I’m Silvia Galvan. I’m 22 years, and I was born in Borgo Valsugana (Trento), where I live with my family. I am currently a student of the Bachelor of Science in Biomolecular Sciences and Technology program at the University of Trento. My passion is running. I have been into athletics since I was a child. I enjoy spending time with my two lovely nephews and with my teammates, of course! We’re having such a great summer in the lab. The work is hard sometimes, but we have a lot of fun together. I feel really lucky to have had the possibility to be an IGEMer and to have found such a great team! I am mainly dealing with the proteorhodopsin part. Fun fact: I have a dog named Brick, sometimes I call him BioBrick!

Riccardo Corbellari
Hi! I’m Riccardo Corbellari. I was born in Verona, and I’m 21. I’m attending a B.SC. in “Biomolecular Sciences and Technologies” at the University of Trento. I thought I was an only child, but during this summer I found out I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers: my iGEM family! I love playing handball, watching movies, and hanging out with friends. I also like to play around with my teammates but when it’s time to work no one is more serious than me. Mainly I’m involved in the construction of pncB, in developing a functional pMFC, and into designing our prototype. To sum up: what is 15 and 18?

I am Veronica. I was born in Cles, a small town in a small valley near Trento. I’m attending the third year of the "Biomolecular Sciences and Technology" B.Sc. program in Trento. I usually spend my free time with friends at the lake. I really love science and also my teammates (more or less). This summer I’m having such a great time in the lab with them: we laugh hard but work harder. Mainly I’m involved in the retinal expression in E. coli. I hope you will appreciate and enjoy our project as much as I did.
