I am interesting in competition is because i really enjoy the explore of finding new things, and genetic engineering is the subject that i haven't study before so i want to learn something about it.

Yanlong Ma

One fateful day, at the tender age of seven, a peculiar thought crossed my mind: What would transpire if I guzzled an entire bottle of cola? Without a second's hesitation, I darted into the kitchen, seized a hefty bottle of Coke, and downed it with unparalleled zeal. In no time, my stomach protested, gearing up for an explosive belch. And then, with comedic timing, not only did my mouth release a carbonated eruption, but my nostrils decided to join the party, spraying both Coke and, to my astonishment, a nosebleed! Ah, that's classic me—always brimming with eccentric notions and an undying spirit of experimentation. I'm Mario, born on May 6, 2008. While many know me for my technological prowess and my early foray into the world of C++ programming, my true passion lies at the intersection of biology and computational design. As the leader of the dry team, I've dedicated myself to the intricate world of bioinformatics, modeling, and the computational aspects that underpin the marvels of bioengineering. My role is to ensure that our designs are not only innovative but also feasible, bridging the gap between theoretical biology and its practical applications. Outside of the digital realm, I'm an enthusiast of basketball, skiing, and skateboarding. Beatboxing and rapping? I've got those in my repertoire too. My penchant for videography is evident in my collection of state-of-the-art equipment, boasting brands like SONY, Canon, GoPro, and Xiaomi. I've immortalized the beauty of my hometown, Hangzhou, and my various adventures through numerous videos. As I embark on this iGEM journey, I'm excited to bring my computational expertise to the fore, collaborating with the wet team to ensure our project's success. With a blend of creativity and analytical rigor, I'm confident we can push the boundaries of what's possible in bioengineering.
