I find microbiology very interesting and lab work helps me understand the concepts. I love community service and I am involved numerous awareness activities in India and Waltham.

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.

Edward Lo: Hi, my name is Edward Lo and I am currently a junior at Waltham High school. My hobbies include playing the piano and playing tennis. I decided to join to iGEM Club because it interested me in how high school kids could customize their bacteria to perform different tasks. My job on the team is to do lab work and to provide help in the wiki and other things that need to be done. Role: Lab technician and wiki editor.

Mina Antic: Hi! I’m a junior at Waltham High School, and always been interested in the sciences (the reason why I’m in the Synthetic Bio Club and why I’m working on this team). Biology is probably (read: definitely) going to be my major when I leave high school and I thought this project would be a good experience. But besides that, I enjoy playing volleyball, painting, and sleeping. Particularly sleeping, which I don’t do as much as I want to. Role: Lab technician and wiki editor.

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 a 8 students, our biology teacher, and a parent who is serving as our advisor.
