Being able to witness our team's journey in iGEM once again has been a truly humbling experience. I believe the work we've done will not only support this year's efforts but also serve as a foundation for many future teams."

Watching these students transform bold ideas into structured research has been inspiring. I am grateful for the chance to mentor them and look forward to their continued growth as future scientists."
Secondary PI – Dr. Sungjun Yoon
"My role in this project was to help guide and manage the research, experiments, and analysis that defined our work this year. From early planning to execution, I have seen our students develop remarkable scientific discipline and resilience. It has been a privilege to walk alongside them as they shaped their vision into reality."
