Keith Kozminski, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Biology, University of VirginiaPLACEHOLDER -- A molecular cell biologist with 25 years of experience, Dr. Kozminski received a Ph.D. from Yale University and completed post-doctoral training at the University of California at Berkeley. He joined the Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Cell Biology in the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia in 2002, where he studies the molecular basis of cell shape and division and teaches courses in cell biology and synthetic biology. Beyond the university he serves an editor of Molecular Biology of the Cell, the journal of the American Society for Cell Biology and as a scientific review panelist for the National Science Foundation. Dr. Kozminski has served as an advisor to the University of Virginia iGEM team since 2008, and we are forever grateful for his endless help and support! |

Jason Papin, Ph.D.Professor of Biomedical Engineering, University of VirginiaDr. Jason Papin is a professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Virginia, and he serves as one of the University of Virginia iGEM team’s advisors. Dr. Papin received his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of California at San Diego in 2004. Dr. Papin’s research interests focus on modeling of biochemical networks and their role in disease states. Dr. Papin is an invaluable resource when it comes to learning about computational modelling and always lends his help to the team when we are in need. |

Matthew TuckerMatthew Tucker serves as one of the University of Virginia iGEM team’s advisors. Matt is a two-time iGEM veteran, participating in U.Va.’s 2013 and 2014 projects. He is a recent graduate of the University of Virginia, with a degree in Chemical Engineering. Matt always lends himself to helping the team in any way he can, and he is an invaluable resource to the iGEM team. Without his constant aid and technical advice, we would probably still be at the starting block, and for this we offer Matt a very special thank you. |

Other Supporters | |||
Kay ChristopherUpper Level Labs Preparator, University of VirginiaKay Christopher has been a huge supporter of many iGEM teams over the years, and graciously provides the team with her lab space, her materials, and most importantly, her invaluable knowledge. The 2015 iGEM team thanks Ms. Christopher immensely for her support. |
Frederick Epstein, Ph.D.Professor and Chair of Biomedical Engineering, Professor of Radiology, U.Va.Professor Fred Epstein has been a supporter of a few iGEM teams, and through the funding of the U.Va. Biomedical Engineering Department, Dr. Epstein has generously provided financially for U.Va. iGEM over the years. We are very thankful to Dr. Epstein for his ongoing support of U.Va. iGEM. |
||
George Cahen, Ph.D.Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, U.Va & Associate Vice President, Virginia Engineering FoundationProfessor George Cahen is a long-time supporter of U.Va. iGEM, and he has graciously supported iGEM financially through the Lacy Alumni Engineering fund, but even more importantly Dr. Cahen has remained a contact point and resource for many iGEM teams, and we are very thankful for his ongoing support. |
Susanna Keller, M.D.Dr. Susanna Keller is a distinguished MD/Ph.D member of the University of Virginia research facility located in Fontaine Research Park. Her research interests include insulin signaling, metabolism, and intracellular insulin trafficking across membranes, which fortunately complement our VGEM project this year. Dr. Keller has been instrumental in giving us feedback on the scientific merits of our project and providing us with opportunities for Policy and Practices. She will be a key interviewee of the Documentary/Podcast segment of our Policy and Practices component where she provides very informative and pragmatic feedback and data about diabetes and our project in general. |

Office of the Vice President for ResearchU.Va. iGEM is especially grateful to the fine faculty with the Office of the Vice President for Research, who, once again, has been the largest financer of U.Va. iGEM. We could not do anything that we do without their very generous donations, and we are thankful for their continued support. |
