practical skills, as well as gain a deep insight into the field of synthetic biology.

Abigail Diaz

I'm part of the Wiki team (I spend more than enough time on the Internet already, anyway). I enjoy biology, chemistry, and procrastination. I wanted to be a part of iGEM to be able to get some extra hands-on experience in labs and working around biology, and to get some skills in different areas such as the human practices and wiki.

Athena Kourti

I’m 18 years old and aspire to study biochemistry specifying in molecular biology to become a geneticist. I currently study maths, biology, chemistry and psychology at A2 level and am involved in IGEM to gain experience and knowledge on what I plan to study as well as taking part in an interesting opportunity.

Anna Krowitz

I recently moved to London from South Africa. As well as science subjects I am studying A-level art. I think that the combination of art and science is exciting and I often find inspiration for my art projects in biology class. I have been involved mostly with designing the logos and presentation for the team.

Jessica Balliao

I am currently studying biology, chemistry, mathematics and philosophy at AS level and am hoping to study medicine at university. In my spare time I visit galleries and museums religiously and make the most of what London has to offer. iGem for me was an amazing opportunity, the hands on experience and skills I gained in the labs are invaluable and has enriched my knowledge beyond the AS syllabus.

Hashim Sharif
