iGEM Bordeaux’s team is composed by university and school of ingeniery’s students, all reunite around a same field : biology.

Instructors

Dr. Denis DUPUY
After a Master of Science in Molecular and Cell Biology at Université Bordeaux Segalen, he did his Ph.D. thesis in human genetics in the laboratory of Dr. Benoit Arveiler at the University of Bordeaux (1998-2001) working on positional cloning of schizophrenia susceptibility gene. He then joined the group of Dr Marc Vidal, at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Harvard Medical School, Boston, Ma) for a post-doctoral training in systems biology. There, he acquired the tools and methods needed to perform systematic analysis of spatiotemporal gene expression in vivo in C. elegans.

Dr. Elisabeth GARANGER
Graduated in 2001 as a Chemical Engineer from ENSC Clermont-Ferrand with a Master’s degree in Biological Organic Chemistry, she pursued her education with a PhD in chemistry and biology at the University of Grenoble. Under the supervision of Profs. P. Dumy and M.-C. Favrot, she dedicated her research to peptide-based vectors targeting tumors and their associated neo-angiogenesis. In 2006, she joined the Center for Molecular Imaging Research (Harvard Medical School, Boston, Ma) as a post-doctoral fellow and worked on contrast agents for multimodal molecular imaging. In 2009, she returned to France in the group of Prof. S. Lecommandoux (LCPO, Bordeaux) to contribute to a European project aiming at developing polymer-based nanoparticles for imaging and therapy of cancers. Elisabeth Garanger joined the IECB as team leader in October 2010.

Dr. Marie Beurton-Aimar
After obtaining her PhD at the university of Bordeaux in 2000, she has obtained a position in 2001 at the University of Bordeaux in the department of Science of life to teach programmation, software engineering, modelling in biology to biologist. Her main research topics are: Structuration of biological data and analysis of biological networks; Simulation of biological processes with multi-agent systems; Segmentation of medical or biological images with social agents.
