Collaborators

The University of Exeter 2012 iGEM Team wishes thank and acknowledge the support and input of, the people without whom this project would not have been possible.

Hover over their images to read their individual contributions and follow the links to their official pages to find out more about them.

From the University of Exeter: Department of Biosciences
  • Dr. Nicholas Harmer

    Doctor Harmer helped to plant the seed of an idea for this project at the very beginning of our iGEM experience. He has been an invaluable font of help and support throughout the project, and has given time to present a seminar of polysaccharides.

  • Prof. John Love

    We are very grateful to Professor Love, who has kindly given over the resources and work space of his lab this summer along with an allocation of his research budget, for the team to conduct the wet-lab elements of the project. He has made himself available for advice throughout the project, and given time to present a seminar on synthetic biology.

  • Prof. Nicholas Smirnoff

    We are very grateful to Professor Smirnoff, who has kindly given over the resources and work space of his lab this summer for the team to conduct the wet-lab elements of the project. He has made himself available for advice throughout the project, and given time to present a seminar on metabolic engineering.

  • Dr. Michael Page

    We are very grateful to Dr Page for his helpful input at different stages across the project.

    Dr. Michael Page

  • Dagmara Kolak

    The Team would like to thank Dagmara for all her help within the lab this summer, from providing the safety talks, to guiding everyone through the correct use of lab equipment, and most of all for being on hand to fix things when something went wrong!

  • Dr. Mark Wood

    We would like to acknowledge the assistance and advice rendered to us by Doctor Wood with Chemical Synthesis.

    Dr. Mark Wood

  • Dr. Sara Burton

    We would like to thank Doctor Burton for the time spent with us at the beginning of the project introducing the advanced laboratory skills to those who have not (and reminding those who had) been initiated in the arts of practical biology. We'd like to ackowledge her helpful advice throughout the project as well.

    Dr. Sara Burton

  • Dr. Mark Ramsdale

    We would like to thank Doctor Ramsdale for the time spent with us at the beginning of the project introducing the general laboratory skills to those who have not (and reminding those who had) been initiated in the arts of practical biology.

    Dr. Mark Ramsdale

  • Ed Creed

    Ed Creed was our primary contact for advertising the Exeter iGEM project to the wider University via the many associated web outlets.

From the University of Exeter: College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences
  • Prof. C Peter Winlove (Physics)

    Professor Winlove has been a fierce proponent of Exeter's first ever entry into the iGEM competition. He has helped us develop the foundational purpose of the project, sharing insights into the physical structure and properties of polysaccharides (a personal interest) allowing us to realise the possible future applications of our system output.

    Prof. C Peter Winlove

  • Dr. John Rowe (Physics)

    Doctor Rowe was instrumental in the early stages of the GlycoWeb build, helping Liam get to grips with the Python programming language and making himself available for any subsequent queries as the project advanced.

    Dr. John Rowe

  • Dr. Orkun Soyer (Mathematics)

    Doctor Soyer enthused our Mathematician Andy into creadting a model that could be created to optimise our biosynthetic system, and made himself available for advice and guidance throughout this period of the project.

    Dr. Orkun Soyer

From the ESRC Centre for Genomics in Society (EGENIS) @ the University of Exeter
  • Prof. Steve Hughes

    Professor Hughes provided us with methods of team planning and organisation, and has been an invaluable source of information and support throughout the project. He also chaired and organised for, our presentation at Cafe Scientifique Exeter

    Prof. Steve Hughes

  • Dr. Sabina Leonelli

    Doctor Leonelli provided support for our review of Human Practices with regard to the project.

    Dr. Sabina Leonelli

From the Greenpeace Research Laboratories @ the University of Exeter
  • David Santillo

    Mr Santillo helped us to consider the wider human practice and safety issues connected with our project and was instrumental in helping us fit the project within these guidelines.

From Research and Knowledge Transfer @ the University of Exeter
  • Dr. Matthew Baker

    Doctor Baker delved into the the wider impact that the project could have, introducing us to the idea of Intellectual Property and the associated legal connotations. We enthusiastically broached the subject of why and how a business could be created out of our work and discussed the hurdles associated with such a development.

    Dr. Matthew Baker

  • Dr. Teresa Penfield

    Doctor Penfield also helped delve into the the wider impact that the project could have, introducing us to the idea of Intellectual Property and the associated legal connotations. We enthusiastically broached the subject of why and how a business could be created out of our work and discussed the hurdles associated with such a development.

    Dr. Teresa Penfield

  • Mark Kelly

    As with Doctors Baker and Penfield, Mr Kelly helped us to consider the future impact of the work that we had undertaken, explaining in depth the procedures that would have to be followed to identify the potential of the project and purpose in creating a business out of the idea.

Beyond the University of Exeter
  • Marian Littlejohn

    Mrs Littlejohn was our artistic image consultant. She helped us early on in the project, guiding us towards producing a professional image in the manner of our information outlets. This involved the crafting of an impacting project title and in particular, a logo from which we would draw our visual themes for the rest of our time on the project.
