| About Gloria: | Gloria is a super crazy stickler for perfection with a broad sense of humour. She likes organizing all her thoughts and ideas that occur throughout the busy day on paper towels, particularly serviettes. When she feels like it and only then, she will never stop when she starts talking and this is mostly, every time, all day and every day.

| Name: | Bradley Marques |
|
|---|---|---|
| Field of Study: | Information engineering | |
| About Bradley: | As a biomedical engineer, Bradley likes to think of blood flow as an electrical current, and is occasionally known to model people as spheres. He can usually be found whittling the early hours of the morning away banging out an emergent behaviour simulation. His information engineering degree has piqued his interest in pervasive computing, the human-computer interface as well as an active interest in digital arts. When not contemplating his lack of existence after Ray Kurzweils’ singularity, he may found trolling game design forums with the judicious use of smileys. | |
| Name: | Michelle Robinson |
|
|---|---|---|
| Field of Study: | Master's in Molecular Medicine | |
| About Michelle: | After experiencing firsthand the fun and insanity of iGEM as a member of the first-ever Wits iGEM team, Michelle Robinson elected to become a student advisor to the 2011 team. In between working towards her Masters of Science in Medicine Michelle practices her nagging skills and makes sure that the team knows that ‘we only have 62 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes and 4 seconds until the Wiki Freeze!’ The iGEM competition inspired her to stay within synthetic biology and Michelle is currently working on a gene therapy-based project with a synthetic biology twist.

| Name: | Laura Millroy |
|
|---|---|---|
| Field of Study: | PhD Molecular Medicine | |
| About Laura: | Laura has a keen interest in synthetic biology and genetic engineering, especially in relation to advances in human health. Her PhD project involves the development of aptamer siRNA chimeras for the treatment of HIV. Beyond lab work and research, Laura spends her time baking, painting and editing iGEM documents! Laura is a student advisor to the team for a second year. She enjoys helping the team to realise their goals while understanding the importance of having fun. | |

Lab work: All of the lab work presented on this wiki is the work of the team members.
Modelling: All modelling was completed by Brad, our information engineer.
Logo: Our logo was also designed by Brad
Animation: This task was performed by an animator.
Website: Our site was built by a web developer.
We would like to thank the following people for their invaluable contributions to the project:
