<h1>The Team</h1>
 +
<p>
 +
We are a French team from Grenoble, a well known city for skiing and nanotechnology. We are forming a joint team between biology students from Université Grenoble 1 (Joseph Fourier University)  and engineer students from Grenoble INP Phelma (Grenoble Institute of technology) that have taken some more specialized courses in biotechnology.
 +
</p>
 +
 +
<p>
 +
The team will be composed of 11 students that will work in 7 different laboratories (lab directors in parentheses):

Hi everyone! I'm Geoffrey and I come from Albertville, city of the Olympics  1992. I'm a big big fan of the Vancouver Canucks and I'm sorry for the MIT but I don't think Boston will win the Stanley Cup this year! I'm french so I'm totally in love with cheese, bread and wine. You can find <a href="http://www.cuisine-french.com/cgi/mdc/l/en/recettes/fondue_savoyarde.html">here</a> the best food in the whole world! Try it is to adopt it. iGEM ​​is for me a wonderful life experience that I could not miss.

Manipulation of living organism allows producing artificial form of life and metabolism. These modifications, although well controlled, require application of the precautionary principle. Caution involves the implementation of different blocking to limit the propagation of these organisms in the nature: <br>

I am Felix Ciceron and I am studying molecular and cellular biology at the University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France. I would like to work in bioremediation, bio-detection of pollution, or enzymatic engineering. All of these fields require both laboratory and project  skills. I believe the iGEM competition is a tremendous way to get experience of working in a team, as it combines the spirit of competition with learning.

Hey Folks! If you've started Clement's and Geoffrey's descriptions, you'll probably believe that we are obsessed by food. As French people, it's true. But we are also interested in many other things. For example, as you, I decided to launch into this Great Human Adventure because I'm convinced that Synthetic Biology is the futur and I'm looking forward to meet people from everywhere. Sport also represents a large part of my hobbies: running, cross-country biking, swimming, climbing... One last thing to fit with the French stereotype! Even if I come from the Alpes, I prefere dishes from the South like Ratatouille, Bouillabaisse or Soupe au Pistou.

Through the iGEM competition, we face to the risks of synthetic biology. So it’s important to deal with safety issues our project could cause.
+
My ambition is to become a researcher, at the interphase of microbiology and immunology. moreover, my other passion are badminton, makeshift job, and informatic. iGEM is really in line with my love for biology. I think this adventure will give to me a great experience and plunge myself in the scientifc world, and show up some meeting with differents people who have alternative science-thinking.

Our project is based on the utilization of mercury, which raises questions about security for the researcher but also for the public and the environment. Mercury is an element that has toxic effects on brain and renal function. During our project, mercury is conserved in the laboratory and is subjected to special treatment for elimination of heavy metals. About searchers, protections are simpler: it is necessary to work without contaminating the material. If it is contaminated, it shall not be touched with bare hands. Hence the use of protective equipment.

Dear competitor, I did not have the pleasure to grow up between the beautiful mountains of the Alps. But since I'm studying in Grenoble, I'm taking the opportunity to go skiing or hiking. What better feeling than to admire this awesome landscape and thinking to the <a title="you should try to make (and eat) one !" href="http://www.meilleurduchef.com/cgi/mdc/l/fr/recettes/tartiflette_ill.html"> tartiflette</a> waiting for your return in the sweet heat of your beloved home ?

Beside this "food's poetry"  I'm studying physics (many different stuff, nuclear, optic, IT, modeling, a spoonful of electronic) and biotechnology at <a href="http://phelma.grenoble-inp.fr/"> Phelma</a> an engineering school. I like science in general, I practice archery and I'm very fond of rollerskating.

We are making a device that can quantify a component in water, such as heavy metals pollutants. Two models are being developed. One of them involves the use of the Mer sensor. We therefore need to use mercury to test this system. These raise the environmental issue of the toxic waste management. Liquid having Mercury or tips and dishes that are in contact with this toxic are kept in specials bins. This rubbish bin is then given to a society specialized into toxic waste treatment. A slip monitoring is sign up by every organism that is involved into the production, transportation and treatment of the toxic waste. When the later is cremated, the producer of the waste receive and attestation that must be kept as a proof of the appropriate treatment.

Hi all. I'm a student in information technology, therefore i became the IT guy of the group. Some would say I'm the shepherd of the group but I prefer to see myself as a glimmer of hope for my biologist teammates when their pc crashes down. But don't think I live in symbiosis with my computer, like most of Grenoblois I like outdoor activities such as trail, skiing or climbing.

