Advisors

Nick Buchler

Nick really likes oscillators, such as the cell cycle, metabolic rhythms, circadian clocks, and synthetic oscillators. Folks in his lab use a combination of synthetic biology, time lapse microscopy, microfluidics, comparative genomics, mathematical modelling, and molecular genetics to understand biological oscillation. When he's not in lab, he's at home on five acres in the Duke forest with his family. The summer fireflies are very satisfying to watch.

Charles Gersbach

Dr. Charles A. Gersbach is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Center for Genomic and Computational Biology at Duke University. He has research interests in gene therapy, regenerative medicine, biomolecular and cellular engineering, synthetic biology, and genomics. Dr. Gersbach received his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University School of Medicine focusing on the genetic reprogramming of adult stem cells for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration. Dr. Gersbach completed his postdoctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute in molecular biology and biochemistry. Dr. Gersbach's laboratory at Duke University is focused on applying molecular and cellular engineering to applications in gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and basic science. Examples of technologies used in his research include genome engineering and protein engineering.

Inspiration

You can look at what other teams did to get some inspiration!
Here are a few examples:

• METU Turkey
• Colombia
• Stony Brook
• OUC-China

What should this page contain?

• Include pictures of your teammates, don’t forget instructors and advisors!
• You can add a small biography or a few words from each team member, to tell us what you like, and what motivated you to participate in iGEM.
• Take team pictures! Show us your school, your lab and little bit of your city.
• Remember that image galleries can help you showcase many pictures while saving space.
