Team

• Raneem AlJaghoub

  Raneem was part of the outreach team, developing the Policies and Practices part of our project. She interviewed international politicians and developed a questionnaire on synthetic biology. Raneem also contributed in the realization and improvement of the wiki as well as constructing the parameters list for the modelling and designing the project. Raneem was a presenter at the Boston Jamboree.



• James Aston

  James developed the model of our system; he went the extra mile and rendered the equations into a code and afterwards into a 3D animation of our system. James also created the wiki skeleton and improved it during the competition. He collaborated the UNITN iGEM team by helping to create a model for their system. He also designed the project. James was a presenter at the Boston Jamboree.



• Anna Beltrami

  Anna was part of the wet lab team. In particular, she performed transformations, produced competent cells and helped capture pictures of the control samples with the Atomic Force Microscope. Anna constructed the organisational infrastructure of the team. She managed the social network channels and the overall communications with other teams, liasing collaborations. She helped review the wiki and she designed the project. Anna was a presenter at the Boston Jamboree.



• Moyra Chikomo

  Moyra was part of the outreach team, developing the Policies and Practices part of our project. She wrote post notes and helped in the creation of a questionnaire on synthetic biology. Moyra created and improved the poster and logo of our project. She helped review the wiki and she designed the project.



• Richard Crane

  Richard was part of the wet lab team. In particular, he took part in most of the Lab work. His main contribution lies specifically in the imaging of the congo red and heme plates for the validation part of our project. He has made most agarose gels within the team.



• Rob Middlewick

  Rob was involved in lab work at the initial stages of the project where he did mostly transformations. His main contribution lies within the scientific writing of our project. This included the project description and the description of our BioBricks.



• Katarina Pisani

  Kat being part of the main lab team was involved in almost all the wet lab aspects of our project. Her predominant contribution included carrying out PCR reaction protocols to produce our main raw materials of our experiments. She also carried out ligations.



• Jonathan Pope

  Jonathan being our social secretary organised events weekly and managed our iGem social networking sites. He was also responsible for creating our posters and Envirowire logo. He has presented at our outreach events and has also assisted the lab team.



• Natalie Sloan

  Natalie took part in designing the wiki and the Kent iGEM logo. She is also part of the main lab team where she has done more mini-preps than any other members in the lab team. Furthermore, she performed transformation and Gibson assembly reactions.



• Suparna Thakali

  Suparna’s contribution includes being part of the main lab team where she mainly took part in carrying out Gibson assembly and ligation reactions. She also took part at the university’s outreach event presenting to the general public about our project.



• Alice Tomlinson

  Alice was involved in organising the outreach aspect of our project such as gathering MPs opinion on synthetic biology and its possible applications in our society. She also conducted interviews and presented our project to the general public at our meet-ups. The majority of her time has been spent in the lab carrying out Gibson assembly and testing conductivity of our amyloid producing cells.
