Description

Romain Clément

Hi, my name is Romain Clément, I’m second year PhD student in “Bioénergétique et Ingénierie des Protéines” laboratory in Marseille (France). I’m working on carbon concentrating mechanism in diatoms, a class of microalgae. I’m a supervisor of iGEM Marseille team and I help students on enzymology part of their work. I like nature, hiking, garden, carnivorous plant and science too! I participate to the iGEM competition to discover the biosynthetic biology world. I give my help in my competence domains to this student team that have an interesting subject on chewing gum pollution.

James Sturgis

Hi everyone, I am a Professor of Biochemistry and laboratory director in Marseille. I recently created a synthetic biology course at the university and so was very keen to help our team turn theory into practice by participating in the iGEM, and to find out how synthetic biology can change the way we use biology. When I am not teaching student or doing research, I enjoy hiking and music.

Laureen Logger

I am a third year PhD candidate in microbiology. I study the assembly of the bacterial Type VI secretion system in the pathogenic strain of Escherichia coli (EAEC). I heard of the IGEM competition last year and I was impressed how science can be done by students through their creativity and their motivation. So I have decided to be an instructor of the 2015 AMU team. I think this competition is a challenging and rewarding experience for both students and instructors! Outside the lab, I love travelling and hiking among many other things!
