Last summer, I worked with a graduate student in the Biochemistry department at Brandeis University.

Using that experience combined with the AP Biology class under Mrs. Maddox taken in the 2013-2014 school year, I have developed skills and experience highly adequate for use in synthetic biology. | + | '''Michael Perlow:''' I am a recent graduate of Waltham High School, in the class of 2014.

Team
Our team consists of students currently enrolled in AP Biology and a few aspiring biology students. Once we were introduced to the idea of iGEM, people who enjoy science and wanted a hands on experience in laboratories came together to form the BioHawks team. Our team consists of 8 students, our biology teacher, and a parent who is serving as our advisor.
Rutvi Bhatt: Hi, I am Rutvi and I am a BioHawk. I love biology and learning about stuff we experience in everyday life. I find microbiology very interesting and lab work helps me understand the concepts. I love community service and I am involved in numerous awareness activities in India and Waltham. I am in charge of making the wiki for iGEM and helping plan the project. I look forward to presenting our project at MIT and making Waltham proud!!
