The Team

---

	Christina Savvides Christina Savvides is an 11th grader at PEA from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and the student team leader of Exeter's iGEM team. She has been fascinated with biology and experimentation from a young age with mosquitoes’ larvae and crayfish as common subjects of study in her homemade basement lab. While taking AP Biology three years ago, her interest turned to molecular genetics.		Alex Song Alex is a member of the Phillips Exeter Academy Class of 2015 from Waterloo, Canada. He became interested in biology through computer programming, being introduced to the field through a seminar on computational biology. He then took a full-year high school biology course, which gave him a broader view of the study of biology with laboratory methods. He aspires to be an applied mathematician.
	Charis Edwards Charis Edwards is a 14 year old from Duluth, Minnesota. She has a special interest in studying drug-resistant bacterial infection and would like to work to decrease stigma and increase education about disease, medical care and hygiene in the Middle East, after graduate school.		Cat O'Donnell Cat is a lover of cats and easy math tests. She hails from Alaska, where she spends her time skiing and wrestling bears. She is a firm believer that what can go wrong will go wrong, but that has given her a special skill in creating contingency plans. She one day hopes to take over the world using fracking runoff detecting e. coli cells.
	Reginald Lamaute Description of this person		Melody Nguyen Hello, my name is Melody Nguyen. I’m from Vietnam and I am a Lower (grade 10) at Phillips Exeter Academy. My time is filled with fumbling on the piano, lab work (for iGEM) socializing with friends, and community service. I love learning new things and meeting new people. When I’m not overloaded with work, I like to spend my downtime either sleeping or drinking a cup of matcha green tea while browsing the internet for current events and fun things to read, watch, or listen. I'm looking towards pursuing a career in the field of medicine.
	Connie Cai Connie Cai is a current ninth grader at PEA. She loves biology because of its ability to explain our origins, and how everything came to be. Other than reading about biology, she loves to play tennis, violin, piano, and she listen to music. She hopes that she can continue to do iGEM throughout her years and continue to grow as a scientist and biologist and be able to conduct more fascinating experiments.		Janice Chung Janice Chung, an upper at PEA, is excited to join the iGEM experience. She has always had a deep interest in the sciences and is delighted to work in the lab. Outside of iGEM, she enjoys playing violin, golfing, skiing, and painting.
