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 plays. I have acted in quite a few stage plays since a few years ago.
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. Wendy Smith Research Associate
Dr. Jem Stach Lecturer of School of Biology
