Callan Monette

I'm a rising sophomore hoping to major in Neuroscience and Computational & Applied Mathematics & Statistics. I've been in love with all things biology since elementary school, and my recent expedition into the synthetic biology field through iGEM has been incredibly exciting for me! As a part of the W&M iGEM team I've been able to gain valuable research experience while learning how to think about molecular biology in terms of complex systems and circuits. In the future, I have my heart set on working in the medical field in some way, whether it's practicing medicine or participating in biomedical research; I'm particularly interested in neurobiology and neurological disorders. In addition to the iGEM team, I'm also a part of W&M Dhamaal Bhangra, a dance team that specializes in the energetic bhangra dance native to northern India! I also enjoy swimming/diving, tutoring small children, and wandering through the Williamsburg farmers market in search of cute dogs.
