Supervisors and Advisers
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.
Advisers
Philipp Boeing
MSc Computer Science (1st Year); 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!
Alex Bates
BSc Neuroscience (2nd Year).
I am a BSc Neuroscience student and a member of the UCL iGEM 2013 'Spotless Mind' team. I am returning as an advisor for the 2014 team, primarily focusing on project direction, organisation, human practice, and just generally trying to spread the iGEM love. I have a lot of faith in this year's project as a pragmatic response to a very real environmental problem. After next year, I am moving on to an MSc in Synthetic Biology or a PhD in Neuroscience, as I am most interested in trying to see how one might blend these two disparate worlds.
Andy Cheng
BSc Immunology and Infection (2nd 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.
Kai Cheng Kiew
BSc Biochemistry (3rd Year, completed Jun '14; MRes Cancer Biology, starts Oct ’14).
I recently completed my BSc Biochemistry, with a structural and molecular biology focus. My favourite thing about iGEM is that it encourages students to have full control on their project, whilst having fun and making friends across the globe. In the near future, I am taking on an MRes in Cancer Biology. Besides having a passion for food, I am a wanderlust traveller and love the piano.
Oran Maguire
Bsc Human Sciences (3rd Year).
Having just completed my final year at UCL, I am planning to work for a year and consider my options for further study. My degree stood on a hairline between medical and social science. I joined last year's team in order to further my interest in neuroscience; but in the event, iGEM gave me the opportunity to exercise my more creative and practical skills, and revealed to me an entirely new approach toward understanding the mechanics of life, and the opening of a new area in scientific practice. It goes without saying that I was very keen to assist in this team's efforts.
