Biochemists
Glen Gowers, Philipp Lorenz, Corinna Oswald, Andy Russell, Francesca Donnellan, and Emily Pritchett will take charge of the wet-lab work and biochemistry aspects of the project.  Philipp LorenzA third year biochemist, it was Phil's idea to bring iGEM to Oxford, and he continues to ensure our project runs as smoothly as a German train schedule. His skills also extend outside of biochemistry.  Corinna OswaldCorinna has been with the team since its formation, and continues to donate everything to its cause. She certainly knows how to get the most out of her teammates, though enjoying a laugh and a drink in the process.  Glen GowersThe guy who makes everything happen, the Fred to our iGEM "Mystery Machine". When Glen isn't sailing around the country, he's hard at work in the lab and at the desk.  Francesca DonellanNot just a member of the biochemist team but also leading our outreach programme, no task is too big or small for Fran. This girl can provide sandwiches for 500 people at 24 hours' notice and look good doing it.  Emily PritchettOur most recent addition to the team, Emily has just finished her second year at St. Edmund Hall. True to her generation, Emily has enjoyed documenting our progress via social media, and has used this Summer to steady her hand at Instagram.  Andy RussellFull-time biochemist, part-time fashionista; Andy fancies himself as the ''arbiter elegantarium'' of the team. Andy is now entering his third year as a biochemist at The Queen's College, where he is an accomplished sportsmen. |
Engineers
Matt, Oliver and Leroy will be responsible for the mathematical modelling, software designing and realising any practical desires.  Oliver VinceOllie is our keenest team member - nothing can douse his motivation. In addition to taking charge of the maths and software, he feels responsible for our entertainment.  Leroy LimLeroy is a second year at St. John's COllege studying Economics, Engineering and Management. During term, Leroy indulges in many of the quirks of Oxford life, namely rowing, bops and colourful trousers. During iGEM, he's our engineer and self-appointed social sec.  Matthew BoothMatt has just completed the second year of his engineering course at St John's College. He is an avid Rugby player, having recently achieved great success with the college team, and adopts a no-nonsense approach to many of his university endeavours, including iGEM. Lawyer  Siân McGibbonSiân is the model lawyer along with everything that implies. Chemist  Jack HoffmanJack is a third year chemist studying at St John's College. Though prodigious in his own field, Jack enjoys trying his hand at many academic disciplines, and this curiosity and fervour for science is most welcome amongst the team.
 Tim AngSoon to enter his third year at St. John's College studying Biology, Tim's primary academic interests focus on evolutionary theory, particularly social evolution. A keen weightlifter, his frequent references to weights and protein shakes naturally make him the hub of enchanting conversation here at Oxford iGEM. PPEist Shahbano Soomro A third year student in Politics and Economics at University College, Shahbano has a particular interest in Environmental policy and philosophy. As well as helping Fran with organising our outreach and events, she will be watching over our project from afar during the summer. |
