OUR CREATIVE TEAM

Members

SUSTech_Shenzhen is a multidisciplinary team from China, but our values and energies are aligned.
We are all believers and excited about the results and impact of our Tyrian Purple Evolution (TPE) project.
Meanwhile, we have become a dual-time zone team since August, Pacific Time Zone (UTC-07:00) in California and China Standard Time (UTC+08:00) in Shenzhen.
Taking advantage of the time difference to take over can make us incredibly productive!

Team Members

Team Leader

Anlan (Anna) is a senior studying Chemistry with the age of 20. As the team leader and project designer, she is full of interesting ideas. She's a master plasmid extractor and music manager in the lab. Outside the lab, she is expert at seeking fine dining.
Yunmeng Jia

Team Leader( HP manager )

Yunmeng, 20, is a female living in the Nanshan district of Shenzhen with normal vital signs. As one of the team leaders of SUSTech_Shenzhen , she has led the team members to carry out many interesting Human practice activities. Her major is clinical medicine, and she enjoys studying the physiology of humans and mice. Her main work now is to combat hair loss and difficulty getting out of bed.
Junfei Xia

Team Leader( Wetlab manager )

Junfei is a junior studying bioinformation. He loves synthetic biology and hopes to take this opportunity to learn more experimental techniques and make friends.
Yue Wu

Drylab manager

Although his major is mechanics, Yue has always been interested in Biology. In iGEM he hopes to combine mathematical methods with practical bio-application, like weather forecasting, to precisely estimate cell production. Although there are already some mature methods and software, using them proficiently and explaining the specific meaning in biology is not easy. Sometimes he did struggle with modelling, but from the whole view, he really enjoys this process.
Haotian Zheng

Team Art Designer

Haotian is a sophomore in SUSTech. Outside the lab, he is a long-time fan of RNG team in the world of eSports. His motto is "Never give up!".
Enze Zhao

Team Photographer

No one is complete, so is Enze. But he believes everything he does completes him. Thus he is not only a member of Human Practice but also a videographer and editor. Yeah, he loves recording the beauty around him. Besides, the account book and notebook are under his control (just turn to him for money). How could you finish the journey perfectly without him?
Jie Wei

Wiki Manager

As our wiki queen, Jie has a unique sense of humor. She likes to keep quiet and always be a cool girl. Every time she speaks, she makes everyone laugh. She is willing to learn and dare to try. By the way, she really enjoys staying in the lab!
Ruijie Zhou

Wetlab Assistant

Ruijie, a senior studying clinical medicine in SUSTech. I hope to gain better teamwork ability and enhance my interest and ability in scientific research by participating in iGEM. Outside the lab, I am a member in college basketball and football team with winning many awards. I also like lovely dogs, watching movies, listening to music with good lyrics and eating tasty food.
Hui Yao

Drylab Assistant

Hui studied mainly statistics in university with a good learning ability and courage to participate in unfamiliar biological field. She became increasingly fascinated by the intersection of statistics and biology in iGEM. Outside the lab, she loves to play badminton and listen to classical music.
Shuang He

Wetlab Assistant

Shuang is a junior studying Biomedical Engineering. He wants a long holiday after iGEM, and he always believes synthetic biology could change the world.
Qianhui Chen

HP Member

Qianhui is a passionate medical student with a big heart and wants to explore the world of science beyond patients. Outside the lab, she is always a bird lover and committed to environmental protection.
Linshan Zhong

HP Member

Linshan is a junior studying clinical medicine. Outside the lab, she likes swimming. She hopes the world will be better through our efforts.
Xuyang Chen

Team Art Designer

Xuyang is a true visual thinker, and serves as the art designer for the team. He majors in biology, but also specializes in fine art and design. He believes that the most touching aesthetics lies in living organisms, which makes him fansinated in combining visual presentation with the concept and mechanism of synthetic biology.
Minjiong Zhao

HP Member

Minjiong is the tallest man in the team, and he can always bring lots of fun to everyone in parties. Major in clinical medicine, he is always friendly and never late for meetings. As the person in charge of the SpringBuds Project, he may be the happiest person to see lots of students having changed their opinion in Biology, especially Synthetic Biology. Keep hungry, so he can eat two whole roast chickens at one time! Keep foolish, so he keeps finishing reading one book every 2 months.
Songshuo Jia

Drylab Assistant

Songshuo (Jensen) is a junior in the field of math and statistics. It’s his first time to study in synthetic biology and he was motivated to learn more to model for directed evolution. He likes to play video games and talk about football with friends. He is a foodie in our team. Hanging out with eating together is the best way to share happiness!
Boxiang Wang

Advisor

Boxiang is CTO and co-founder of Links-Spider Technology Co., Ltd. He is an iGEMer who has led teams for nine years, loving synthetic biology and educating young people. He hopes to see bright new ideas and the courage to challenge complex problems in iGEM every year, and he is not interested in boring projects. He hopes that those of us iGEMer, future scientists, and entrepreneurs can genuinely change the world.
Honghao Su

Instructor

Honghao is a PhD student at Earlham Institute, Norwich, UK. He acts as an instructor in mathematical modelling. His role involves brainstorming modelling ideas, revising models proposed by team crews and troubleshooting. He enjoys walking in spare time.
