Executive Board 2016-2017

Co-President	Albert Wu Year: 4th MCB Emphasis: Genetics, Genomics & Development Favorite class at Cal: Public Health 116 Hello there! I'm Albert, a 4th year MCB Major hailing from San Francisco! I love engaging in dialogue about current events, from recent legislation to developments in science to revisions of health policy (it's more engaging than it reads!) I consider patient education and empowerment keystones in my medical career, and so outside of cDNA, I volunteer for Suitcase Clinic and the Hep B Project. I also research developmental genetics in the Harland lab. Hobby-wise I am a huge fan of Dune, LOTR and Harry Potter!
Co-President	Albert Xu Year: 4th MCB Emphasis: Cell & Developmental Biology Favorite class at Cal: Music 44 Hi! I'm a 4th year born and raised in California, and I'm interested in scientific research, photography, education, cooking, and loads more. In my spare time I like to lay in bed, go to the gym, explore the outdoors, and go on adventures!
Vice President	Aurelie Tran Year: 3rd MCB Emphasis: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Minor: GPP Favorite class at Cal: English 117A I am currently pursuing science and writing - though my interests range anywhere from reading Shakespeare's sonnets to producing music. Ultimately, with a curious mind and a cup of coffee always in hand, I am constantly seeking new perspectives of my surroundings, trying new food, exploring new places, and figuring out where I can best make an impact in the crazy world around me.
External Secretary	Leslie Chan Year: 3rd Major: MCB Favorite class at Cal: Public Health 116 I love dogs, avocados, and turtles. My hobbies include baking, photography, and DIY projects.
Internal Secretary	Michelle Ma Year: 3rd MCB Emphasis: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Favorite class at Cal: Chemistry 3B I joined cDNA so I can have an opportunity to give back to the community but also found an amazing group of supporting friends and study buddies! Outside of MCBcDNA, I do research on protein kinases in the Thorner Lab, work in the ASUC Admin Office, and coordinate ROHP programs. I enjoy going to cat cafes and petting cats and exploring Berkeley's food scene in my spare time.
Treasurer	Sanskriti Saxena Year: 3rd Major: MCB Favorite class at Cal:East Asian Languages C50 Hi! My name is Sanskriti, and I’m a second year MCB major. I’m from Denver, Colorado, but love California just as much! I love animals (especially dogs), eating, watching netflix, sleeping, and music.
Publicity Chair	Julie Liu Year: 2nd MCB Emphasis: Neurobiology Double Major: Cognitive Science Favorite class at Cal: I'm still trying to find one that doesn't make me suffer. Hey y'all, I'm Julie! I do everything for the aesthetic. I've been drawing since forever but my mom didn't let me go to art school and I don't have enough time to do a full art major, so on the side I teach workshops for Outlet and do lots of design/animation stuff. I also make the pretty flyers you see plastered everywhere. I'm in AFX so I know how to drop it low (just like my GPA... jk but no really). My dog's name is Icy and she's a yellow laborador/german shepherd/husky mix and if you ask I'll show you my entire album of her photos.
Fundraising Chair	Sophia Bylsma Year: 3rd MCB Emphasis: Immunology (Infectious Diseases) Favorite class at Cal: IB 117 Hi! I'm a third year from San Luis Obispo, California, currently pursuing a career in the medical field with the ultimate goal of working abroad to research infectious disease transmission. Besides cDNA I do developmental research in the Weisblat lab, tutor, and am a member of AMWA and SAGE. My hobbies include hiking, bouldering, Hamilton, traveling, coffee, Harry Potter, and good food.

Webmaster	Tracy Lou Year: 3rd MCB Emphasis: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Double Major: Mathematics Minor: Physics Favorite class at Cal: Math 104/Physics H7C I exist.
