• Richard Crossland
  • Studying MSc Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology.
  • Main roles in iGem team: Researching into a kill switch so bacteria don't disrupt the structure of the crack once it has been repaired. I have done two research projects before and have lots of experience of working on teams of this size.
  • Hobbies: piano, running, listening to music (Bach, Chopin, Metallica)
  • Favourite quote: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." (Albert Einstein).
  • Sub-Project - Modelling my idea of a linear DNA clock as an iGEM subproject which can be found here [1].

• Da Ye

Currently studying Biomedical Sciences in Newcastle University as a second year student. I'm particularly interested in the different areas of science, but at the same time, I am open and willing to learn new things, and I believe that iGEM provides this great opportunity for me.

• Harsh Sheth

I am currently in my second year studying BSc Hons Human Genetics and I am particularly keen on cell cycle and it's regulation. My main hobby is to listen music and watch 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

• Rachel May Boyd

I am currently studying Human genetics. My main hobby is karate,I am currently training towards second Dan. I enjoy studying the sciences and think iGEM is a great oppertunity to broaden my range of skills. Currently my main role is to do research on the genetic side of things.

• Steven Woodhouse
  • I'm a second year undergraduate Computer Science student at the University of Newcastle. I've recently become interested in the areas of computational and synthetic biology.
