Hi, I’m Gökçe :) I graduated  with a degree in Biology and currently I’m taking lectures to start the Bioinformatics graduate program at Middle East Technical University. After learning there is a huge unknown world of Syntehic Biology, I became more curious about synthetic Biology.  This is my first year in iGEM.  When I heard igem, I directly jumped into because this is a great opportunity for me to get knowledge about Synthetic biology, meet new people and have fun at the same time :) In this team, as a biologist, I am the bridge in between the partsregistry and software team.  I am working on  a database which contains bilateral relations between biobricks in Partsregistry.

Hi, I am Gökhan. :) I am a Computer Engineer. And this year, I will start studying the scientific preperation class in Bioinformatics Department of Middle East Technical University, as an MSc. student. This is my first year in genetics science and iGEM. Although I'm a computer scientist; I always like genetics and working in the lab environment. I think iGEM is a perfect way to improve my knowledge on genetics. In our team, I am responsible of software development. Good luck for all teams! :)

Hi, I'm Güngör. I'm one of the undergraduate students in the iGEM team METU-BIN and studying Biology major at Middle East Technical University (METU). So I'm learning a great science Biology but at the same time, my deep interest in computer sciences takes me to that area as well. When I was taking some advice on Bioinformatics, which is the application of computer science and information technology to the field of biology and medicine, by Assoc. Prof. Yeşim AYDIN SON, she told me about the competition and the field synthetic biology. After a quick search on the Internet, I found this area amazing, and eventually I was one of the member of the METU-BIN. In the team, my contributions were to get the relational data of bioparts in PartsRegistry and save it in a standard way for computer engineers to use it. Then, I coded and designed the wiki page, and also I designed the team logo.
