We spent the morning listening to presentations from researchers in Building 239, Lynn’s colleagues. The following is a summary of their research and expertise, which may be useful to consult throughout the summer:

  • Chad Paavola: cellulosome complex, cellular biosensors
  • John Cumbers: chrococcidiopsis, UV radiation resistance
  • Matt (from Marshall Space Center): CO2 reduction systems; phys/chem. perspective
  • Darya Bubman: used to be a molecular viologist, working in synth bio group
  • Sigrid Reinsch: (worked in Shank’s lab!) OMEGA offshore bioreactors, freshwater algae in wastewater
  • Rocco Mancinelli: bioreactors, nitrogen cycling, designing bioreactors that can convert purposes
  • Lynn Rothschild: overview of lab researchers: 
       	**Kosuke: RNA expert, pro mol. Biologist
       	**Ivan: DNA dmg in Mn complexes
       	**Haley: biosensors
       	**Diana: air capture devices
       	**John Cumbers, Norman Wang (from Hawaii 08 team): chrococidiopsis, evo, syn bio
       	*Thomas Beer, Lynn: cyanidium, snow algae, UV resistance
    • David Loftus: MD PhD; effect of radiation (UV, solar wind, GCR, SPE protons) on regolith, effect of regolith on human physio;
    • John Hogan: biological life support systems; ecosystems, closed; regenerating life support systems in space

We presented an overview of iGEM and our projects to NASA researchers: Chad, John, Sigrid, Matt, Darya, Lynn, David Loftus

In the afternoon, we presented to Pete Worden (ARC director), Gary Martin (Director of Strategic Management and Advanced Planning). They have offered to assist us in any reasonable capacity

Team pictures with Director Worden, all present! (except Eli :( )
