My name is Jose Antonio Valencia-Castellanos. I am a Systems Engineer and Computer Science student at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Cali, Colombia. I am really excited about joining the Latin American Group for this competition because it is an opportunity for researchers from the called “third world countries” to get actively involved in cutting edge fields such as Synthetic Biology. I hope our involvement sets the foundation stone for a Latin American Community that will explore and develop inspiring research projects in this field.
