Supervisors/Advisors

  • Dr Julien Reboud (Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Fellow in Synthetic Biology, Biomedical Engineering, University of Glasgow) Supervisor: Our primary advisor - provided plate reader for fluorescence measurements, gave us useful presentation feedback, and bought us pizza that one time.
  • Dr Sean Colloms (Lecturer in Synthetic Biology, Institute of Molecular Cell and Systems Biology, University of Glasgow) Supervisor: Our secondary supervisor - Provided equipment, consumables, lab space and advice about molecular biology.
  • James Provan - Advisor : Demonstrated lab techniques (multiple times). Showed incredible patience.
  • Mhairi Davidson - Advisor: Provided support with Exeter collaboration, general lab techniques, and experimental planning.
  • Dr Steph Holt: Helped with electroporating S. thermophilus when things were looking impossible.
