Alxcia Sinclair - "Legs"
Alxcia Sinclair is in her final year of BBiotech and loving every second of it. She enjoys a good dance with her friends on the weekend, a beefy game of basketball and an epic bowl of nachos when she thinks she deserves it. She has become a bit more of a tech head working on the wiki and has contributed lab time to PCR preparations, gel organization and plate developments. Her obsessions are currently fixed towards protein analysis with posttranslational modifications being the main focus.
David Dubow - "Blue Dave"
David Dubow is a 3rd year Bachelour of science student double majoring in chemistry and biomolecular sciences. He helped out with the technical work in the lab, such as operating the gel visualiser, nano-drop, creating inital concentrates for dilution, and working alongside Edward during the last two hectic weeks of prac work. He is looking forward to venturing into the field of astrobiology and discovering new and odd forms of life."I'm not good with living things!"
David Handler - "Red Dave"
David is in his third year of a Bachelor of Advanced Science with majors in Biology, Biomolecular sciences and English. His jobs for the team involve catch-all general lab work and help with wiki upkeep, design and photography. His future aspirations involve work with prions and science communication. David loves writing, making music and taking photographs in his spare time.
Tania Tan. - "Stripes"
Tania Tan is a 3rd year Bachelor of Science student majoring in Biomolecular Sciences and Chemistry. Involved in lab work with media prep, gel prep and 4 hours straight of plasmid purifications...! Apart from the realm of chemistry, she has turned into a work-a-holic lab tech, a gym-a-holic and studies music DJ-ing!!!
Peter Young - "Chris"
Peter Young is a 4th year bachelor of science student, majoring biomolecular science and commencing a masters in policing and counter-terrorism. He enjoys spear fishing, rock climbing, mixed martial arts and hopefully soon gene doping (lol!)
Arjun Bhat - "AJ"
Mihei Hwang. - "Meticulous Mihei"
Mi Hei Hwang is a 3rd year Bachelor of Science student majoring in Biomolecular Sciences and Chemistry. Involved in lab work with media prep, gel prep, and some of PCR work.
