Just graduated from St. Mark’s and headed to the University of Virginia as a Jefferson Scholar. Basketball, football, and leadership are my three biggest hobbies. I joined the biology club because I liked the leadership initiative, and I helped to write the mission statement. When it comes to the actual biology, I’m way out of my league, but it’s fun to help out my friends.

Gopal is a freshman at St. Mark’s and served as the Projects Manager of the Biology Club. In iGEM, he worked under the Applied Research Division. He also plays tennis for the Varsity team and is one of the Co-Presidents of the Philosophy Club. Other than science, he loves the literary arts and is the student vice-chair of the Literary Festival. He also writes for the Marque and The ReMarker.
