Meet our team

Dwayne "the Rock-y" Balboa

A stone cold scientist with a heart of gold. His interests include: mountaineering, long walks on the beach, and skipping. Although he may seem stoic he heats up under pressure and is an excellent addition to the team.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Liam Carroll

A first year Biomedical scientist with a penchant for puns and an inability to not make them at the worst possible times; interested in the medical applications of every technology ever. Has only ever beaten Eggy twice at chess after more than 50 games. Is terrified of Aneesa’s daily beatings. Official title: lab monkey.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Matthew Chester

Matthew has recently graduated in Biological Sciences and has research interests in climate science and epidemiology. Matt will be using his Northern charm to whip the members who are more into chess than anything else into shape with the ambition to win.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Iain Galpin

A Biochemist between undergrad and a Masters programme, Iain has a tendency to bodge together things that just should not be created. He is interested in the challenge of research, as well as the future applications. Official title (in his head at least): Mad Scientist.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ben Hayward

Ben has recently finished his third year of a four year Maths and Mhysics Masters program. He is interested in applying his experience in mathematical construction to other areas of science, as well as prosocial enterprise. Less talkative than Dwayne, but full of banter.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Marylka Griffiths

Marylka is a recent graduate of Biological Science. With an artistic flair Marylka had the inspiration to transform our project into a synthetic biology bioart project in order to graphically represent future applications and depict our microscopic findings in accessible and beautiful ways.

Mark Egheosa Iyen Chesley Ogbomo III

A first year Engineer known underground as a bad boy chess player. His street cred on campus is as intimidating as the sound of his alias ‘Eggymayo’. His ultimate dream is to become an astronaut (no seriously) and nothing interests him as much as learning new things.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Aneesa Sheikh

Aneesa is a first year Biomedical student. Ever the perfectionist, Aneesa has skills in the lab and endless outreach contacts in the local area. She is also (apparently) the least funny member of the team, although we all know that that’s a lie!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jake Swain

I am the seventh son of a seventh son and was born on a full moon, the doctors that delivered me said that when I came into this world a new star appeared in the sky brighter than the rest and that I blinded a man who looked upon me for too long. I was unanimously appointed team czar due to my unbelievable intelligence, natural perfection andd AthENTIOn to deTAIL/. Also a second year engineer.