Hey! I'm a student in microbiology and genetic engeenering. I participate to iGEM because it's an extraordinary opportunity to work on genetic engineering, and to have a real lab' life experience. Otherwise, what can I say, I come from Albertville like Geoffrey, incidentally I think he is right about cheese,bread and wine. I don't no what can I say moreover, so I think I will leave you with an expression from Savoie : "Qui boit trop de gnole casse la bagnole!"

Hi to all of you!!!

<p>

I’m Feriel (alias Fifi) from Joseph Fourier University where I’m finishing my Master in Nanobiotechnology. Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by what Life Science might achieve, especially by designing new living processes that, I’m sure, will really cause major scientific advancements in the future. So when one of our teacher mentioned the possibility to join Grenoble iGEM team, it immediately excited me and I was determined to  participate! This competition is definitely a unique opportunity to learn about life science, experience new things, meet other people and work in a team, all at the same time! An exceptional adventure in few words! Apart from iGEM, I like to cook Kessra and Boureks (Algerian specialties)… I had to talk about food!

The system we develop needs to be kept off until we want to induce it. In order to achieve that, we develop a post-transcriptional switch mechanism. This system, extracted from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is highly similar to another one of E. coli. The later involve the management of numerous genes including virulence factors. The bacteria we use don’t have any gene coding for virulence factor so the risk doesn’t exist with our strain.

Student in first year of master degrees of engineering for health and drugs (mmm drugs...) speciality biotechnologies, I am particularly interested in cell engienering and biological expression systems. In this context, I find that the iGEM, plus that beeing a great learning tool, is a unique opportunity for students to participate in a project of engineering bacteria from the idea to the functional biological system.

We won the Best Foundational Advance Prize. This year, I'm the advisor of the iGEM Grenoble team. It's a new challenge because Grenoble takes part in iGEM for the first time. I want to share my experience with them and help them to reach the Final.

I am a microbiologist at the university of Grenoble. In the past, I have combined biophysics, molecular biology and bacteriology to understand the functioning of Escherichia coli. More recently, in a systems biology approach, I have used precise measurements of gene expression to test predictions of mathematical models of the corresponding regulatory system. Synthetic biology, and thus iGEM, is the next step in understanding biological systems: if we really understand the functioning of a system, we can modify its behavior. In iGEM we move from designing a desired behavior to instantiating the network in the real organism: a formidable challenge in interdisciplinary research and a very stimulating endeavor, in large parts thanks to a team of excellent and motivated students from different backgrounds.

All partner laboratories have a Facility Security Engineer. This person is responsible of the global security and check that all workers respect lab security rules.
+
To my point of view, the most interesting aspect of the iGEM project is the collective construction of a new way of doing bioengineering. The modular approach is clearly more efficient in terms of experimental effort and it also helps understanding how cellular functions are organized. Implementing new functions in bacteria should in turn help to build up more efficient ways to represent the living beings complexity. Besides that, I like  and challenges and iGEM is all of this.

Rules are more or less restrictive for the scientist but follow same goals: protection of experimenter, persons who are in the experimental area, the local, and environment preservation. Our project is based on biomolecular experimentations. Each partner laboratories where we work are specialized in molecular biology and so have the needed equipment. What the Facility Security Engineer think about our project? Not particular attentions are needed concerning molecular biology experimentation but we are aware about chemical risks that can exist during manipulations. Most important risks are BET and mercury using. To avoid these latters, experiments are performed under chemical hoods and used contaminated materials are sterilized.

I am a biology and immunology teacher at the Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma. One of the important points of my teaching is to train students to be able to work at the interface of different scientific disciplines. iGem is a very exciting challenge that plunges us straight into interdisciplinarity and puts teachers and students face to face with what we aim for in our daily work. Personally I worked in bacterial genetics during my PhD, a field I left some 15 years ago and which I am more than happy to work in again with our team.

From the environmental point of view, simple and efficiency methods can be used like bacteria not able to survive outside by use Amino Acids which not existing in nature. It’s too possible to use rare carbon source for the bacteria. We can also use a suicide gene repress by a chemical molecule not found out of a laboratory. Another ways is to make bacteria weak face to the micro-organisms natural selection. For the researcher’s safety in lab, the work in sterile middle, overall and gloves wearing and all other standard protections things are evidently recommended.
+
I am a researcher in bioinformatics and mathematical biology at INRIA Grenoble - Rhône-Alpes. I am particularly interested in the modeling of bacterial regulatory networks.
-
To increase the safety off iGEM competition, we think about bacteria which have an inducible essential gene for binary division by a chemical not existing or rare in nature, by this way the bacteria can’t be divide itself so it will be not selected and going to disappear nearly.

