Students
Lamya Kamal
School of MedicineGoing into first year Medicine.
Max Nicosia
School of Computer SciencePart of the modelling team. I enjoy making cynical remarks and using sarcasm, even at the cost of public disapproval ;). I am the wiki slave and my favourite saying is: "I'll be honest with you ... " - been told it tends to annoy people :D.
Sam Lipworth
School of MedicineWorld class lasher, a very proud Scottish gentleman (even though he sounds like a posh Englishman). Enjoys golf avidly and has a mature sense of humour with a touch of cynicism.
Ogaga Sim-Ifere
School of Medicine2nd year medicine student.
Charlie Thompson
School of BiologyKeen biologist that enjoys spending long afternoons in the lab.
Christina Samson
School of MathematicsLovely girl that enjoys playing with numbers, working hard and going out for drinks with friends. (Runner up to world lasher ladet).

Dr. John Mitchell
School of Biomolecular SciencesJohn is interested in anything computational and related to molecules. After a PhD in theoretical chemistry, his first postdoc was in Biochemistry at UCL. He has been a lecturer at Birkbeck and at Cambridge, before coming to St Andrews in 2009. Since then, he has done lots of chemoinformatics, quite a lot of bioinformatics and only a little real theoretical chemistry. His scientific interests include computing the binding affinities between proteins and ligands, side-effects and toxicities of pharmaceuticals, and how much of a compound will dissolve in water. His group have worked extensively on the prediction of molecular properties such as melting point and solubility from chemical structure. They also use computational methods to study enzyme reaction mechanisms. They continue to develop the MACiE database of enzyme reaction mechanisms in collaboration with Prof. Janet Thornton at the EMBL-EBI.
