Team Members

Gurpal Bisra: I am an engineering physics student interested in pursuing bioengineering after I graduate. I joined the iGEM team to further develop my biological skills, work in a fun group environment and apply my engineering skills to a real life biological problem. I have traveled to 14 countries so far and my thirst for adventure never ceases! In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, doing martial arts, making people laugh and playing badminton.

British Columbia Team member 5.png Joe: I am a 4th year science student at UBC, with the interest of virology and molecular genetics. I'm excited to discover what synthetic biology means to me, to my community, and to the world. For me, science is about making connections and iGEM is a great starting point!	British Columbia Team member 6.png Sam	Jacob	Laura: I have many loves in life including: snowboarding, windsurfing, sailing, biking, gardening... AND Biology! I am pumped to be on this year's iGEM team because we are a diverse bunch and have so much to learn from each other!
==Graduate Advisors==	Alina Chan: I am a PhD student in the Hieter lab utilizing yeast as a model eukaryote to research chromosomal instability. This is my second year with the UBC iGEM team and I'm super excited that the team's using yeast to produce monoterpenes. (Boston, here we come!)	Rafael, the fat monkey: oooooooooaaaaahhhhh. I love banannas!!!
