Aaron Hakim is a junior in Yale College originally from Toronto, Ontario. He is in a combined BS/MS program in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Aaron worked full-time this summer, completing the bulk of the research work.

Chidi Akusobi is a senior at Yale University majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He currently conducts research in a virology lab where he investigates how bacteriophages can be made more lethal against enterohemorrhagic E. coli. Chidi helped with fundraising and survival assays.

Alexander Li is a senior majoring in biochemistry. He enjoys music, basketball, and tinkering with equipment in lab. Alex helped develop the proposal for the project and conducted the rat tissue assays.

Darren Zhu was a sophomore at Yale University majoring in Chemistry and Mathematical Economics. He's currently taking a leave of absence from Yale to pursue a startup venture in Silicon Valley. Darren also worked full-time this summer.

Durga Thakral is a senior in Yale College majoring in Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics. Her interests include ribosome-binding antibiotics, cell-free protein synthesis, and drug delivery. Durga helped with many aspects of the project as a part-time summer researcher.
