Our Team

  • Zhanning Lin

    Hi there, I’m Zhanning Lin (Maggie) from Bio-plus China. I am currently an 11th grader at WLSA Shanghai Academy and this is my first year in iGEM. iGEM encouraged me to explore and learn in all fields including biology, commerce, and media. In my spare time, I prefer to spend time with my friends chatting or with my family. Cooking, listening to music and reading are the main ways I spend my time when I am alone. To try things new plays a significant part in my life, and I guess this is one reason why I decided to be an iGEMer.

I have chosen chemistry, physics, maths, and further maths as my high school subjects. Therefore, I hold the post of the mathematical modeling part.
