Dr. Cheryl Telmer

Carnegie Mellon University
Department of Biological Sciences

Dr. Telmer is one of the main advisors of the CMU iGEM team. She provided guidance and training especially for the lab work. This included helping us make up protocols to analyze fluorescent proteins for potential reporters, construct and test our intein sensor, construct the Interlab Measurement Study plasmids and run photobleaching experiments for the KillerRed. In addition she helped us troubleshoot when we ran into difficulties in experimentation, and helped us plan and organize future tasks.

Dr. Marcel Bruchez

Carnegie Mellon University
Department of Biological Sciences

Dr. Bruchez is a faculty advisor for the CMU iGEM team. He secured lab space for our team and gave us technical advice about our project, especially how to analyze and present fluorescence data from the TECAN. Dr. Bruchez also helped with the construction of photo-bleaching chambers needed to generate superoxide in the killer red expressing cells.


Dr. Natasa Miskov-Zivanov

Carnegie Mellon University
Electrical and Computer Engineering

Dr. Miskov-Zivanov helped with the modeling portion of the project. She introduced us to new modeling languages, and gave us insight into how to improve our models such that they could be better applied to the real world and the wet lab.
