Zhang Boxuan
Hi guys, my name is Zhang Boxuan and you can call me Jim Zhang in English.
I'm presently in grade 10th and going to be an senior next year.
I was seeking for a chance to experience an academical experiment during my high school life and attending the
wet team of Igem competition gave me a chance.
While in school, my main subject was physics and chemistry for the last two years,
which gave me a hard time of understanding the subject we are concentrating on.
In order to play a better role in the team, I learnt biology by myself which highly improved the diversity of
my science knowledge.
The experiments we did also gave me an extraordinary experience to my high school life.
Furthermore, while doing experiments, I also tried to play the role as a leader in my team,
which gave me a valuable experience of leading a scientific team and the confidence to be a leader in a team.
I believe that the processes we are making are excellent and the product we are producing would also work well
in the market.
The team P-DENV would pass all the hardship and difficulties then achieve success.
Wang Jingxi
Hi, my name is Wang Jingxi and my English name is Alexis.
I am a 10th grader from Emma Willard School in Troy, NY.
I have a golden retriever. He is almost 7 years old.
My family and I love to take him out to hike and hang out with his friends.
I like to swim, play tennis, and paint when I am free.
Since I am a curious person who wants to explore different fields and navigate myself to prepare for my
college life,
I like to attend amazing competitions like IGEM. I always ended up learning so much more than what I expected.
More importantly,
each time I get to meet awesome people of similar age as me and improve with them together.
Li Guanxi
My name is Li Guanxi. I did the foundation programme of IB courses at UWCCSC in the first year of my high
school life where I really met my dreams and ambitions. Through the values the school taught to us students, I
indeed want to create a Utopia with no exploitation and oppression. All of these I considered to start with
“Who am I?” and “How the current world consists of?”. Those questions have been deeply covered in my inner
heart and become a catalyst for me to study Chemistry and Physics. In addition, I do care about equality and
balance among all nature habits which could achieve my aims. I attend clubs,“THEM”which offers stray animals a
better place to live in around the campus and also improves the condition of local animal shelters, also a
club of gardening which can provide me an opportunity to get closely to natural life. While I put a lot of
attentions on Theology that provides me insights into another way that I can access to the truth of the world.

Chu Jiayi
"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Jiayi, and you can call me Romy. I'm a senior student from Dalian American
International School and am thrilled to be a part of our iGEM team.
My academic interests are pretty diverse, but I have a special place in my heart for psychology. I've always
been fascinated by the human mind and how it works, and I'm always eager to learn more about this complex
field of study.
When I'm not buried in my psychology books, you can usually find me engaging in sports. I'm a passionate
swimmer and volleyball player, having been a member of my school's volleyball team for three years. I
thoroughly enjoy the teamwork and camaraderie that comes with playing as a part of a team and the sense of
achievement that stems from working hard and seeing the results on the field. I believe that these experiences
have not only made me a better athlete but also a more effective team player in academic settings.
Traveling is another passion of mine. I love exploring new destinations, immersing myself in different
cultures, and absorbing all the knowledge that comes with such experiences. I view traveling as a journey of
learning and self-discovery, much like how I view the iGEM competition.
Participation in the iGEM competition has been a significant part of my journey. Acting as a leader for our
team, I've had the chance to apply the knowledge I've gained in my academic studies, as well as the teamwork
skills I've honed on the volleyball court. This competition has expanded my knowledge and helped me grow as a
person, solidifying my goals and the kind of person I want to become.
Working together with my classmates on this project has been an incredible experience. I cherish the time
we've spent on this project, and I firmly believe that we will gain valuable insights and experiences,
regardless of the competition's outcome!"

Xu Zihe
"Hello everyone, I am Xu Zihe. I am 17-year-old.
If I were to summarize myself in one word, that would be a surfing-lover. Crawling on the surfboard and
waiting for the wave. When the moment comes, stand up, plunge, glide and then ride on the crest. Voila! I now
feel totally free, like the marine animal who is enjoying and inspecting her own homeland.
Surfing is a sport that sums up all kinds of sensations- excitement, peacefulness, a sense of domination and
even anxiety. It enriches me as a person, allowing me to experience life in the most nuanced way, and at the
same time provides me opportunities to learn and mature just like this year's IGEM competition. Both are
challenging, yet both allow me to become better at solving problems and cooperating with team members. I value
every moment in doing project with you!"

Qian Zhiwei
Hello everyone, I am Qian Zhiwei from the wet team, who is in his third year of high school and currently
studying at an international school in Shanghai. I have already learned about igem courses in the early
stages. In the wet team here, what I am doing is researching the problem of plasmid and DNA recombination,
which really interests me. After all, I have not been exposed to similar knowledge content in my previous
study and life, and this learning method has shone brightly in my eyes, At the beginning of this experiment,
unfamiliar classmates and serious experimental venues made me feel nervous. After all, I had never been
exposed to such things before. However, as time passed, the tension gradually dissipated, replaced by the joy
of learning knowledge. I believe that in the wet team, I will do well. Even if there are shortcomings and not
perfect, I believe everything can be corrected, making me a better myself.
