Project Support and Advice

All iGEM team members, as well as advisors Natalie Ma and Dr. Farren Isaacs, participated in the formation of the idea for this project, and the research required to design and carry out this project.

Lab Work

Three undergraduates - Ariel Hernandez-Leyva, Stephanie Mao, and Yamini Naidu - performed the lab work over the summer, as well as part-time help from Alex Buhimschi. Natalie Ma, Adrian Haimovich, Alexis Rovner, Edward Barbieri, Ryan Gallagher, Jaymin Patel, and Miriam Amiram all provided assistance in the form of instruction of numerous new techniques and guidance on how to proceed, with Natalie Ma being our point person. Dr. Farren Isaacs, along with Natalie Ma, provided invaluable feedback and guidance. Dr. Kenneth Nelson trained and assisted us in the use of the FACS machine.
