The team
Students
Lisza Bruder - Team Leader
Lisza Bruder is entering her second year as an iGEM participant and the final year of her biochemistry studies at the University of Lethbridge. After the amazing experience last year, Lisza is now an instructor for the team to help guide the new enthusiastic members and the development of the project. At the University of Lethbridge she has discovered her fascination and love for proteins and research and has decided to pursue a career in research by continuing into graduate school when her degree is complete. Outside of her love of proteins and research she enjoys the power she has over her iGEM minions.
Mackenzie Coatham
Mackenzie Coatham is going into her third year of biochemistry studies at the University of Lethbridge. This is her second year participating in iGEM and as lab coordinator and a member of the ethics team she hopes to gain further experience in the growing field of synthetic biology. As an undergraduate, she works in the summer in the biochemistry lab of HJ Wieden. She has been known to deny the fact that she is a major gLeek!
Anthony Vuong
“I, Anthony Vuong, was born and raised in Lethbridge. I graduated from Winston Churchill High School in 2008 and am currently in my second year of a B. Sc. degree majoring in Biology at the University of Lethbridge. I attend weekly Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu classes with Lethbridge Choy Lee Fut and am also part of the Lethbridge Lion Dance Team operating through the Lethbridge Chinese Free Mason’s Hung Mun Athletics Association. In my free time, I enjoy watching and playing tennis. I can draw fairly well; however, I have not picked up a drawing pencil in a few years. In fact, my picture is a self portrait I did in my senior year of high school. I have always enjoyed science and believe that iGEM is a great way to expose myself to the new expanding field of synthetic biology while gaining some lab experience along the way.“
Josh Sorell
"I grew up in the magnificent city of Calgary where wild people roam and animals sit civilized. Then promptly at the age of 19, I began academicizing at the center for academics, the University of Lethbridge. I left my established abode for this center; for it gave me credit for the AP courses I took at William Aberhart High School and had small class sizes. I am studying biochemistry and am in my 3rd year, of which aquatic biology actually was my favorite class because I had the opportunity to learn so many specifics about North American aquatic organisms. What I hope to get out of the iGEM experience is knowledge about molecular biology and satisfaction on how I helped forward the field of synthetic biology. In my free time I play Starcraft 2 from Blizzard Entertainment, subsidiary of Activision and also try to build sweet devices like a tesla coil. Coiled in my free time lies another beast which is my favorite food, ribs, they are so good."
Harland Brandon
My name is Harland Brandon. Some people like to refer to me with a variety of variations on my name, however, I personally prefer Harlando. I am going into my third year majoring in Biochemistry at the University of Lethbridge. This is my first year on the school iGEM team and I am fulling enjoying it. I am from Lethbridge and my goal in life is to become a doctor. My biggest fears include; papercuts, centipedes, anything to do with running naked, and a world without chocolate. Aside from these fears I enjoy golfing, eating, drawing, gaming, running clothed, chocolate, and the little mints left on your pillow at hotels.

Justin Vigar
My good peoples, My name is Justin Vigar. I am awesome, and that is all that is needed to be said. I will be here all summer for autographs. Thank you very much for your support.
Katherine Gzyl
Hi I am Katherine. In the fall I will be entering my third year in biochemistry at the U of L. This is my first year in iGEM and I am really excited to be part of the team! My goal in life is to create mini monopolies from coffee shops that will eventually turn into a centralized giant monopoly that will take over the world. To assist me in this I will have to create fire-breathing dragons. Oh I also enjoy snowboarding and the sun.

Grad Students
Adam Smith - Lab Technician
Adam Smith moved to Lethbridge in September of 2001 to study Biochemistry at the University of Lethbridge. After graduating with his Masters of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Lethbridge in 2008, Adam moved into the role of Research Assistant in Dr. Steven Mosimann’s (his graduate supervisor) biochemistry laboratory. He is excited to be joining Dr. HJ Wieden (his graduate co-supervisor) on a part-time foray into the world of iGEM and is particularly pleased to be experiencing the field of synthetic biology in its infancy. When not in the lab, Adam tries to balance outdoor activities such as skiing and hiking with vigorous sessions of sitting on the couch watching ‘Friends’ re-runs.
