Jan Bejvl
Martin Cienciala
Martin is a Molecular Biologist by degree, who has always gravitated towards the field of Synthetic Biology. He is currently a student at the Charles University in Prague where he gained more than two years of experience of laboratory and research work. His positive nature does not allow for the possibility of failure, which might actually make the lab experiments work well. He is the main enthusiast of developing our technology into a commercial product.
Martin is the leader of Module 3 and the one performing microfluidic experiments.
Hynek Kasl
Hynek Kasl is a graduate student with 4 years of experience in Synthetic Biology, currently enrolled in the Cybernetics graduate program at the UWB. He is driven by unexpected solutions provided by his truly interdisciplinary intuition developed through persistent work at the intersection of bioengineering, mathematics, and physics. His approach involves foundational development of ideas using rigorous mathematical analysis backed by experimental evidence.
He is the leader of Module 1. He has also worked extensively on the mathematical models used in the CeCe simulator, such as the diffusion modelling and the lattice boltzmann method.
Veronika Kolejáková
Veronika is a tireless individual who has made an effort to work in a laboratory during her university studies as soon as possible and discovered the field of biotechnology on the way. She finished her bachelor studies in Molecular Biology at the Charles University in Prague and is transitioning to study Computing Science. She thrives in the interdisciplinary nature of iGEM and the team at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen.
Veronika has worked on the Module 3 and our Human Practices.
Jiří Louda
Václav Pelíšek
Vaclav, or Pelda as everyone calls him, is the youngest member of our team who greatly contributed to our efforts. He not only fabricated the microfluidic chips and assisted with experiments to whoever needed a helping hand, but also built the parts of CeCe simulator essential for our project. He is currently a student of the Cybernetics bachelor program at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and focuses on Mathematics and Programming. In addition, you can always count on him on making the lab atmosphere more cheerful.
Vaclav is responsible for developing many of the CeCe simulator components, the wiki page code, making of the microfluidic chips, and experimental assistance.

Jiří Fatka
Jiri is a Ph.D. candidate focusing on Bioinformatics and possesses a strong background in Computer Science. He is an extremely diligent person who is enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge with younger and less experienced students. We have a beautiful wiki page and an accurate and reliable simulator thanks to his advice and guidance.
Jiri supported us with his unbeatable knowledge of HTML and CSS, built the core functionality of the CeCe simulator and advised on the development of its additional features.

Pavel Zach
Pavel is a PhD student, involved in the synthetic biology at the UWB from the earliest days. During these years, he contributed to several SynBio projects at the http://www.zcu.cz/en/ UWB and http://www.upv.es/ UPV. His main goal is to bring the standardization and design methodology from engineering into synthetic biology. During the summer, he advised Module 2 and supervised the BioBrick construction.
