Team:BABS UNSW Australia/Team

Meet the Team

Hi there! We are tight knit group of passionate undergrads from Sydney, Australia. Without further ado let's introduce the team.

Undergraduates

Rhys Keirle

G'day I'm Rhys, nice to meet you. I’m currently in my thrid year of a Science degree majoring in Biotechnology. Outside of uni I am a keen traveler, with plans to get my skis on in Japan later this year. I also have a passion for gymnastics and coach on a regular basis, with a little training, competition and judging on the side. As far as iGEM goes I look forward to getting my hands dirty in the lab, working on the wiki and engaging with the broader community about issues relating to Synbio, in particular through our Great Debate. See you in Boston!

Manan Shah

From absolutely not wanting to do science about 3.5 years ago, here I am in my 3rd year majoring in molecular biology. As part of the team, I have been organising lab work and helping to develop the wiki.In my spare  ‐  or rather, non‐iGEM time  ‐ I enjoy reading up on random topics, watching TV shows and listening to podcasts

Kristen Perry

I’m a third year Advanced Science student majoring in Pathology, enjoying a little molecular biology adventure on the side. iGEM has been such an interesting opportunity for me and I’m    incredibly thankful for the support our team has received thus far. When I’m not in the lab (or pretending to know how to design things), I love to hike, climb and canyon

Isabelle Capell-Hattam

When Isabelle was 8 her mum banned her from doing science experiments in the kitchen. Now that she's moved out she does science where ever she feels like (though mostly in the lab)- take that mum.
I'm not really sure what role I play on the UNSW iGEM team, but I'm pretty darn good at making people use positive and negative controls.

Dr Chris Marquis

Chris received a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry and B.E degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Sydney. After working as a research assistant on a project sponsored by CSL and doing some travelling, he returned to complete a PhD at the University of Sydney in bioreactor design and operation for antibody producing mammalian cell lines. He was appointed as a Lecturer at the University of New South Wales in 1994 and promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2004.Chris’s current interests include the development of lipases for biodiesel production, understanding the regulation of soluble hydrogenase expression in Cupriavidius necator and in the development of recombinant enzymes for bioremediation applications. And iGEM.
