Analia Banacore
Wet lab

Uruguayan in the last year of a Master in Molecular Biology at Gothenburg University, but likes to hang out with Chalmers people so joined IGEM team to have fun and learn. Survived doing most of the growth trials and begged S. cerevisiae to join the team, with no luck.

Anton Björk
Wet lab

Youngest member of the team, just finished the second year of Biotechnology BSc. Currently trying to figure out which masters to choose, so joined iGEM to find out what he wants to do in the future. Thinks bioinformatics, big data handling and large scale experimental techniques are especially interesting.

Martin Boström
Wiki/simulation

Last year Master student whose iGEM responsibilities include wiki design and modelling. Being a massive computer nerd, Martin likes creating scripts for everyday tasks that other people seem to find excessive and/or unnecessary.

Staffan Godman
Wet lab

Third year Biotech BSc student who always had an interest in genetics. The more you learn, the more you think; this is like science fiction. I am happy to work in the wet lab but I also have an interest in bioinformatics. When I’m not doing all the science stuff I regularly make music and play shows with my band, come see us next time!
