"Zenos is a Biotechnology undergrad at Utah Valley University. His interest is in engineering biology to create medical and industrial materials like how we engineered bacteria to produce insulin instead of harvesting it from animal pancreases. He has a biotech focus but is interested in other things too."
"My name is Colleen Hough, I'm originally from Los Angeles and earned my BS in Biology from UC Irvine. I then went to Washington State to work as a lab technician and ultimately received a MS in Microbiology studying tetracycline resistance mechanisms. I went back to UC Irvine and earned a PhD in Developmental and Cell Biology working on a Drosophila tumor suppressor and its role in junction formation and function. I took a postdoctoral position at the National Institute on Aging identifying genes upregulated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and obtaining a patent on EOC markers that was licensed to a company in California. I moved to Utah to work as a Criminalist in the state crime lab, worked in a biotech startup company, took a research faculty position at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, until finally settling on a professor position at Utah Valley University where I am currently the Biotechnology Program Director. When I am not working on iGEM projects, I serve on the DEI and RTP committees and I'm a Faculty Senator."
