My love is like a red red rose that newly springs in June, if you don’t see that is an allusion to the modelling of quorum sensing then there is no hope for you. Because we all know that it springs at 0.008 arbitrary units per mouse intestine on up regulation and at a somewhat smaller but quantitatively unknown value on down regulation. That is enough about me since I must now leave to play that funky music. Peace out. |

I am a cell biologist with a focus on neuroscience. I was attracted to the interdisciplinary nature of iGem and also by the opportunity to do novel research in a fairly independent manner. In my opinion I bring: a general understanding of lab procedure; a try anything once attitude and an appreciation of malt whisky to the team. I am hoping that this project will lead to me being more skilled and comfortable in the lab, it will also provide me with exposure to an area of science that would have been unavailable otherwise. |

I am a first year medical student with a passion for research. I entered medicine from the other side of the science spectrum, with a background in engineering. I was always involved in mathematics and physics field at high school. The interdisciplinary character of iGEM fascinated me. Being involved in the first iGEM team of St Andrews University was challenging and an excellent learning experience. iGEM was first experience analyzing papers and planning biological experiments and it was very rewarding for me. Last but not least, I like playing water polo, archery and travelling. |

I’m a second year chemistry student who gets enthusiastic about good spectra, chelation and names of organic molecules. Getting to contribute this to an interdisciplinary project this summer is a definite win. On getting used to working in the biology lab, I began to express myself through the miniprep and nanodrop dance. Aside from general enthusiasm for science, technology and the community of innovation, I enjoy kayaking, playing the guitar, barbeques and real ale. |
