My name is Shaalini Desai, and I am an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia studying Cognitive Science on a pre-health track. I am the Outreach Chair for the 2019 Virginia iGEM team. iGEM (International Genetically Modified Machine) is an international competition where various student-led research groups around the world solve major global issues through synthetic biology. Our project focuses on reducing the accumulation of Styrofoam waste as well as the expensive nature of biodegradable plastics.
