Team:UNAM-Genomics Mexico/Team

The Whole Team

We are a bunch of college students with nothing to do but play with expensive waters.

The link on the names will take you to our Work pages (usually Open Wet Ware based). Most of our work on this iGEM is documented there.

Advisors

Dr. Miguel Ángel Ramírez Romero: Grows impossible things in wetlab
Dr. Juan Carlos Martínez García: Writes wonder models
Dr. Christopher Wood: Knows how to play with light
Dr. Karla Cedano Villavicencio: Advisor on Socials, Human Practices, Budget & Related

Special Thanks

Héctor: special thanks to the folks at [http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ DynamicDrive] for some very useful web tools, as well as the guys at the [http://groups.google.com/group/kappa-users KappaUsers forum] for some great assistance and troubleshooting with the Kappa language.

Mariana: I really want to thank Dr. Jesús Caballero Mellado and his lab group, with his enthusiasm and friendly guidance, he was a life example (may he rest in peace). I want to thank all the people who was always willing to help us: Our instructors and advisors, Dr. Susana López for lending us her luminometer, and many others who make this possible.

Jorge Arturo: I'd like to thank Mario Sandoval Calderon and his lab for proving us with an important plasmid and enzyme, as well as wet lab guidance.

Amhed: I thank for everyone of the lab that help us with the instruments and help.

Genomics

Though we do not come from the same hometown, we are all attending the same University. That is the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Campus Morelos, in the city of Cuernavaca. Most of us met here when we entered the Genomic Sciences Program. As such, we are a tight bunch.
