Meredith Gentry
Meredith is a senior at Lawrence North High School and plans on attending Indiana University this upcoming fall to study biology and neuroscience. She decided to participate in the iGEM competition because synthetic biology and cancer research are both interesting to her, which is the goal of our project. When she isn't behind her books, she enjoys being behind a soccer ball playing soccer for her high school team. She also enjoys swimming and spending time with friends.
Emma Goldstein
Emma is a senior at Lawrence North High School and is attending Indiana University in the fall to study biology and then attend medical school. Her interest stemmed from the interest in tying the synthetic biology to the medical world as well as the ability to work as a group to help develop an idea and conduct research. Most of her free time is spent working, but she also enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading a good book, or having an excellent cat nap.
Grace Hershberger
Grace is a senior at Lawrence North High School and is going to Ball State University this fall to study nursing medicine with an emphasis in pediatric oncology. She decided to join the iGEM team because she likes the idea of working on a team and the fact that this team is focusing on cancer research. She likes wakeboarding, hanging out with friends, and listening to One Direction on repeat!
