Individual Contributions
Clara Yim
Team Leader
As one of the team leaders, Clara completed most of the administrative tasks, such as registering the team with the school and meeting the iGEM competition requirements. She was also a part of the biology team, engaging in the design and coding processes to create the most appropriate biosensor model. As a part of the Human Practices team as well, she organized meet-ups with other Korean teams and international organizations.
Jinha
Team Leader
Jinha as one of the team leaders took responsibility for administrative tasks along with collaboration with other teams in Korea, notably KUAS. Furthermore, as part of the biology team, Jinha took responsibility for the coding process for creating the biosensor model as well as the wiki. Also taking a major role in the proposed implementation, he actively researched possible, realistic applications of the biosensor model around the world, contacting with various key figures and organizations for the end goal of providing a cheap yet effective way of detecting contaminated wheat. Overall, he has enjoyed actively participating in the team!
Brian (Jeongwoo) Cho
Multimedia Leader
Brian (Jeongwoo Cho), given his position as multimedia and video leader, has contributed through methods such as taking photos and recording videos of various meetings that our group had attended. Furthermore, he has been assigned to create two videos, one describing the fundamental concept of the topic addressed by our group (promotion video) and another outlining the numerous tasks we have completed throughout the process of developing our project. Finally, he organizes all the resources he has collected in order to create the wiki.
Hanjoo Lee
Hanjoo has contributed mainly to human practices where he passionately helped the co-leaders in the campaign process and the high school education program along with taking roles in collaboration by contacting multiple experts in the field of biosensor. Furthermore, Aiden led the logo and poster design process.
Ian Kim
Ian has contributed in different categories of the project, doing a little bit of everything. He worked on coming up with questions to ask during interviews, wrote how our project would affect the Sri Lankan farmers for a part of the proposed implementation, and organized the contribution section for the project. He was also in charge of contacting the team’s mentor and asked her for advice whenever the team was unsure how to approach a certain criteria.
Myeongjin Shin
Myeongjin contributed to the safety form, Bio part (specifically the protocol), posters, and Engineering success. He also searched papers for modeling and found/organized useful data for this project with his chemical and biological knowledge. He summarized the detection method and information about aflatoxin, found appropriate spectroscopic methods to detect aflatoxin from foods in some researches, and summarized the protein extraction method.
Sarah Yim
Biology Leader
As the team co-leader of the biology sector, Sarah has mainly contributed to the scientific components of the project, cooperating in the construction of the overall biological design and participating in interviews to discuss the biological aspects of the topic. She has also taken considerable part in the human practices as she implements applied mathematics to create graphs and analyze data collected from research. She has developed ideas for campaigns, the high school education program, interviews, and survey analysis.
Taejoo Lee
Human Practices Leader
Taejoo has contributed mainly by serving as the co-leader for human practices and economy along with partaking major roles in interviews and collaboration. He took part in the high school education program and contacted many professors and organizations along with being in charge of the campaign process and survey analysis. He also used his expertise in economics to make the sensor more economical and feasible for the low-income farmers.
Instructors
Rose Tyvand
Dr. Tyvand, our AP Chemistry/Biology teacher and our primary instructor, helped the team understand the specific details of the project and also gave us feedback on the final copy of our protocol. Her input was very important for the completion of the project and her help was greatly appreciated.
Jae Eun Kil
Ms. Kil helped us a lot throughout the project. She helped lead the team through the complex biological aspect of our project including vector plasmids, CYP1A2, E-coli, etc. She also used her multiple connections with the Sri Lankan community to help us find connections with many of the farmers there through Dreamspace Academy in order to get our interviews and surveys.
Semyung Shin
Ms. Shin helped the whole team understand the concept of mass producing CYP1A2 enzymes. She made sure that every member in the team correctly understood what was being done in our project and the biological principles that were behind the steps. She also helped us contact other teams from Korea introducing us to some college teams in Korea such as KUAS.
Minji Kim
Ms. Kim helped the team design the wiki for our project. As a web designer, she helped us make the wiki look like something we wanted. She also helped us on the coding aspect of the wiki as well, providing active support for the team whenever something in the codes went wrong and put out a strange output.
Advisors
Dr. Jim Gerhard
Dr. Gerhard, the highschool principal of Seoul International School, supervised the education sessions that we held online. He gave permission for us to campaign online and supported our iGEM project throughout the competition.
Claudia Troncone
Ms. Troncone was our iGEM mentor that provided us with feedback throughout the whole project. Whenever the team was not sure what to do, we could turn to Ms. Troncone.
Dr. Jin Gyo Kim
Dr. Kim, a professor of Seoul National University, provided us with feedback on the biological aspect of the project and supervised the making of the protocol.
