Zou Peizhu
(Leader)
(Leader)
Good morning folks! I’m a senior 3 student from Dalton Academy of PKUHS. Interested in neuroscience and genetic
engineering, I set off on the journey of iGEM. Although I’ve already participated in some biology research and
wet labs, these seven days of mutual companionship are my dream come true. Knowing you guys from all over the
world has been my honor!
I’m a drug addict, addicted to science stuff. Living matters are forever abstruse, and with that wisdom, we can assist people with their health care and keep searching for solutions to the current pandemic. Besides academics, I like basketball, music, birdwatching, and engineering projects. Exploring microscopic and macroscopic nature using instruments, a telescope, an Arduino kit, and the camera is what I do all the time. I hope I can see you guys soon in the future college life. Yay! (What a weirdo.)

Xiao Yuxi
Hello,I'm Cissy Xiao(Xiao Yuxi),a 17 student from Wuhan No6. High School student. I
really enjoy doing experiments in a collaborative way, and at the same time making new friends from different
parts of China. In the experiment, I also learned a lot of theoretical knowledge outside school. My interest in
biopharmaceutical comes from my experience of canine distemper death. I hope that through this competition, my
profession will be improved. At the same time, I also hope to succeed with my teammates.
Lin Yanzhuo
Howdy, my name is Lin YanZhuo, an eleventh-grade IB student from China, currently
studying at Chengdu Meishi International School. Biology and Chemistry are the two subjects that I am interested
in, and the former is what appeals to me the most. I have been fascinated by its rigor in logic and the variety
in pharmacy that an outcome can be accomplished from multiple approaches. However, beyond seeing biology as an
interest, I want to be able to contribute and influence society with what I've learned. The raging virus is
currently affecting nations all over the world to varying degrees. Due to the increasing number of issues and
challenges that have arisen in society as a result, I have come to realize how crucial and urgent it is for
biomedicine to advance. In such circumstances, I am dedicated to assisting individuals in need and serving
society more broadly.
