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.
