Zoia Okulova
President
Karina Millican
Secretary
Mia Weisman
Vice President
Zoia is a rising 4th year Bioengineering major, about to start her co-op at Merck. Her fun fact is that she is from France! She is particularly interestsed in immuno-oncology and tissue engineering. She is excited about getting the team at Northeastern started and can't wait to see how much they can accomplish!
Karina is a rising 4th year Bioengineering major, about to start her co-op at Tessera. Her fun fact is that she is a triplet. She is interested in immuno-oncology, tissue engineering, stem cell engineering and neurodegenerative disease research. She hopes that she can share her passion for research to drive the iGEM team to create their own novel project!
Mia is a rising 4th year Bioengineering & Biochemistry combined major, about to start her co-op at GelMedix. Her fun fact is that she's a ski patroller.
She is interested in tissue engineering, organoids, clinical medicine, and the intersections that combine these disciplines. She hopes that she can combine her academic interests to help the iGEM team design an awesome project!
Jake Lloyd
Webmaster
Jake is a third year biology major currently on co-op at Flagship Pioneering. He is interested in microbiology, genetics, and applications of science in bioremediation.
Keerthi Atluri
Treasurer
Keerthi is a second year bioengineering and biochemistry combined major. She is interested in cellular engineering and advancements in regenerative medicine.

iGEM overview
iGEM stands for International Genetically Engineered Machine, and works to educate students in synthetic biology. iGEM is an independent, non profit organization that advances synthetic biology, competition, education, and collaboration across the world. We are just one small team under the large umbrella, but we work with the organization to make our project come to life.