Graduated in Biochemistry,  I developed a strong interest for pluridisciplinarity in the course of my training. I received a PhD in Molecular Biology from Nancy University for my work on the regulation of HIV-1 RNA alternative splicing by modeling and experimental approaches. I am now a researcher within the Systems Biology group Ibis at Inria Grenoble - Rhône-Alpes, a French research institute in computer science and control. I work on the mathematical modeling and experimental validation of biochemical regulatory networks involved in bacterial adaptation to environmental cues.

We will soon discuss with people that have already worked with mercury or others heavy metals. At CEA some researchers worked on Microsystems devices to detect and quantify these pollutants. They will share their experience and knowledge with us about the way to conduct safe experiments with these chemicals and also about technical aspect of existing measurement device. We would like to compare our work, our biosystem to “technological only” system that already exist, in terms of precision, sensitivity, reliability and costs.

Grenoble 2011, Mercuro-Coli iGEM


The Team

We are a French team from Grenoble, a well known city for skiing and nanotechnology. We are forming a joint team between biology students from Université Grenoble 1 (Joseph Fourier University) and engineer students from Grenoble INP Phelma (Grenoble Institute of technology) that have taken some more specialized courses in biotechnology.

The team will be composed of 11 students that will work in 7 different laboratories (lab directors in parentheses):

  • 2 microbiology laboratories (H. Geiselmann, I. Attree)
  • 3 laboratories of biotechnology (F. Bruckert, O. Peyret, D. Peyrade)
  • 1 Fundamental research laboratory (R. Calemczuk,)
  • 1 bioinformatics laboratory (H. de Jong).

Students

Geoffrey Bouchage

2nd year of Engineering School in Biotechnologies
Grenoble Institute of Technolgy PHELMA

Hi everyone! I'm Geoffrey and I come from Albertville, city of the Olympics 1992. I'm a big big fan of the Vancouver Canucks and I'm sorry for the MIT but I don't think Boston will win the Stanley Cup this year! I'm french so I'm totally in love with cheese, bread and wine. You can find here the best food in the whole world! Try it is to adopt it. iGEM ​​is for me a wonderful life experience that I could not miss.

Felix Ciceron

M1 Molecular and Cellular Biology
Grenoble University Joseph FOURIER

I am Felix Ciceron and I am studying molecular and cellular biology at the University Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France. I would like to work in bioremediation, bio-detection of pollution, or enzymatic engineering. All of these fields require both laboratory and project skills. I believe the iGEM competition is a tremendous way to get experience of working in a team, as it combines the spirit of competition with learning.

Marion Cristea

2nd year of Engineering School in Biotechnologies
Grenoble Institute of Technolgy PHELMA

Hey Folks! If you've started Clement's and Geoffrey's descriptions, you'll probably believe that we are obsessed by food. As French people, it's true. But we are also interested in many other things. For example, as you, I decided to launch into this Great Human Adventure because I'm convinced that Synthetic Biology is the futur and I'm looking forward to meet people from everywhere. Sport also represents a large part of my hobbies: running, cross-country biking, swimming, climbing... One last thing to fit with the French stereotype! Even if I come from the Alpes, I prefere dishes from the South like Ratatouille, Bouillabaisse or Soupe au Pistou.

Morgane DeGasperi

M1 Molecular and Cellular Biology
Grenoble University Joseph FOURIER

Hi everyone! I’m Morgane, and I come from Grenoble. Logic? Well no! As Grenoble is one of the best student cities, almost the entire team doesn’t come from here. On the other side, I prefer listen music rather than sports making: I have never skied. The participation to iGEM is a unique experience, to have an approach of synthetic biology but is also a human adventure. And I’m proud to participate.

Eric Durandeau

M1 Molecular and Cellular Biology
Grenoble University Joseph FOURIER

My ambition is to become a researcher, at the interphase of microbiology and immunology. moreover, my other passion are badminton, makeshift job, and informatic. iGEM is really in line with my love for biology. I think this adventure will give to me a great experience and plunge myself in the scientifc world, and show up some meeting with differents people who have alternative science-thinking.

Maxime Huet

2nd year of Engineering School in Biotechnologies
Grenoble Institute of Technolgy PHELMA

Dear competitor, I did not have the pleasure to grow up between the beautiful mountains of the Alps. But since I'm studying in Grenoble, I'm taking the opportunity to go skiing or hiking. What better feeling than to admire this awesome landscape and thinking to the tartiflette waiting for your return in the sweet heat of your beloved home ?

Beside this "food's poetry" I'm studying physics (many different stuff, nuclear, optic, IT, modeling, a spoonful of electronic) and biotechnology at Phelma an engineering school. I like science in general, I practice archery and I'm very fond of rollerskating.

