<p><br><br><br><br><br><b>Name:</b> Aimee Lamb</p>

<p><b>Current Studies:</b> Anatomy and physiology</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> Aimée never fails to cheer us up in the lab with her chit chat and big smile. She’s very relaxed when it comes to following a protocol! But somehow still manages to get the job done. She is also very determined even after the 18^th attempt at cloning the same gene! Her favourite thing in the world (other than iGEM of course…) is anything sweet. It’s fair to say that she is totally obsessed with cake! </p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> Either sexual harassment or breaking into a patisserie.</p>

<p><b>Current Studies:</b> Molecular genetics</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> She’s very strict when it comes to following a protocol! Caitlin loves her biology and takes lab work very seriously – although her PPE could do with some work after an incident involving her fingernail and a centrifuge. She cheers us up with her great puns, sassy chat and never fails to snap us out of our bad moods!</p>

<p><br><br><br><br><br><b>Name:</b> Callum Tromans-Coia</p>

<p><b>Current Studies:</b> </p>

<p><b>Role:</b> </p>

<p><b>About you:</b> </p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> </p>

<p><b>Role:</b> Our personnal encyclopedia, incompetent cells maker, scapegoat. </p>

<p><b>About you:</b> When he’s not being in the lab you’ll probably find him playing video games or with his head in a geeky book. He’s a scatter brain but an extremely har worker and an integral part of our iGEM family.</p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> Consumption of illegal quantaties of energy juice!</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> When he’s not flying planes or in the boxing ring, he’s hard working in the office. And by office I mean pub.  He is overly chatty, so it was his big mouth that helped us out with Human Practices. There’s not a forensic expert in Dundee that hasn’t hear him talk. However, if you see him in Boston, you can keep him.</p>

<p><b>Current Studies:</b> Fiona Macfarlane </p>

<p><b>About you:</b> Fiona is a 4th Year math-bio student. When she isn’t mothering the dry team she’s mothering her foot soldiers at the Girls’ Brigade. Her hobbies include listening to Scottish folk and world domination. Her name has become synonymous with mathematical perfection: “Wow you just totally Fiona’d your homework”.</p>

<p><b>Current Studies:</b> Men, and she’s doing a physics degree also.</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> Some people just want to watch the world burn, Hannah would rather just watch Ed burn.<br>

She’s a hardworking Northern Irish Gal, who packs a punch when it comes to working. Her mathematical brain has helped crack many tough problems. Her creative touch has given everything a sparkle through the whole iGEM process. Fun fact about Hannah is she can still say the whole alphabet even after 10 Guinness’s or 7 G ‘n’ T’s .  

</p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> Going on a GTA style rampage by first stealing a car, driving it over a ramp into the air and crashing it into a flying helicopter. Then stealing another car and having a wild car chase, similar to fast and furious scene, she would then kidnap a Kim Kardashian. This is because this woman adds nothing to science. After a long standoff with armed SWAT Teams Hannah would then hop in her Batmobile which she had hidden all along and drive right through them.  Following a second lengthy car chase she would eventually been stopped by a fully armed apache helicopter and arrested for being the most badd-ass Northern Irish lass to have ever walked the earth. I’d drink to that. </p>

<p><b>About you:</b> </p>

<p><b>Why iGEM:</b> </p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> </p>

<p><b>About you:</b> Jack of all trades is what I tend to be described as. That just so happens when broad interests lead to interesting detours in the early career. I joined iGEM because it's the most amazing way of encouraging entrepreneurship as an undergraduate student. I started iGEM as a Biologist, but I ended being from a Physicist to a Networking Champion. There are a lot of these so called prestigious internships out there, but what use is all the prestige if there is no fun and no 'out of the comfort zone' experience involved.</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> Tom is a 3rd year math-bio student with a keen interest in all things science and will tell everyone, and their granny about PCA. When he’s not in the dry lab you will find Tom enjoying Brazilian music and discussing the ins and outs of politics, and life, with team mate Conner. <br> If you are very lucky Tom will even perform a fantastic cover of the female part of 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin, or even some classic rap songs.</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> </p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> </p>

<p><b>Role:</b> Modelling/Wiki Advisor</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> I am from Spain and I wanted to do my PhD abroad, so I joined a PhD under the supervision of Kim Dale and Philip Murray. I joined iGEM in 2012. I loved that expericence that since then I have participated each year. However, this year is the first I am helping the Dundee Team.</p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> Stealing a pinguin and going out with it.</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> I am a microbiology professor who is on one-man undercover mission to make Dundee the best place in the world to study biotechnology. iGEM brings joy, freedom and excitement into research.</p>

<p><b>About you:</b> I am Head of the Division of Molecular Microbiology, part time lab worker and full time counsellor. iGEM is the best part of the undergraduate curriculum! Intense, tiring but 100% worth it. </p>

<p><b>About you:</b> I have recently taken over as the Interim Dean for Science and Engineering. My maths skills are now used to balance the books. iGEM is an intensely rewarding experience for students and instructors. I am privileged to be able to work with this talented interdisciplinary group each year. </p>

<p><b>Most likely to be arrested for:</b> Murder by Karaoke!</p>
