Students

This year's team consists of twelve students from the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology, medicine, biomedicine, physics, chemistry and philosophy!
During the summer we have been split up into five subgroups, three labgroups and two theoretical groups. One labgroup has been working with the development of the photosensor, one with hyperflagellating the bacteria and one with creating the retinal generator. The two theoretical groups have been focusing on modelling and biosafety, respectively.

Christian

I am a 2^nd year medical student out of my element, doing synthetic biology for an entire summer and fall. It's been good to get away from the books, to do actual experimental work on something live. My main interests are in neurology and cognitive development, but the thought of tinkering with E. coli and fruitfly DNA was enough to get me out of my comfort zone, and into something that has shown to be more challenging and engaging than most other things I've had a chance to involve myself in.
In this years competition I've been working on the retinal part, although I've tried to involve myself as much as possible in all aspects of the project. I can't wait to show it all off in Boston!

I'm a total baller!

I am 23 years old and I study Biomedicine on 4^th year.

Maria

Marie

I am 20 years old and I have just begun my third year of studies of biochemistry and molecular biology. My work in the iGEM project has primarily been focused on creating the retinal generator.
In the rare hours when I’m not working on iGEM, I earn a little extra money in IKEA by helping people find the bookcase that’s exactly right for them, or I spend time with the people closest to me. When I’m alone, I know of nothing better than to sit in a comfortable chair with a good book, jazz on the radio and a glass of white wine.
Apart from intending to become a famous scientist and the first single person to win a Nobel prize thrice, I also aspire to becoming an author, probably of slightly supernatural novels for grown kids and young adults.
I am the youngest member of the team and the only one not allowed to drink alcohol while in Boston, which is cause for mild irritation.

Clive, also known as pSB1C3, is our team mascot. He was only a tiny kitten when he joined the iGEM team but has grown into a rebellious teenager in the meantime!
