Siyuan Li
Siyuan Li played an important role in both wet lab and dry lab. He was responsible for our rational design of CcBOS and performed many of our characteristic experiments. Ahead of labwork, he also conducted the literature review and technical analysis of (-)-α-bisabolol synthesis. He attended most collaborations with other teams, too.
Shizheng Tian
Shizheng Tian is our key member in the wet lab. He is responsible for our plasmid building and the culture of Vibrio natriegens. Without whom, none of our plasmid and the date of a-bisabolol will ever exist. He participated in molecular experiments, project design, and parts design.
Yiying Zhang
Yiying Zhang is a key member of our academic group. In the prior period of our project, she participated in the technical investigation of bisabolol synthesis. As the project moves, she is responsible for parts of plasmid construction. She also engages in dry lab work.

Yunzhe Kang is one of our team leaders. As an experienced iGEMer, he is responsible for our project re-design, most of our administrative work, and communication with partners, sponsors, and other iGEM teams. Also participated in our experiments, especially in gene synthesis. Meanwhile, he is also a member of our creative group for video clipping.
Yuxuan Shen
Yuxuan Shen is our key member in the wet lab. She is responsible for our information research, literature collection, and some experiments, such as measuring the seawater quality. At the same time, she participated in online communication activities and shared ideas with others to improve the team's influence.
Yuelin Yang
Yuelin Yang is a wet lab member of BNSC_China. Her main responsibilities were human practice and lab work, including the cultivation and preservation of various experimental expression strains, the search and determination of target gene sequences, and the purity identification of synthetic products. She also contributed to the WeChat tweets. She has participated in many online communication activities.
Yilong Xu
Yilong Xu is the major designer and executor of wet lab work and plays an important role in the project's design. He characterized parts, de novo synthesized BOS, and engineered our fast-growth yeast strain. He also demonstrated the combination of UIP and FPP pathways in E. coli. What's more, he also participated in human practice.
Zhenwen Lee
Zhenwen Lee is a key member of the human practice. He is responsible for communicating with other groups and collecting professional materials. He participated in many online and offline communication activities. Meanwhile, he learned and exchanged relevant knowledge and also guided the students in the lower grades, which improved the influence of our team. He participated in scholarly communication and the work of collecting information.
Others
CAFA_China
CAFA_China helped us a lot on art design and communication skills. Our team logo and some visual contents are produced by CAFA_China, and they are attributed in corresponding contents.
