HI THERE ~ I am Jingyan Hu from Shandong University, majoring in Life Science and. I play a role as the hp leader in SDU-CHINA. One important thing that I do is to cheer everyone up when organising some meaningful activities.

I'm Yuchen Li, a cheerful, outgoing and easy-to-communicate individual with a passion for merging art and science. My participation in the iGEM competition has been an exciting experience for me. Being involved in iGEM has broadened my horizons and allowed me to see how biology and design merge. I am excited to continue exploring the dynamic intersection of art and science and am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our team's success.

Hello everyone, my name is Windi Hou and I am an undergraduate student majoring in Biological Sciences at Shandong University. I am cheerful and humorous, and I hope to communicate with you more. I am very happy to participate in this iGEM competition, not only to have a deeper understanding of the field of synthetic biology, but also to make more friends in the competition.

I am from SDU_CHINA. I am majoring in Biological Science and I am an introvert. During the preparation process of iGEM, I not only got closer to other team members, but also made many new friends in the communication process with other teams, and learned a lot of computer-related content, which made me gain a lot.

I'm new wave. But I'm old school sometimes. My inner child is outward-bound. I'm a hot-wired, heat-seeking, warm-hearted cool person. l'm in the moment, on the edge, over the top but under the radar, I'm hanging in. In addition to loving small animals, at the same time, I'm also a big fan of hotpot. The food is the biggest passion in my life
