Team:Glasgow/Attributions

Attributions and Thanks

While the project was most certainly a team effort, it is also important to acknowledge the individuals in the team. Here's a breakdown of what we all got up to.

Undergraduate Students

Wet Lab
Amy Ferguson: Created, along with Lydia, the “Wilkins” mascot for the team.
Documentation of the project in notebooks, including the weekly report, plasmids page etc.
GvpA/GvpC constructs with various different promoters and testing their ability to float.
Made the J23100/GFP and did a comparison of the efficiency of the various fluorescent things.

Jake Casson: Social media guru, informing the world of our cake-based exploits via Twitter.
Designed the switch (and many other oligos), and also made the integrase Biobrick.

Martin Campbell: Modified the low copy number vector (psc101) by extracting unneeded stuff and replaced with an iGEM MCS, then ligated in RFP/GFP switch.
Transformed the switch and our integrase and performed in vivo switching.
Designed lots of oligos.

Beth Greig: Did a lot of work on the human practices side of things, and produced the majority of the material for the human practices page.
Documented our Biobricks for the registry.

Jacob Roberts: Optimised and tested the integrase biobrick.

Gemma McLelland: Optimised and tested the integrase biobrick.

Gintarė Sendžikaitė:

Lydia Alldred: Created, along with Amy, the “Wilkins” mascot for the team, and drew him in the various poses (poster comic strip, logo etc).

Dry Lab
Aimee Bias: Modelling, measurements and wiki page.
Risk assessments, both for the wet and dry lab and our science centre stalls.

Robbie Evans: Modelling, measurements and wiki page.

Supervisors and additional support

Of course, we cannot take all the credit! A massive thank you to all our advisors, sponsors, and supporters. Without these guys, we would have been totally lost. No, really.
Main Project Supervisors

• Dr Sean Colloms ( primary supervisor and instructor): Lecturer in Synthetic Biology (Institute of Molecular Cell and Systems Biology).:
• Professor Marshall Stark (offical instructor):Professor of Molecular Genetics (Institute of Molecular Cell and Systems Biology):
• Dr Julien Reboud (official instructor): Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Fellow in Synthetic Biology (Biomedical Engineering).
  His assistance and experience in synthetic biology was particularly invaluable to the biomedical engineers, to help shape their modelling and measurement system.

Lab and Techniques Support

• Ms Emma Smith (official instructor)
• Ms Abioye Jumai Adeola:
• Jia Zhao (Offical Advisor):
