The Macquarie University 2015 iGEM team would like to thank Macquarie University for the support they have made available for our team, including materials, laboratories and personnel. We would also like to thank everyone from the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences (CBMS) for their continuous support and encouragement towards this year's iGEM Project. The 2015 Macquarie University iGEM Team would additionally like to thank the 2013 and 2014 Macquarie University iGEM Teams for their parts in this project.

Students

This year our iGEM team was divided into three major groups. The ChlH Team, who took it upon themselves to spend endless hours in the lab to ensure the completion of this core component of our project; Photosystem II Team, that designed and built the world’s first proteins for this process; and the Chlorophyll a Team, that devoted their time to correct previously submitted biobricks. To learn more about each member of our iGEM team, please visit our team page.

Instructors and Advisors

Our team would like to say a special thanks to our instructors and advisors:

  • Dr. Louise Brown for her constant presence and guidance in the laboratory and her input towards all areas of human practice.
  • Associate Professor Robert Willows for his invaluable laboratory input and interpretation of this year’s modeling project.
  • Professor Ian Paulsen, who prepared our team for Boston, and for continuously giving his time in both Human Practice activities and answering questions in all areas of microbial physiology.
  • Professor Nicki Packer for her help towards funding our project, and supporting our team’s emotional journey.
