Meet the Team
Our iGEM team consists of 8 undergraduates, 4 post-graduates (advisers) and 4 supervisors.
Our team is from a variety of backgrounds. Three members of our team are majoring in Computer Science, three are majoring in Biology and two are majoring in Biomedical Sciences.
We have found value in our wide range of personalities and diverse skill sets, allowing us to work to solve problems single disciplined teams would struggle with. We hope to secure funding to continue to develop our research in this exhilarating field. Upon our project's completion, we will take our findings to the iGEM jamboree in Boston where it will be presented to synthetic biologists from all around the world.Read more about our team here
Collaborations
Our iGEM team continued a tradition of collaboration by not only assisting teams but also being assisted by them.
The first team we collaborated with was Exeter University’s iGEM team. They were kind enough to conduct thermal conductivity experiments on both LB broth as well as M9 Salts solution. We needed to be able to model the temperature change caused by running an electrical current on these media in order to be able to know which solution to use for our conductivity experiments.
Following our collaboration with Edinburgh, we approached Edinburgh University with a potential collaboration. Our simulator constitutes a very important section of our experiment. We therefore thought that since Edinburgh’s team focuses on data processing and encryption, we could incorporate their model into our simulator. In return for their model, we were able to help them by discussing potential ethical issues with their experiment. Read more about our various collaborations here
Attributions
We are very aware as a team that we would not have been able to do all of this alone. We feel blessed to have had the help and support around us.
Our advisers and supervisors have been with us every step of the way. They have taught us basic introductory methods in order for us to become accustomed to the laboratory environment, but also have consistently provided us with feedback on our project.
