Meet the CU Boulder iGem Team

Description goes here.

Full-Timers

Julissa Duran-Malle

I am majoring in MCDB and Neuroscience. I am involved in all the experiments in the GOLD lab. I enjoy learning about other cultures, I plan on going to Tibet next summer

Daniel Garey

I am a junior student majoring in MCDB and Neuroscience. For the iGem I am doing dual infection project as well as the wiki. I am involved in designing and making two separate plasmids, each containing a part of the CRISPR Cas9 system, to be delivered individually by separate phage. I enjoy backpacking and scuba diving and am fascinated by other cultures

Christina Henderson

I am a sophomore at CU Boulder majoring in MCDB. I like camping, fishing, hiking, boating, and gymnastics

Josephina Hendrix

I am majoring in Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology and Computer Science. I am focusing on phage delivery system for the iGEM project. Outside the project, I am working the Dowell lab, focusing on gene regulation and cloning in yeast. This fall I resume my project: to determine the extent of pre- and post-transcriptional gene regulation in trisomy 21 individuals.

Joshua Ivie

I am a senior majoring in MCDB. I am working with the Garcea group

Daren Kraft

I am a junior double majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Biochemistry. My contributions to the iGEM project include concept and experiment design, CRISPR-Cas constructs, and drafting of cloning protocol. When not in the lab, I enjoy hiking, climbing, and camping.

Andrea Mariani

I am junior majoring in MCDB. I am focusing on dual infection as well as putting Cas9 and CRISPR on separate plasmids.

Alexander Martinez

I am a senior majoring in MCDB. Among my contributions to the projects are dual-infection experiments, Standford-Brown

Kirill Novik

I am a senior majoring in MCDB and minoring in Computer Science. My contribution to the project is the wiki page. Outside of the lab, I am working in the Lowry lab studying genome of Mycobacterium vaccae utilizing various bioinformatics methods.

Rebecca Popowitz

I am working with the Gold lab. I enjoy baking.

Joaquin Quintana

I am a junior majoring in MCDB. I am working on the dual infection.

Kendra Shattuck

I am a senior majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. My part on the iGEM project includes Interlab Measurement Study, Outreach, and the CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid engineering.

Leighla Tayefeh

I am a senior double majoring in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Neuroscience. Sythetic biology's vast potential to benefit society attracted me to join iGEM. I am involved in engineering a plasmid devoted to the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Outside of lab, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.

Justine Wagner

I am majoring MCDB and Biochemistry. I work in the Dowell lab alongside Jo (working with sythetic phagemid product). In addition to iGEM, I also conduct research in the Bowman research group with joint collaboration with Musgrave research group in which my major work consists of synthesizing various APO derived photo-initiators. When I graduate next year, I hope to be accepted into a top bioengineering graduate program where my research will be focused on either tissue engineering and/or bioartificial organ synthesis.

Rishab Yadav

I am a junior in highschool. I am developing a computer program that searches the target sites for Cas9

Sarah Zimmermann

I am a senior majoring in MCDB. I am working on the dual infection project.

Advisors

Michael Brasino

I am a graduate student advisor in the materials science PhD program

Samantha O'Hara

I am a graduate student advisor in MCDB. I study transcriptional Evolution in the Dowell Lab

Cloe Simmone Pogoda

I am a graduate student advisor in the molecular biology (MCDB) PhD program
