Student team members

All work on this wiki was carried out by the student members and all data collected by us unless stated otherwise. Work by our team members:

• Abbie Rogan: Mainly worked on bringing our lycopene biobrick to life, planning the construct design, protocols, running the experiment as well as helping out with our human practices!
• Amandeep Varia: Worked on designing the wiki pages, as well as uploading and organizing wiki content. She was also involved with organising the human practice events and bringing our SOD therapy idea to life.
• Dale Stibbs: Mainly working in the labs, conducting most of the experiments for all biobricks.
• Kamil Zmijewski: Designed most of our biobrick constructs and was responsible for bringing our dental ideas to life!
• Hana Janebdar: Worked on our entrepreneurial ideas including Xylitol and Alphabrick. She is one of the founders of the Alphabrick software and is working on collaborations.
• Michelle Ammann: Helped conduct many of our human practices events, as well as conducting some experiments in the lab. She is responsible for bringing our STI detecting lube to life!
• Neythen Treolar: Neythen is the maker of our app as well as one of the student members who is involved with our modelling.
• Jakub Domaradski: Jakub is responsible for bringing our pH sensitive biobrick to life, he planned protocols.
• Chinyere Ihuegbu: Our team motivator! Chichi has helped with organising many of our human practices events such as religion and synbio.
• Yuqiao Liu: Mainly involved with winning us our $5000 grant from Syngenta and had come up with our vitellogenin idea! He is also organising some human practices events.

Doctoral supervisor Team Members

• Luba Prout: For every new protocol, lab experiment and every small query, we would like to express our humble gratitude to Luba for being there at every step of our project.
• Kasia Kozdon: We are very grateful to Kasia who help us with modelling our Xylitol and L-arginine models and gave us a lot of advice for our human practices and wiki coding!
• Michael Sibley: Thank you to Mike, for always being available help us with planning our experiments, looking over our protocols and giving general advice.
• Victoria Wood: Thank you to Victoria, who always helped with providing us advice on our experiments and helping us keep organised.
• Ivano Colao: Thank you to Ivano, who gave us a lot of advice on how to approach our oxidative stress experiments, giving us presentation coaching and lab advice.
• Lara Fernandez: Thank you to Lara, for answering any small query we had and giving us advice and guidance on our project

Student Consultants

• Jesus Miguens Blanco: We are very grateful to Jesus (no pun intended), he really helped us through answering any questions we had, to helping us with any protocols, experiments, motivating the team as well as entertaining us!
• Enrique de Zamacona Meza: We are also very grateful to Enrique who always helped us with anything we were struggling with, from presentation organizing to helping us with our wiki. Enrique also worked closely with Hana on our entrepreneurial ideas, developing our constructs and designs.
• Yash Mishra: Thank you to Yash, for giving us his advice and guidance as well as allowing us to use his data showing how oxidative stress affects proteins.

Advisors

• Dr. Darren Nesbeth: We are very thankful to Darren, our project supervisor who was providing the team with a lot of support and guidance! Thank you to Darren for motivating us and for all the meetings from discussing the project plan to biobricks.
• Dr. Vitor Pinheiro: We want to extend our kind gratitude to Dr. Pinheiro for his continuous advice, support and guidance on or project. His advice and guidance has helped us scrutinize and improve every aspect of the project.
• Prof. John Ward: for all his help and advice concerning our bacteriocin producing BioBrick. Thank you for giving us your S.Mutans strain!
• Dr. Chris Barnes and Dr Alexandros Kiparissides: Thank you for helping us with the tricky modelling.

Host labs: Biochemical engineering labs UCL

We were hosted and carried out all our work in the lab facilities of the Biochemical Engineering department of UCL. There, we were kindly provided with all the materials and machinery needed to carry out all our molecular biology and mammalian cell culture experiments.

Difficult technique support

Wiki support

• Evgeny Saveliev: We are very thankful to Evgeny, who is not part of iGEM, but had willingly helped us code our wiki website!
