            I am in my fourth year of a Bachelors of Science in

            only meet people from around world, but to also broaden

            my understanding of science within and outside of the

            scientific community. When I am not pursuing my studies,

In addition to iGEM this summer, I am researching a novel pigment

hope to work at the local museum as a curator, and conduct my

research as a hobbyist. I currently maintain approximately 50

temperate and tropical vivaria of orchids, geckos, frogs and boa

constrictors, with a focus on Amazonian, Indonesian, Madagascan,

and New Caledonian rainforests. I also have a blue eyed, all white

the ecosystems that I am so fascinated with.

Hello! I am in my fourth year of a B Sc. Hon. in Biochemistry. This

is my first year of iGEM and I am having a great time so far. I got

involved with iGEM because it was an unique opportunity for to meet

some fellow science students from around the world. Furthermore, it
 +
was the perfect chance to put the knowledge obtained in classrooms
 +
to practical use.

My name is Raymond Odsen and I am going into my fourth year in a

B Sc. Hon. in Biochemistry. I think biochemistry is an awesome way

to enter the scientific community,and I got into the iGEM project

because I wanted a practical laboratory experience and the chance
 +
to work in a student-directed environment. My focus in studies is in
 +
the environmental and chemical aspects of biochemical manipulation,
 +
as well as the physics behind biochemical pathways and techniques. I
 +
plan to do an honors thesis next year in purifying proteins involved
 +
in the progression of breast cancer; I am very much looking forward
 +
to it. When not in the lab, I like to think about the lab and
 +
consider marrying the lab.

TEAM

Students



This year, the University of Alberta team, Team Alberta, was composed of seven undergraduate students who represent four departments across our campus. We worked tirelessly in a lab throughout the entire summer, conducting our project and making the ambitious plans that we had set out to complete a reality. Along the way, we gained invaluable lab experience and had a memorable summer working together.


Each team member's diverse skills, background, and talents were most important to our success. Please click on each student's photo on the right-hand side below to learn more about them and to read their submitted biography.

I am in my fourth year of a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry and my first year of iGEM. I plan on pursuing a career in research and I felt that iGEM would be a unique experience and opportunity to not only meet people from around world, but to also broaden my understanding of science within and outside of the scientific community. When I am not pursuing my studies, I enjoy making cupcakes, reading, playing with my dog, and eating cupcakes.
