Who we are

Comickate.png
  • Name: Kate Bulpin
  • Powers: Ice manipulation
  • Bio: Kate was born and raised in cornwall UK. She began an early career in the sciences by earning a degree in biology at the age of 21. It was during this time that a freak accident in the lab left the warm hearted Kate with an icy chill touch. Seeing this as a blessing, she decided to put her powers only good use. Meanwhile, it was Kate's decision to focus an interest in social sciences, persuing a PhD at Sheffield University in how people become scientists and develop a disciplinary identity. Her main role as part of the team is to catalyse the formation of ideas for their work on human practices as well as study the team as part of her own work.

  • Name: Nii Armah Armah
  • Powers: Able to feeze time through the action of dance
  • Bio: Nii's powers are of an unknown phenomenon. Sence birth he has always complained of a distracting beat that at times becomes so powerful he feels an insatiable urge to break into dance. Only recently has this evolved to a state that Nii sees time freeze around him when he persues this beat. One release Nii has found from this beat is by concentrating on unrelated tasks. This led to him persuing an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering and joining the iGEM 2010 team. Nii concentrates on modelling work for the team, but also participates in web designing and livening everyone up. His outer interests remain unknown.


We are from The University of Sheffield. A team of 7 students from genetics, engineering and social science. We are funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
