Riccardo Barini worked on: all the activities connected with wiki
design, updating and freezer management. He also helped the team
during the data analysis of quantitative experiments on self-inducible
devices.
Sara Bisi worked on: the design of intein sequence, as well as the
design and construction of protein fusions with phasin and intein. She
also designed and performed (with Federica) validation experiments for
PHB granules production. She participated to the fund raising
activities to gain financial aid from private companies. She had the
idea (with Alessandro) of using PHB as a solid substrate for
phasin-tagged protein purification.
Nicolò Politi worked on: all the activities
(design/construction/experimental validation and data analysis)
connected with the self-inducible devices. He also had the idea
(with Susanna and Lorenzo) of the design of self-inducible promoters.
He helped during the design of the integrative vector for E. coli
and performed with Federica the validation experiments on it.
Finally, he performed fluorescence assays on intein fusion proteins.
Alessandro Ranieri worked on: the design of phasin and intein fusion
proteins. He had the idea (with Sara) of using PHB as a solid
substrate for phasin-tagged protein purification. He also had the idea
of using an engineered inducible intein to cleave the tag after the
purification. He transferred the selected BioBrick parts in pSB1C3
shipping vector and performed the quality control on them.
Federica Sampietro worked on: all the activities connected with
invention/design/construction/experimental validation of the yeast
integrative vector. She worked on the construction of parts for the
integrative vector for E. coli, PHB/phasin and intein sub-projects.
She also designed and performed the validation experiments on PHB
granules production (with Sara) and the validation experiments on
phasin binding (with Manuel Z.).
Chiara Tassorelli performed: an accurate analysis of past iGEM
projects during the first steps of our activities, as well as the
analysis of the literature for all the selected subprojects. She is
now the responsible of the poster and presentation design. She also
designed the logo and worked on wiki design.
Manuel Zocco worked on: the construction of phasin fusion proteins
(with Sara and Federica) and performed the experiments on PHB/phasin
binding (with Federica). He also helped during validation experiments
by PCR on the integrative vector for E. coli and he had the idea (with
Manuel L.) of the integrative vector for E. coli.
Manuel Lupotto had the idea of the integrative vector for E. coli (with
Manuel Z.). He supervised part of the every day work in the wetlab during
cloning and experimental validation activities. He also supervised the
experiments about PHB granules production validation and the yeast integrative
vector validation (with Susanna). Primer design supervisor.
Matteo Meroso supervised all the activities
(design/construction/experimental validation) connected with the
integrative vector for E. coli. He also supervised (with Susanna) the
design of experiments for the self-inducible devices.
Lorenzo Pasotti coordinated the team during the brainstorming
sessions, project discussions and during the submission and
documentation of BioBrick parts to the Registry. Instructor for the
rest of the team about physical and functional standardization in
Synthetic Biology. He had the idea (with Susanna and Nicolò) of the design of
self-inducible devices.
Giacomo Zambianchi supervised the design and construction of phasin
and intein fusion proteins, as well as the test constructs and the
validation experiments. Instructor for the rest of the team about wiki
design, management and updating. He is also the freezer management
coordinator and the advisor of the fundraising activities.
Susanna Zucca planned and coordinated all the student and advisor
activities in both wetlab and drylab and trained the students for the
cloning and quantitative experiments. She also had the idea (with
Lorenzo and Nicolò) of the design of self-inducible devices. She supervised the
cloning and experimental validation activities in integrative vector
for yeast, self-inducible devices and part of the PHB/phasin and
intein sub-projects. Instructor for the rest of the team about
promoter measurement, modeling and data analysis.
Gabriella Cusella is the leader of the wetlab in which the students
worked during the summer. She organized the spaces, the instruments
and the lab funds dedicated to the iGEM project.
Paolo Magni coordinated all the project activities: meetings, project
timeline, fundraising, contacts with media and institutions. Registry,
wiki, poster and presentation supervisor (with the other advisors). He
also performed the selection of the team students and he participated
(with the other adivsors) to all the discussions about project
problems and issues.
All team members contributed equally to brainstorming sessions, BioBrick parts selection and project documentation.
