Silvia Restrepo, Ph. D.

Dr. Restrepo is the leader and main researcher at the Laboratory of Mycology and Phytopathology of the Universidad de los Andes. Additionally, she is the dean of the Department of Biological Sciences.Her main research topic is phytopathology, and her favorite organism is Phytophthora infestans, of course!.

Grad students (Also known as the Aging ones!)

Javier Tabima, M. Sc.

Oh noes, the wiki is down!

Javier is a Ph. D. student at the Laboratory of Mycology and Phytopathology and the Group of Computational Biology and Evolution at the Universidad de los Andes. He is a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science of the Universidad de los Andes where he worked with Molecular phylogenetics and population genetics. His main area of research is Bioinformatics and Molecular Evolution, but he does a little bit of wiki design and tech support once in a while. His role in the group is still unknown, but he does the best to give a little heads up, one or two practical jokes and to draw his lab mates as they work. Additionally, he likes to spend his free time doing slideshows and videos, so lets hope his hobbies are as useful as his bioinformatics knowledge.

David Botero

David is a master student at the Laboratory of Mycology and Phytopathology and the Group of Computational Biology and Evolution at the Universidad de los Andes. He is a Bachelor of Science of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia where he worked in immunogenetics and evolutiionary immunolology. Furthermore, like undergraduate he worked in medicine and physics. His main area of research is Bioinformatics and System Biology. His role in the group is advise the theoretical bases of the project and to get sponsors to support the travel and the project.

Juan David Olarte Plata

Olga Pinzón Rodríguez

Olga is a physics student at the Universidad de los Andes.

Gabriel Martínez-Gálvez

Óscar Ortega

Laura Marcela Guzmán R.

David Alejandro García Grisales

David Andrés Ayala-Usma

David is a senior of Biology and junior of Microbiology that, one day, simply was in the right place to get involved with Synthetic Biology and became part of the team. He likes Molecular cell biology, Geosciences, Astronomy and some other science stuff. Also, he loves reading all kinds of tales and stories for children (like him), eating desserts, looking at the sky, taking pictures, playing at the PC, sleeping a lot, and talking, and talking, and talking... xD

He expects to eventually become a Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Earth Sciences or both, just to go around there talking about his favorite molecules, discovering new exciting things and earning money for that.
