As the team captain, my daily life is all about leading a bunch of creative
teammates. Together, we're hacking into cellular puzzles in the lab while bridging
our ideas to the real world through Human Practices. A big part of my role is
inspiring others to see the excitement in synbio. We believe synthetic biology is
more than just test tubes and code—it's about the infinite possibilities that bloom
from collaboration.
Really looking forward to connecting and creating some awesome sparks with all of
you!
Hi there! I'm Xiaoxiao Wang, the captain of NENU-China.
I see my role as the one who helps translate our team's wildest ideas into feasible
experiments and cool Human Practices. Our project is like a grand synthetic biology
adventure, and I'm the lucky navigator, working with the team to code our creativity
into DNA-based solutions for real-world problems.
I'm absolutely thrilled to meet all the brilliant minds here and exchange ideas!
Can't wait to connect

Primary PI
Without a doubt, Professor Gong Lei is one of the core members of our team. It is he
who has given us affirmation and the necessary support, including but not limited to
fund-raising and experimental guidance. At the same time, he has also taken on much
of the liaison work obtained in social practice, creating numerous opportunities for
our project.
Secondary PI
Professor Yuying Fan is one of the most important mentors of our team. She has made
significant contributions to us in experimental design, idea refinement, and the
provision of experiment-related tools and supplies. Meanwhile, she also offered us
advice in various aspects during the experiment, which greatly contributed to our
success.
Director
Teacher Yue Meng’s advice is the most aligned with our team’s daily work and serves
as a crucial driving force for our team’s progress. Many of our social practice
initiatives were only able to launch thanks to her communication efforts in
connecting with relevant contacts. Additionally, she has provided us with numerous
opportunities and possibilities. Teacher Yue Meng’s support also extends to ensuring
our safety and managing funds
Advisor
Yueming Ma, a senior student in Professor Fan's laboratory, has provided us with
additional guidance on planning and instructions on experimental operations
Yunzhu Wei, a senior student in Professor Fan's laboratory, has provided us with
supplementary guidance on experimental planning and operations
Qing Xia, a senior student in Professor Fan's laboratory with in-depth knowledge of
the relevant field, has provided us with assistance in many specific experimental
designs and certain experimental methods and operations. She has also helped us
avoid a significant number of potential errors.
As a biochemistry major, I've been characterizing the metabolic pathways relevant to
our project. Understanding these complex systems at the molecular level has been
both challenging and fascinating.
What I've valued most about iGEM is the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to a
real-world problem. This experience has solidified my interest in pursuing research
as a career.
