Professor Anil Wipat is a Professor of Bioinformatics at the School of Computing Science. He co-directs Newcastle's Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex BioSystems (ICOS) research group and is also affiliated with the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology and co-director of the Centre for Synthetic Biology and Bioexploitation. Anil's experience in both biology and computing science proved extremely useful in guiding the project through to completion.

Dr Thomas Howard is a senior lecturer in microbiology in the School of Biology and led the inaugural University of Exeter entry into the iGEM competition and has been involved in iGEM ever since. He is now hosting the wet-lab aspects of the Newcastle iGEM 2016 team, and his extensive microbial knowledge informed the feasibility and development of our ideas.

Dr Jem Stach is a senior lecturer in microbiology in the School of Biology and worked on discovering the novel antibiotic abyssomycin that can potentially be used to treat MRSA. Jem's expertise in microbial genetics was instrumental in developing our biobrick submissions.

Dr Dana Ofiteru is a lecturer in the School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials and secured use of COMSOL finite element analysis modeling software for our team and delivered training therein, as well as facilitating use of equipment for measuring specific heat capacity.
