+ | I was born and raised in Lethbridge for the whole span of my life. I have just finished up my first year and will be entering my second year at the University of Lethbridge majoring in Biochemistry. This is my first year with iGEM, and I am looking forward to the knowledge to be gained from the members of the team. I plan on pursuing the career of a Veterinarian after finishing up my undergraduate degree at the University of Lethbridge. Badminton is one of my favourite activities to do. I enjoy listening to contemporary R&B music as well Hip-Hop such as Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Claude Kelly, Frankie J and Lupe Fiasco. | ||

+ | After being drafted to both the MLB and NHL draft in July of 2007, the | ||
+ | natural born athlete, Terrence Myers, had finally fulfilled his dreams. | ||
+ | However, he decided to take the college route before signing a | ||
+ | professional sports contract, choosing to play close to home in Lethbridge | ||
+ | before moving onto his full ride scholarship offered by UNLV. But later | ||
+ | that summer, this specimen would suffer from a life altering elbow injury | ||
+ | that would change his life forever. After trying to grind out this injury | ||
+ | the next season Terrence new that his athletic days had come to an end and | ||
+ | that he would have to start lighting up the academic world. Sine | ||
+ | Terrence only knows winning; he decided to join the iGEM team at U of L to | ||
+ | help further the excellence of the program. In the future you will find | ||
+ | Terrence on the cover of the Journal of Sports Medicine beside a pile of | ||
+ | money because this beauty will have found a treatment to cure all elbow | ||
+ | injuries, saving the lives of ball players around the world. You can | ||
+ | find Terrence in the lab, gym, ODR, or tossin’ with his buddies on the | ||
+ | ball field. | ||

+ | Hi iGEMers! My name is Mackenzie and I’m a fourth year biochemistry major who is competing in iGEM for a THIRD time! I’ve been involved in scientific research since high school and still love every minute of studying proteins in translation or exploring what synthetic biology has to offer. When I’m not in a lab coat holding a pipette, I can often be found dancing or watching my fair share of So You Think You Can Dance! | ||

+ | Originally from Germany I moved to Canada in 2005 to start a research group on the structure and function of the bacterial protein synthesis machinery, a cellular process targeted by over 50% of the known antibiotics. I am intrigued by the molecular design and function of this essential bio-nanomachine. I try to unravel the underlying design principles in order to enable the rational design and engineering of novel bio-nanomachines. I am essentially asking the question if such novel bio-machines can be constructed from simple and fundamental principles or are these assemblies just to complex. Well and that’s why it was extremely easy to rope me into doing iGEM. | ||
