Vadim Gladwill
Vadim is a senior undergraduate student majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology. He was a member of the 2010 Nevada iGEM team, which won a silver medal. Vadim greatly enjoyed his iGEM experience last summer and decided to come back this summer with a greater understanding of molecular biology. Vadim’s main goals are to finish his bachelor’s degree, get accepted into medical school, and become a surgeon. Vadim’s hobbies include: traveling, sports, and spending time with family and friends. You can contact Vadim through email: vadimgladwill@yahoo.com
Megan Tabor
Megan is working towards a degree in Biotechnology at the University of Nevada Reno. She will graduate in the fall of 2012. This is the first year that she has joined the iGEM team. She is very excited to use her molecular biology skills during this summer’s research. This summer her focus in iGEM is to use Bay Laurel Thioesterase in E. coli to produce medium chained fatty acids. The medium chained fatty acids can be used to produce biodiesel. After graduation Megan plans on achieving a research position in the field of genetic engineering. During her time away from the lab Megan enjoys spending time with her friends and family, and doing outdoor activities with her dog Ebony.You can contact her at tabormi22@gmail.com.

Info!
Ronald Truong
Ronald is a junior at UNR studying biochemistry and molecular biology. He is pursuing a career as a medical doctor although, he is currently unsure of what kind of doctor he wants to be yet. Outside of labs, Ronald is normally busy studying for classes; running AMSA (pre-med club) at UNR; playing the viola with the UNR symphony; or prepping for MCATs. During his very limited free time, Ronald is quite fond of paddling his kayak around Lake Tahoe and reading GQ; Top Gear; and New England Journal of Medicine. Strongtruong@gmail.com
David Koehn
David is a biochemistry and molecular biology major. He is also studying traditional chemistry and plans to pursue graduate studies in drug design and development. David is a part of the ADP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase (AGP) knockout/Gibson Assembly sub-group for Nevada's iGEM team. In his free time, David loves to cook with friends and indulge in the beauty of the Western United States. He also likes to rock out on the guitar with Dru Nelson. You can email David at: koehn.david@yahoo.com.
Marguerite Christian
Marguerite is a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major at the University of Nevada, Reno; and is currently a Junior. She aspires to do genetic research with CYP450 genes later in her career. She is currently working on the thiE knockout/glf knock-in construct for the Cyanobacteria portion of the project. You can contact Marguerite at marguerite_christian@yahoo.com.

Chris Clifford
Chris Clifford will be a junior biochemistry undergraduate at the University of Nevada Reno. His future plans include applying to medical school in the summer of 2012. In the lab, Chris spends most of his time conducting simple procedures and playing catch up with the rest of the team since he is still learning necessary lab techniques. His other interests include, playing for the UNR Orchestra, volunteering at local clinics and hospitals, being the chapter president of the UNR AMSA club, and getting his hands on basically anything medical related. He also plans on being a member of the Nevada iGEM team for 2012.
