STUDENTS ADVISORS SUPERVISORS

Name: Aimee Lamb Current Studies: Anatomy and physiology Role: Our twitter cover girl, hashtag extraordinaire and day brighten-upper About you: Aimée never fails to cheer us up in the lab with her chit chat and big smile. She’s very relaxed when it comes to following a protocol! But somehow still manages to get the job done. She is also very determined even after the 18th attempt at cloning the same gene! Her favourite thing in the world (other than iGEM of course…) is anything sweet. It’s fair to say that she is totally obsessed with cake! Why iGEM: Why not? Most likely to be arrested for: Either sexual harassment or breaking into a patisserie. Name: Caitlin Connolly Current Studies: Molecular genetics Role: Spicing up our Friday nights and keeping our benches tidy! About you: She’s very strict when it comes to following a protocol! Caitlin loves her biology and takes lab work very seriously – although her PPE could do with some work after an incident involving her fingernail and a centrifuge. She cheers us up with her great puns, sassy chat and never fails to snap us out of our bad moods! Why iGEM: Why not?

Name: Callum Tromans-Coia Current Studies: Role: About you: Why iGEM: Most likely to be arrested for: Name: Conner Craigon Current Studies: Molecular Microbiology Role: I am part of the wet lab team, I work on the biospray, nasal mucus mostly. About you: I am originally from Perth a small town on the east of Scotland. I aim to go into research after my degree. I'm a avid gamer and I love reading non-fiction science novels. Why iGEM: I have always had an interest in synthetic biology and when I found out about this competition I just felt that I had to be a part of that. Most likely to be arrested for: Possession of a controlled explosive substance. Name: Ed Current Studies: Role: About you: Why iGEM: Most likely to be arrested for: Name: Fiona Macfarlane Current Studies: Fiona Macfarlane Role: Dry team mother figure. Queen of MATLAB. About you: Fiona is a 4th Year math-bio student. When she isn’t mothering the dry team she’s mothering her foot soldiers at the Girls’ Brigade. Her hobbies include listening to Scottish folk and world domination. Her name has become synonymous with mathematical perfection: “Wow you just totally Fiona’d your homework”. Why iGEM: Why not? Most likely to be arrested for: Assisting her friend rob a bank because they asked her politely. Name: Hannah Boyd Current Studies: Physics Role: Dry lab, mainly focusing on bone incision experiment About you: Currently in my fourth year of a Physics undergraduate course. On the side I also work in a bar, help run Dundee University Physics Society and keep up with my favourite hobby, gin. Why iGEM: I wanted the chance to apply the knowledge and skills I have learnt from studying physics to a project focusing on such a relevant and current area, synthetic biology. Most likely to be arrested for: Testing out the bone incision experiment on fellow teammate, Edward. Name: Current Studies: Role: About you: Why iGEM: Most likely to be arrested for: Name: Manuel Blank Current Studies: Biological Sciences Role: Chromate Sensor About you: Jack of all trades is what I tend to be described as. That just so happens when broad interests lead to interesting detours in the early career. Why iGEM: Because it's the most amazing way of encouraging entrepreneurship as an undergraduate student. I started iGEM as a Biologist, but I ended being from a Physicist to a Networking Champion. There are a lot of these so called prestigious internships out there, but what use is all the prestige if there is no fun and no 'out of the comfort zone' experience involved. Most likely to be arrested for: Civil disobedience - Being arrested after causing a riot by eating a steak at the world vegan summit.
