LIN Qiaojin:
The most fascinating thing I find about iGEM is that it has always been surprising me with its vivid illustration of how powerful synthetic biology can possibly be. As a member of 2010 HKUST iGEM Team, I took up the role as an advisor in this year’s team, hoping to experience this synthetic biology feast one more time, from a different perspective.

JIANG Hanlun:
iGEM is a great place where we not only share our ideas, but also realize them by working as a team. I was fortunate to be a member of the 2010 HKUST iGEM team. This year, as an advisor, I witnessed the development of a brand new iGEM team, which was exciting and inspiring.

WANG Haoqing:
Hello everyone, here is Yimo, a positive person crazy for both sports and life science. I was also a memeber of last year's HKUST iGEM Team member. I'm glad to carry on my iGEM experience by serving as an advisor this year. I really enjoy the great time with all the other members, advisors and instructors, from whom I learned quite a lot. Things were so great, thank you guys!

LU Wei & LI Zhuo:
We were members of the HKUST iGEM 2010 team and are currently serving as advisors for this year's UST team. We really enjoyed the process of understanding and solving problems, with all our fellow teammates, advisors and instructors, using every bit of our intellect and dedication. It is great to witness the 2011 team grow & good luck to HKUST iGEM 2011!

SU Min Hui:
I am Audrey Su, a Year 2 Biochemistry student. I am an adviser of the HKUST team, and I will be a volunteer for the Asian Jamboree. The two years' iGEM experience has enhanced my understanding of Synthetic Biology and love for this promising scientific field. iGEM is a learning process with both pains and fun.

ZHU Lin:
Hi, there. I am a Junior student majoring in biochemistry. During my second year of iGEM, I found myself entering a deeper level of the life science world. Just can't help appreciate lives during this process.

DENG Yisong, Steven, Yr1 MBMS:
I am Steven, a Year 1 student majoring in Molecular Biomedical Sciences. During this summer, I learned a lot about synthetic biology and basic lab skills. Moreover, iGEM taught me how to work cooperatively with all of my teammates and achieve our goals as a whole.

HO Yuan Heng, Trevor, Yr2 MBMS: By putting genes together we intimate the act of creation by God, and from failures in doing so I learned that God has patented his creations

CHEN Yiyun, Cynthia, Yr1 BICH:
Thanks to iGEM, I have really learned a lot during this sumer. It's great to have a whole team working together for our goal. We love iGEM~

I am Vincent Tong and I am a Year 2 student studying Biochemistry. It is my first time to know more about synthetic biology. In the project, I am very delighted to learn different wet lab skills like miniprep. and aseptic techniques. Moreover, I met many friends from different places and I was happy to chat with them. Thank you so much for iGEM HKUST.

LU Yang, Michael, Yr1 BICH
iGEM is an exciting exploration for me, while it is a really great challenge for me as well. I knew nothing about synthetic biology before joining iGEM, but I have been working on a complex synthetic biology project for 3 months up to now. I am surprised and proud about what I have done in this period. I have learnt a lot from iGEM, not only biotechnology, but also the art of teamwork. And I got precious friendship with all the other team members as well. I love iGEM and I love HKUST 2011 iGEM team!

YUE Lu, Yellow, Yr1 BICH:
The synthetic biology is an extremely interesting and magical thing especially when you deal with the little and cute lives that can not be seen by eyes.Based the current knowledge, actually what we can control is not so much and it always gives us a lot of surprise. Just learn form it and maybe a new finding will come to us!

WU Yunmin, Claire, Yr1 BICH:
Synthetic biology applies what we have to make up what we want, just like building up Lego. The magic lies in that the final product can never be predicted based on the raw materials we have so far. Even though today we are still at a preliminary stage, where changing or synthesizing a segment of DNA may cost a lot of money and effort, we are determined to master it one day. Just one more thing to notice, the stronger the power, the more careful we have to be to deal with it.
