I am currently | I am currently a PhD student at the University of Toronto working in synthetic biology with Dr. McMillen. I learned about [[OpenWetWare]] from iGEM and Andrew Hessel, and I've joined because competing in iGEM secured strong interest in synthetic biology. Ever since i have been overwhelmed with optimism for the future of synthetic biology and it has dominated my scientific interests to the extent of me pursuing career in this area. | ||
