Robert Mayall

Hey, I'm Robert, and I just finished my second year of Biomedical Science at the U of C. I've never done any kind of research work before so I'm excited to help out with the sensor system and have fun and create some mutants. The best part of this job is that there's a Timmies on the walk here, so I'm full of energy by the time I get to the lab. The summer will be awesome, working with some cool dudes and playing with science!

Advisors

Dave Curran

Hey, I'm Dave, and one of the two grad advisors for Calgary this year. I'm currently doing a Master's in infectious diseases, and I wanted to be a part of iGEM because I was on the Calgary team for 2 years during my undergrad. I get to play teacher/troubleshooter/advisor/etc. for the team, so here's hoping I know what I'm talking about. I had to come back to the team now, as iGEM has always been a great experience and a good place to see some really cool ideas, as well as those very cool idea with no real-world practicality to speak of (if anyone remembers the 2007 Calgary project, EcoLisa, I'm proud to say I was part of that Rube Goldberg of an idea). Anyways, I do a lot of computer stuff, at home and at work, and dabble in a little squash when time allows. Cheers!

Paul Adamiak

Hey everyone, I'm Paul Adamiak. I'm in my first year of a Masters program in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Calgary. I handled the wiki part of our team three years ago when I was in my undergraduate degree. I came back this year to take on a modeling project and to help with the logistics of running the team.