Jean-Baptiste Lugagne

2nd year of Engineer School in signal processing
Grenoble INP PHELMA

Hi all. I'm a student in information technology, therefore i became the IT guy of the group. Some would say I'm the shepherd of the group but I prefer to see myself as a glimmer of hope for my biologist teammates when their pc crashes down. But don't think I live in symbiosis with my computer, like most of Grenoblois I like outdoor activities such as trail, skiing or climbing.

Clément Masson

M1 Molecular and Cellular Biology
Grenoble University Joseph FOURIER

Hey! I'm a student in microbiology and genetic engeenering. I participate to iGEM because it's an extraordinary opportunity to work on genetic engineering, and to have a real lab' life experience. Otherwise, what can I say, I come from Albertville like Geoffrey, incidentally I think he is right about cheese,bread and wine. I don't no what can I say moreover, so I think I will leave you with an expression from Savoie : "Qui boit trop de gnole casse la bagnole!"

Feriel Melaine

Master 2 Nanosciences
Grenoble Université Joseph FOURIER

Hi to all of you!!!

I’m Feriel (alias Fifi) from Joseph Fourier University where I’m finishing my Master in Nanobiotechnology. Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by what Life Science might achieve, especially by designing new living processes that, I’m sure, will really cause major scientific advancements in the future. So when one of our teacher mentioned the possibility to join Grenoble iGEM team, it immediately excited me and I was determined to participate! This competition is definitely a unique opportunity to learn about life science, experience new things, meet other people and work in a team, all at the same time! An exceptional adventure in few words! Apart from iGEM, I like to cook Kessra and Boureks (Algerian specialties)… I had to talk about food!

Samia Menad

Master 2 Nanosciences
Grenoble Université Joseph FOURIER

Hello everyone, I’m Samia, I am student in second year of Nanosciences research master, specialty nanobiology, I love biology especially when it is associated with other scientific fields like physics. My participation in the iGEM Grenoble -Team is due to my interest in synthetic biology, I am highly motivated and curious about the project and I am glad to have the opportunity to extend my knowledge in this field. I believe the iGEM is a great human adventure for every member team.

Robin Pinilla

M1 Health and drugs engineer
Grenoble University Joseph FOURIER

Student in first year of master degrees of engineering for health and drugs (mmm drugs...) speciality biotechnologies, I am particularly interested in cell engienering and biological expression systems. In this context, I find that the iGEM, plus that beeing a great learning tool, is a unique opportunity for students to participate in a project of engineering bacteria from the idea to the functional biological system.

Advisor

Stéphane Pinhal


PhD Student: Systems & Synthetic Biology
Grenoble University Joseph FOURIER

Interested in engineering the living, I joined the iGEM 2010 Paris team. I think iGEM is very formative on both scientific and human side. I couldn't miss this adventure. We won the Best Foundational Advance Prize. This year, I'm the advisor of the iGEM Grenoble team. It's a new challenge because Grenoble takes part in iGEM for the first time. I want to share my experience with them and help them to reach the Final.

Instructors

Université Joseph Fourier

Hans Geiselmann

UJF LAPM
Grenoble University Joseph FOURIER

I am a microbiologist at the university of Grenoble. In the past, I have combined biophysics, molecular biology and bacteriology to understand the functioning of Escherichia coli. More recently, in a systems biology approach, I have used precise measurements of gene expression to test predictions of mathematical models of the corresponding regulatory system. Synthetic biology, and thus iGEM, is the next step in understanding biological systems: if we really understand the functioning of a system, we can modify its behavior. In iGEM we move from designing a desired behavior to instantiating the network in the real organism: a formidable challenge in interdisciplinary research and a very stimulating endeavor, in large parts thanks to a team of excellent and motivated students from different backgrounds.

Grenoble INP

Franz Bruckert

LMGP
Grenoble INP

To my point of view, the most interesting aspect of the iGEM project is the collective construction of a new way of doing bioengineering. The modular approach is clearly more efficient in terms of experimental effort and it also helps understanding how cellular functions are organized. Implementing new functions in bacteria should in turn help to build up more efficient ways to represent the living beings complexity. Besides that, I like and challenges and iGEM is all of this.

Marianne Weidenhaupt

LMGP
Grenoble INP

I am a biology and immunology teacher at the Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma. One of the important points of my teaching is to train students to be able to work at the interface of different scientific disciplines. iGem is a very exciting challenge that plunges us straight into interdisciplinarity and puts teachers and students face to face with what we aim for in our daily work. Personally I worked in bacterial genetics during my PhD, a field I left some 15 years ago and which I am more than happy to work in again with our team.
