Biological Natural Sciences - I've just finished my second year of Natural Sciences here at Cambridge University. So far I have studied modules in Cell Biology, Evolution and Behaviour, Plant Physiology, Animal Physiology, Neurobiology and Developmental Biology. iGEM has so far introduced me to lots of Biology that is outside of the courses I have studied in the last couple of years and I have really enjoyed stepping outside of my comfort zone and building a working 8x8 LED matrix my first Arduino project and getting stuck into some computer programming with the Microsoft Research team. I have high hopes for our team this summer. | Biological Natural Sciences - I've just finished my second year of Natural Sciences here at Cambridge University.

Revision as of 17:52, 17 July 2011
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 advised by several other members of the university, 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.
We were also aided by three students from the Royal College of Art (RCA) who were able to provide us with a completely different perspective on our work. Their advice and creative input was invaluable to our project.

I just finished my second year engineering course, still haven't quite decided which area of engineering to specialize in. In the past one and half week, I enjoyed roaming the unfamiliar territory of synthetic biology despite the steep learning curve.

Biological Natural Sciences - I've just finished my second year of Natural Sciences here at Cambridge University. So far I have studied modules in Cell Biology, Evolution and Behaviour, Plant Physiology, Animal Physiology, Neurobiology and Developmental Biology. iGEM has so far introduced me to lots of Biology that is outside of the courses I have studied in the last couple of years and I have really enjoyed stepping outside of my comfort zone and building a working 8x8 LED matrix my first Arduino project and getting stuck into some computer programming with the Microsoft Research team. I have high hopes for our team this summer.
Haydn King
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.
I come from a small village called Brechfa near Carmarthen in south west Wales, and am a fluent Welsh speaker.
