Sachintha Ashok
Hi there! My name is Sachintha and iGEM has been one of the best experiences I've ever had. From the many hours of research and having our fingers crossed for results, I have already learned more over this short period of time than any other school year. Ever. When I’m not working on our project, I cherish playing guitar, sketching, and being my friends’ personal therapist.
Abby Bell
Hi there! My name is Abby and I am a senior at Lambert High School! This is my third year on the iGEM team and I have spent a majority of those three years doing lab work for our projects. When I am not in the lab or doing homework, I enjoy being involved at my church, spending time in my craft room, reading, and spending time outdoors with friends/family.
Monica Cho
Hey there! My name is Monica and I am a junior at Lambert High School! As a second year iGEM member, I can confidently say that working alongside my advisors and team members have been one of the best experiences in my life. I enjoy the many hours that we spend in the lab despite the fact that we are in a hurry to get results to load in the wiki! Outside of iGEM, I enjoy spending time with my dog Coco and watching Grey’s Anatomy. Although virtual, I am looking forward to meeting everyone at Jamboree!!
Madhav Gulati
Hi! My name is Madhav Gulati and I'm a sophomore! This is my first year in iGEM, and I am really excited to be part of the team. I feel like I've already learned so much working with a group of really bright and dedicated iGEM members and advisors. I love science and computers, and in my free time, you can probably find me working on a new app or project. I enjoy playing guitar, programming and spending time with my friends and family.
Aryan Gupta
Spending my mornings begrudgingly getting out of bed at early is definitely not my forte, but each of those mornings have been full of exciting and interesting times with some of the most talented people I have ever met. When I’m not helping out the hardware team you can find me cracking joke, tinkering, or probably sleeping.
Ruth Hong
Hi! My name is Ruth Hong and I’m a senior. iGEM has truly been one of the coolest experiences of my life, and I’ve learned so much from the rest of the team as well as furthered my passion for synthetic biology. When not doing iGEM or school, I love to volunteer with kids at my church, make jewelry, knit/crochet, read, and search for the best bubble tea in Atlanta!
