Atipat Patharagulpong Atipat is also known as Ming. (people sometimes call him ATP, which he finds a bit geeky) He is a third year biochemist and responsible for collaboration, part registry, and Arabidopsis (and also drawing everyone's picture). Apart from Biochemistry, he loves playing the piano, drawing anime, gardening, and also cooking (and eating too). |

Chris Schoene Chris is going into his 3rd year of Biochemistry at Imperial College London and our official head of parts characterisation. He has been interested in Synthetic Biology since the last year's team presented their project in October. His other interests include creative writing, martial arts, the classical guitar and traveling. He is German but was born in Colombia and has lived in the USA and Spain. |
|
|
Frank Machin Frank is halfway through his degree in Biochemistry at Imperial and responsible for the software and hardware. He has been a huge fan of Synthetic Biology ever since he watched The Andromeda Strain and The Day of the Triffids. When he is not working, he likes gaming, loud music, and making short films and he is going to try and include them all in this project! |
|
|
Jiayue Zhu We generally call Jiayue Nina to make our lives easier since nobody can pronounce her name correctly. She is a 2nd year bioengineer and very glad to be here with the team and to do some amazing fancy stuff. She is in charge of all media-related issues. |
|
|
Nicolas Kral Nick has just finished the second year of the Bsc Biology degree at Imperial. He has been attracted to synthetic biology because of the immense potential and creativity that is hidden in it, yet still following the strict scientific thinking. His hobbies include everything to do with Nature and the great outdoors, hiking, climbing, caving and just the joy of being out. |
|
|
Nikki Kapp Nikki just finished her undergrad in Biochemistry and is responsible for cloning strategies and outreach/PR. She wants to try put what she's learnt into practice at iGEM. Her life isn't all about science, she is passionate about music and travel and hopes to do a round the world trip as well as complete the Mongol Rally. |
|
|
Rebekka Bauer Rebekka just finished a degree in Biology. She is responsible for human practices and has the job of looking after supplies and protocols in the lab. She likes the creative aspect of synthetic biology but also how useful it can be in tackling problems in all kinds of areas. Outside of Biology, she is interested in photography, travelling and cooking. |
|
|
Si Chen Si just graduated with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. She is one of our modelling whizzes and by far the most fashionable person on the team. She is looking forward to delivering some solid solution that can be applied in reality in the future. |
|
|
Yuanwei Li Yuanwei just finished the 2nd year of his biomedical engineering degree. He is our wiki mastermind. He probably wants to specialise in the mechanical aspect of bioengineering, dealing with stuff like biomechanics and similar things. He is also quite interested about going into the area of biomedical imaging. In his free time, he likes to play his accordion and he loves to travel to different places and explore the world. He is looking forward to delivering something amazing on this iGEM project. |

General support
James Chappell, Dr Travis Bayer and others helped us during our brainstorming.
Dr Geoff Balwin is letting us use his lab for some experiments.
Chemotaxis support
Prof Xiaodong Zhang at Imperial College, got us into contact with Juan Luis Ramos in Spain.
Juan Luis Ramos at Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas managed to provide us mcpS gene on pRK415.
Dr Ben Blount has helped us with using of the FACS machine during the data collection.
Arabidopsis support
The Arabidopsis thaliana team was kindly supported by Dr Thorsten Hamann and Dr Colin Turnbull's labs at Imperial. In particular, Issariya Chairam and David Charles helped enormously with designing and setting up plant experiments.
A number of Arabidopsis seeds were supplied by labs all over Britain:
DR5:GFP seeds were supplied by Samantha Fox from Dr Enrico Coen's group at the John Innes Centre, which focuses on plant development in A. thaliana. Permission to use the seeds and publish results was kindly granted by Dr Jiri Friml at the VIB.
DR5:GUS seeds were supplied by Dr Gerard Bishop at Imperial College.
DR:3XVENUS seeds were supplied by Dr Darren Wells at the University of Nottingham. Dr Wells is a research fellow in the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology.
Modelling support
Dr Robert Endres is a Senior Lecturer in Systems Biology at Imperial College. He is an expert in chemotaxis modelling and kindly helped our team with their model of cell movement.
Imaging support
Dr Martin Spitaler and Mark Scott of the Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy (FILM) at Imperial helped with the set up and execution of imaging of bacterial uptake into plant roots and chemotaxis imaging.
Human practices support
Dr Alexandru Milcu at Imperial advised us about above/below ground interactions and rhizosphere ecology.
Dr Robert Griffiths at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology advised us about soil microbial ecology.
Prof Stuart Dunbar, Dr Torquil Fraser and Dr John Paul Evans at Syngenta kindly advised us on the applicability and implementation of our project.
Wiki support
