Adviser
Hello, I’m Jiping Zhao, a doctoral student majoring in Microbiology and Synthetic biology. I mainly study the functional modification of nanoparticles by using microorganisms. I love music, food, travel, and prefer a free heart, although most of my time is spent in the lab now. I have provided a lot of guidance on this year’s iGEM experimental work.
Hi, my name is Yang Jun. I am so glad to participate in iGEM again. From the iGEM competition, I have learned a lot of new knowledge and made many new friends. I also gained a lot of experience in last year’s competition. I am very happy that I can teach these experiences to New iGEMers as an advisor this year. I love working in the lab and wish our team can do better work this year!
Hello everyone, I am the leader of the previous year who is happy to advise this passionate team. I am particularly interested in utilizing synthetic biology as a tool to change the landscape of the human world, and this concept perfectly fits the project’s rationale, wherein genetically modified bacteria are made for defending against desertification. We are facing tremendous pressure under the pandemic this year. However, this team still accomplishes their work with great efforts and good organization. I undoubtedly believe they could be successful in this year’s competition. We can live in a world that we design!
Hello, I am Mengmeng Xu, a senior majoring in chemical biology. I was the team leader of XJTU-iGEM last year and also mainly responsible for wet experiments.
The iGEM competition ignited my deep enthusiasm for synthetic biology. After last year’s training, I have been able to master a lot of experimental skills and scientific research methods. I have also provided some guidance to this year’s team. This year’s topic on artificial soil crust is very interesting and promising！Fighting！
Qian Chenxing, a senior student in XJTU, a distinctive constant optimist in campus, an awkwardly mawkish audience in front of touching plots during music dramas, a biology geek preferring computation and modeling rather than tedious lab work, a contemplator in systematizing life-science into generalised broad-sense theories, a devoted follower in deconstruction philosophy methodology, a enthusiast on data analysis and processing, once endeavouring almost all time for 2019-XJTU team for modeling work as well as some part of product detection, now serving as one of advisors for 2020-XJTU team on certain plights and problems they may meet in near future researching, could actually be even 100 times more handsome than the personable gentleman smiling in the shining photograph has shown above.
Student Leader
Hello everyone, my name is Wang Weizhe. This is my second year in IGEM competition and I’m honored to be the team leader of XJTU-China. Li Jialu and I are working together to make sure everyone in the team can give full play to their strengths. I am involved in various parts of our project, including wet lab, HP activities, art designer and so forth. Although we are facing many difficulties this year, I believe by working together, we will be invincible!
Hi, guys！I am Jialu Li. It is my second year participating in iGEM but first time serving as a team leader. I am involved in various parts of our project, such as experiment designing, HP, even art designing. But my main focus is the project designing together with Wang Weizhe and coordinating groups as a whole in which we can make adjustments in time to solve the problems and optimize our project. I am really glade to work with all my teammates, and enjoy my time in iGEM.
Student Member
I’m Xufan Gao, a junior student who major in chemical biology. It was a pity to miss our team last year, so I come back with skills and determination.
I act as the leader of the dry lab and participate in HP too. This year we built three fascinating models, two of which are highly associated with ecology. To coordinate with the project, We spent months collecting papers, debugging programs, especially searching for the annoying parameters.
“Sitting in a room, simulating the world.” It is cool to do experiments on the computer. I hope our project will provide you with a pleasant journey!
Hello, my name is Cheng Yufei. I’m honored to be a member of the XJTU-iGEM team. As the leader of hardware , I responsible for the hardware part and build up a incubator, which is a small house and a testing place for our sand fixers
Howdy! This is Elliot(ZHANG Weiping) from Xi’an Jiaotong University, majoring in chemical biology. Fascinated in editing everything, like computer programs, football tactics and, of course, plasmid and gene. In XJTU-China, I’m proud to be a member in the wet lab. Although my lab experience is not that rich as the senior, I still proceed some basic parts of the wet experiments under their instruction, namely, colony culture and plasmids construction. And it is during the construction of plasmids that I get the joy of editing in IGEM.
Hello guys! I’m JerryChan from XJTU.In the team, I am mainly responsible for the experimental research and planning of the experimental and HP group, as well as the general director of TeamVideo (yes, it’s me to be blamed). It is the first time for me to become a IGEMer, and I am full of anticipation and curiosity about this project. It’s so pity that I cannot meet all of you this time due to the epidemic.I hope all of you will be safe and sound.Best wishes for all IGEMers.
My name is Liu Jia-Ning. From BioChemistry81, XJTU, China.
Before the experiment, my job was to find important gene sequences, such as PGMA gene and galU gene, and match them with the position on the plasmid.
My experimental work is to deal with the chemical experiment problems in the project, such as the detection of soil physical and chemical properties, providing first-hand information for modeling Bacillus subtilis, and determining the content of secreted polysaccharides.
Hello everyone, I’m Li Qian, an ordinary junior. My major is biotechnology.I’ve always had a passion for biology.I mainly participated in the experimental part, and also participated in some activities of the hardware group and HP group.This year allowed me to gain a lot, meet a lot of new friends, exercise my experimental skills, and learn a lot of relevant knowledge.I am very honored to join the school team and come to iGEM for continuous learning and growth.
My name is Wan Yihui. I am a bricklayer in the experiment group at the igem team of Xi’an Jiaotong University. I will go to the lab as a hard worker in my spare time. I am participating in igem to broaden my horizons and enrich my experience. After getting along with the plasmid for a while, I discovered the charm of synthetic biology, which deeply attracted me. IGEM opens a door to synthetic biology to me, and I realized that it is completely different from the dull knowledge in textbooks. Science is really interesting!
Hi, I am Tianyi Zhang. I’m a member of dry lab and team of human practice. I participated in two parts of our modeling work: Suicide and Expansion. I paid the main part of my attention on the logic and efficiency of our model to illustrate our project better. It’s really a hard but interesting work! Moreover, I and my teammates went to Yulin(Shaanxi, China) to get information about desertification management and biological soil crust.
Hello, friends of iGEM! It’s a great honor to join you in this event. I am Shangjie Wei, a newcomer to iGEM. In this journey, I mainly participated in the design and production of experimental content and hardware. I am an outgoing and talkative boy who also like life science very much. Here I met a lot of excellent students and teachers, but also learned a lot of new knowledge and skills. This is an unforgettable and interesting story. Would you like to hear that?
I am Muchen Zhong，now a sophomore majoring in law. As a liberal arts student, my relationship with igem is also very wonderful.
I mainly participated in the HP, for soil sample contact, questionnaire making and material preparation of MOOC video. Although I am mainly involved HP, I also participate in inspiration and literature review when the project incubates.
As a liberal arts student, it is very precious to me to change the status quo of desertification in the way of science.
