Wet Lab & Human Practices
Hi, I'm Sabine, currently finishing my Bachelor in interdisciplinary sciences with a focus on biomedical engineering. Joining the ETH iGEM 2025 team lets me work on projects that push toward a healthier, more liveable planet.
Outside the lab I pour creativity onto canvas or into enthusiastic attempts at singing my favourite musicals!
😂 Fun fact: yes, I was on a quiz show when I was younger. No, I didn't win—but I did successfully mumble "uhh..." on national TV. 😬
🎤 Song choice: "Walking on Sunshine" ☀️ by Katrina and the Waves 🎵
Human Practices & Wet Lab
Zong Xiang is a first semester chemistry master student at ETH Zürich contributing across human practices and the wet lab. He is driven by how science can shape the future and is excited to help guide this year's iGEM journey.
🥐 Fun fact: if chemistry hadn't won him over, he might have become a pastry chef—just with a little less sugar, as any true Chinese person might say. 😉
🎶 Song choice: "Paradise" by Coldplay.
Dry Lab
Hello, I'm Nina, a third-semester Bachelor student in interdisciplinary science. I'm fascinated by every corner of science, with a soft spot for theory.
Working in the dry lab reinforces my belief that a truly multidisciplinary approach helps us understand the world more deeply.
🗣️ Fun fact: if I had not chosen science, I would have studied philology specialising in Latin poetry or Ciceronian rhetorics. 🏛️
