uOttawa 2011 iGEM Team
Matthew Orton
I am currently entering my fifth year of Biopharmaceutical Science with an option in Genomics. This is my fourth summer as a member of the uOttawa iGEM Team and since I am now a Co-President, my role on the team is wide ranging, from fundraising to wet lab work to administrative duties. I think what keeps me so engaged in iGEM is its interdisciplinary nature and the opportunity to be creative and innovative in a research environment. Other interests include running, reading and gaming. I really think the uOttawa Team has something truly exceptional and awesome to contribute to the competition this year and I can’t wait for the jamboree(s)!

I am currently entering my second year in Software Engineering and I felt I needed to get involved with something. Participating in iGEM for the first time this summer has been an interesting experience. I may not know too much about synthetic biology, but I did learn quite a bit about designing a website inside a MediaWiki template. Just because the members of this team are epic cool, this geek is looking forward to working alongside them next year as well!
