HengYi Zhang

Hi! I’m Zoe ( HengYi Zhang) 💗 As a thrill-seeker，I love trying everything challenging (if it is safe）and then explore my interests widely. It is difficult for me to define what I like to do or what I can do. I always believe life cannot be defined. Push limits and achieve something incredible！As for me, the ideal life has no constraints and I’m free to read novels, listen to music(especially jazz😊), playing guitar and cycling whenever I want.

Peter

Hi, everyone. I’m Peter, and my Chinese name is Jinyan Wang. Xi’an is my hometown and I am 17years old this year. I would like to call myself a questioner because I want to figure out all the things I want to know in the world. Reading and doing experiment is best mean I know to get to the goal. Besides that, I like playing badminton, playing board game and watching films. Detective novels are my favorite, since I love the process of finding the answer by myself.Among all the subjects, biology is the most intriguing one. Thus, I joined Igem and met all my wonderful teammates. I hope we can have a unforgettable experience all all together.

Junran Zhao

Hello everyone, my name is Zanc, and my Chinese name is Junran Zhao. My birthday is on Jan. 17, 2006, which means that I am 14 years old this year. I like to play the violin and soccer in my spare time, and I also enjoy reading books. In the summer of 2019, our family got in contact with iGEM, which is an international biology competition that is held every year at MIT. Although I did not know too much about biology at that time, I am still interested in it. And, although I am one of the youngest team members, I will still hit it with my best shot.

Hi, everyone! My name is Xinyi Chen and you guys can call me Helen as well. I am a high school students from Wenzhou, a coastal city in China.
