Meet Viggy Vanchi
Being part of BioBuilder has helped solidify the direction I’m going to be going – after high school, after college. That one lab started it all.”
—Viggy Vanchi
Rebecca is one of BioBuilder’s longest serving Board members, and currently chairs the Board of Directors.
Viggy just completed his senior year at Westborough High School, in Westborough, a small town in central Massachusetts.
He was first exposed to synthetic biology through BioBuilder’s bacterial transformation lab, “What a Colorful World.” From there, he partnered with his high school biology teacher to bring the BioBuilderClub to Westborough High School.
Since then, Viggy has also served as a near-peer TA for BioBuilder’s summer programs, and this summer will work with BioBuilder as a junior instructor, as he prepares to start his undergrad program in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
