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.


Where we're from

The Republic

We hail from many places of the Mexican Republic, such as:


Mexico City




Puebla, Puebla




León, Guanajuato




Texcoco, Estado de México




Chimalhuacán, Estado de México



Tlalmanalco, Estado de México



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.

The above picture is the Main Entrance to the Lecture Halls. The hammock to the left is quite comfortable in hot days ;)

iGEM

iGEM is the International Genetically Engineered Machines Competition, held each year at MIT and organized with support of the Parts Registry. See more here.

Synthetic Biology

This is defined as attempting to manipulate living objects as if they were man-made machines, specifically in terms of genetic engineering. See more here.

Genomics

We are students on the Genomic Sciences program at the Center for Genomic Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, campus Morelos. See more here.
