Our core team was made of 9 Cambridge University [[Team:Cambridge/Team/Students | undergraduates]] from a wide range of courses. There were 4 biologists, three engineers, one physicist and one mathematician. While every member of the group broadened their knowledge, our different areas of expertise allowed us to simultaneously approach problems from many angles.

You should write a brief biography here. Also include what you did during the project in broadish terms. Photos will be sorted out at some point! (I know it looks ugly to have them all down one side, I'll get around to fixing that sometime)

We were also aided by a student from the Royal College of Art (RCA) who was able to provide us with a completely different perspective on our work. Her advice and creative input was invaluable to our project.

They all did a fantastic job of providing positive feedback, without guiding the direction of our project.

I have just finished second year Engineering at the University, and am likely to be studying Information and Computer Engineering next year. Having no biological training since GCSE, I am very interested to learn more about the subject during the course of this project. I am particularly interested in the parallels which can be drawn between computation 'in silico' and that which can be done within a living cell.

OVERVIEW
home

Our core team was made of 9 Cambridge University undergraduates from a wide range of courses. There were 4 biologists, three engineers, one physicist and one mathematician. While every member of the group broadened their knowledge, our different areas of expertise allowed us to simultaneously approach problems from many angles.

We were also aided by a student from the Royal College of Art (RCA) who was able to provide us with a completely different perspective on our work. Her advice and creative input was invaluable to our project.

We were advised by several academics (both from within the university and externally), both professors and PhD students, who provided technical assistance and insight. They all did a fantastic job of providing positive feedback, without guiding the direction of our project.

With the team's budget especially tight this year due to the increased cost of the competition, our sponsors were invaluable - they contributed the reagents, kits and cash which enabled us to take part.

Work carried out primarily by our advisors is clearly labelled as such. In particular we are grateful to Paul Grant for assistance operating the confocal and for his advice during our microscopy, and to Matthwe Hawkeye (or collaborator in the Nanophotonics Dept) for assisting Felix in making thin films and in measuring spectral properties of reflectin. Unless otherwise stated, all work recorded on the wiki was carried out by the students. Credit for the wiki code to team member Haydn King
