The Team
Members
Abi Rowbotham - is a first year biology student and has worked on the growth assay aspect of the project as well as the outreach program. She has also been part of the social media team. She enjoys baking.
Adam Brain - is a second year biology student and has worked on two main aspects of the team. Besides working with the growth assay team to develop a functional test, he has done extensive work on the wiki page. Well known as an avid owl enthusiast, he keeps busy as chief engineer of the University of York radio station.
Clare Draper - is a first year biochemistry student and has a keen interest in biologics and regenerative medicine. Within iGEM, she is part of the molecular biology team, undertaking both dry lab and wet lab work over the summer. Her responsibilities have been organising the travel to Boston, securing sponsorships, maintaining supplies for the lab and general budgeting. She has also been involved with outreach events and other human practices aspects of the project.
Ivan Gyulev is a final year geneticist, and has overseen most of the molecular biology experiments and has designed the synthetic gene constructs.
JunHee Jung is a first year biologist, and has worked on the phosphate assay and wiki page. Working with Mat, he achieved the a record time of growth assay preparation. He has a fascination with canned tuna, even maintaining a popular instagram of his finds.
Katy Davis
Kristina Aare - is a final year biochemist. Her responsibilities included confocal microscopy imaging and fluorescence-based sensitive assays for measurement of micromolar concentrations of polyphosphate. Aside from iGEM, she is highly dedicated to cancer research. Outside the lab, she is known as an essayist, polyglot and art critic.
Liz Alexianu - is a second year genetics student and has worked on several aspects of the project. While working in the lab with the molecular biology team, she maintains the social media accounts for the team and works to organise various team events. She has also been part of the wiki team to keep the page updated. Outside of work, she enjoys running, cooking, travelling and working on various society committees at the university.
Mat Milner is a final year geneticist. He has assisted most of the various aspects of this year's project, from working on the growth and phosphate assays to wiki work and outreach, he has been involved in practically everything. In his free time, he is an avid gamer and enjoys a nice whiskey.
Matthew Higgins - is a first year student studying towards a BSc in Biochemistry. His responsibility was in organising the analysis of our engineered E.coli. This involved creating a phosphate and polyphosphate assay as well as carrying out 31P NMR. Apart from analysis Matt has an interest in business so took on the role of writing the team’s business plan. In his free time, Matt enjoys the outdoors and getting ready for rugby season.
Instructors
Erin Cullen - graduated from the University of York in July, and has thoroughly enjoyed acting as an advisor to the team this year. She was involved with dry lab research at the start of the project, and had a major role in co-ordinating and participating in outreach activities with the local community. Taking the project to Badger Hill Primary School and holding an ‘iGEM open day’ at St Helen’s Church in York were particular outreach highlights. In her spare time Erin enjoys volunteering, yoga and playing flute.
Henry Nicholls
Joseph Tresise - is the only Chemistry student on the team and has recently recieved his Masters degree. His main responsibility has been dry lab research before the start of labwork and advising the team based on his past experience with the iGEM team.
Rachael Evans
Robyn Whiting -
Sophie Rugg - is a first year PhD student working on developing a biosensor to detect the herbicide glyphosate. She has been invaluble to the team, helping us troubleshoot many lab problems, supervising and providing much needed advice on various protocols.
