The Advisors
 |
Assitant Professor Chow's laboratory aims to create technological innovations to enhance therapeutic interventions in CNS disorders, and to this end, focuses on engineering tools to elucidate, diagnose and treat the diseased brain. |
Spencer Glantz Bioengineering (PhD student) Spencer helped found the first iGEM team at the University of Pennsylvania and has been lending us his deep knowledge and experience with synthetic biology ever since. He helped us every day and truly made this project possible. |
|
 |
Michael Magaraci Bioengineering (PhD student) We always found Mike at Chow's Lab late at night. He offered us his knowledge of synthetic biology and really helped us troubleshooted many issues; "color:#FFF" |
 |
Danielle Fields iGEM guru Danielle makes sick graphics on Illustrator. |
 |
Danny Cabrera iGEM guru Danny helped us a lot on graphic design and offered incredible advice. |
Josh Tycko iGEM guru Insanely resourceful; Josh always hook us up with the right people for the right task. |
Nothing would be possible without him
