Statistics that are quite relevant to the nature of this experiment
Toxicity of aflatoxin is 10 times that of hydrocyanic acid and 68 times of arsenic.
This disease is the third-leading cause of cancer death globally according to WHO (2008), with about 550,000–600,000 new cases each year.

Senior at Torrey Pines High School
Why I'm Doing iGEM:
I am doing iGEM to carry on the legacy left by our previous team leader, Tareq Younis, and to learn more about the synthetic biology field while practicing skills involved in participating in the jamboree.
Coolest thing about science:
The coolest thing about science is that it (in most cases) seeks to find the truth.
Hobby:
My hobbies involve being a personal pal for friends or online strangers who need help finding direction in their lives, playing League of Legends, reading the news, and seeing my S.O. as frequently as possible.
Career plans:
My career plans involve making use of any opportunity I see fitting as a challenging and rewarding path towards something greater.
Cool Skills:
Skills? Please, I am dabes.

Anisa Malangone
Junior at Torrey Pines High School
Why I'm Doing iGEM: I love learning, especially about science, and have had some great experience in a lab at UCSD with neuroscience, but I was also drawn to synthetic biology and iGEM was the perfect way to learn more.
Coolest thing about science: How much is unknown, and changing and yet to be discovered as well as how different areas of science link together.
Hobby: watching movies like UP, reading things by C.S. Lewis, playing word games like hink pink, collecting quotes with my best friend, going on adventures to different counties, listening to Simon and Garfunkel, hiking at Torrey Pines reserve, having long talks, and of course synthetic biology
Career plans: MD (neurosurgeon) & or PhD (focusing on either neuroscience or bioengineering)
Skills: cooking 30 minute meals in 20 minutes, memorizing 2,500 vocabulary words (and forgetting a plethora of them), seeing the little things in life, solving hink pinks, eating 6 times a day, being there for anyone at anytime
Favorite Quote: So we fix our eyes not is what is seen but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
