Team:

Alan Koh I am a first year PhD student with a biotechnology and microbiology background. My research area is identifying factors that regulate the initiation of DNA replication in the model Gram-positive organism Bacillus subtilis. Apart from that, I love to travel and I am a food lover. Yummy! That's why I'm fat!
Jannetta Steyn MSc Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology Main roles in iGEM team: Workflows, Graphics, Wiki Hobbies: I do Tae Kwon Do and play with my two kids. Favourite quote: "Youth ages, Immaturity is outgrown, Ignorance can be educated, drunkeness sobered. But stupid lasts forever", Aristophenes
Harsh Sheth I am currently in my third year studying BSc Hons Human Genetics and I am particularly keen on cell cycle and it's regulation. My main hobbies are listening to music and watching documentaries on TV. I have an urge to learn new things and give everything a different perspective. With iGEM I can widen the spectrum of my skills and can learn new techniques. My main role in the team is to do research on the genetics of B. subtilis.
Philip Hall I am currently studying my third and final year in BSc Biochemistry. Apart from synthetic biology, I am also passionate about music and acting, particularly the works of Gilbert and Suillivan. I am currently preparing for the University Christmas choral/orchestral concert and to play the roles of Ernest Dummkopf in the Grand Duke and Earl Tolloller in Iolanthe.
Rachel May Boyd I am currently studying Genetics. My main hobby is karate, I am currently training towards second Dan. I enjoy studying the sciences and think iGEM is a great opportunity to broaden my range of skills.
Steven Woodhouse I'm a third year undergraduate Computer Science student at the University of Newcastle. I've recently become interested in the areas of computational and synthetic biology.
Younus Essa I am currently a third year student at Newcastle University studying Biochemistry with Immunology.
Deena Tsu I am a third year Civil Engineering student. I am having a lot of fun learning synthetic biology and at the same time doing lab works.

Instructors:

Professor Anil Wipat Professor of Integrative Bioinformatics One of the Computing/Biology hybrids that runs the iGEM team.
Dr. Jennifer Hallinan Academic Fellow of School of Computing Sciences The other Computing/Biology hybrid that runs the iGEM team.

Advisors:

Professor Colin Harwood Professor of Molecular Microbiology
Dr Jem Stach Lecturer of School of Biology
Dr Colin Davie Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering
Dr Matthew Pocock Senior Research Associate
Dr Wendy Smith Research Associate
Goksel Misirli PhD Student in School of Computing Science
