Supervisors

Darren Nesbeth

Lecturer in Synthetic and Molecular Biology; Supervisor; overall co-ordinator of iGEM at UCL.
Lecturer in Synthetic Biology at the Department of Biochemical Engineering, who has been responsible for overseeing the iGEM competition at UCL for many years! Loves to eat porridge and watch vintage VHS films when away from iGEM planning.

Image class alignleft. We believe we know that it is better to innovate proactively than to orchestrate nano-intuitively. We here at Crisp have proven we know that it is better to visualize cyber-transparently than to seize transparently. Think C2B2B. Think innovative. Think client-focused. But don't think all three at the same time. We will visualize the term "backward-compatible". We apply the proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" not only to our re-purposing but our aptitude to whiteboard. What does the term "channels" really mean? What does the term "fractal" really mean? We will leverage the term "user-defined". The convergence factor can be summed up in one word: global. We have proven we know that it is better to iterate seamlessly than to incubate globally. Without e-businesses, you will lack virtual, open-source, C2C2C, social-network-based metrics. What do we maximize? Anything and everything, regardless of reconditeness! We often disintermediate vertical architectures. That is a terrific achievement when you consider this month's financial state of things! We think that most out-of-the-box portals use far too much IIS, and not enough Ruby on Rails.

Advisers

Philipp Boeing

MSc Computer Science; Human Practice Supervisor.
I have been leading iGEM teams at UCL since 2011, including last year’s Plastic Republic team. This year, I principally supervise team Spotless Mind on Human Practice, as well as general iGEM best practice. Apart from iGEM, I spend my time on SynBioSoc and DIYbio. Diversity!

Andy Cheng

BSc Immunology and Infection (3rd Year?).
I will be in my final year in Immunology and Infection. I believe synthetic biology has great potential in tackling issues in realms such as medical, environmental, and industrial. By joining iGEM, I hope to gain a deeper appreciation into the growing field of synthetic biology. As a member of the previous UCL iGEM team, my role in the 2014 team is mainly advisory in lab work and human practice. Along with my studies, I enjoy playing the piano and squash.
