Anne Haziza
Anne is a third-year student in Biochemistry and Biotechnologies at INSA Lyon. She takes part in the IGEM competition for the first time. This project is a good way for her to improve her organization, ingenuity and dynamism which will be very useful for her future. Outside of school, she enjoys cooking, playing handball and mainly travelling as soon as possible! So she counts on the talent of her team to discover Amsterdam and of course Boston!
Alex Mizgier
Alex is a third year biochemist at INSA Lyon. He’s from Chile, specifically from the northern limit of Western Patagonia.
He got into the iGEM project because he thinks that it’s a unique experience and an excellent opportunity to learn more about bacterial manipulation and synthetic biology.
Apart from microbiology, he likes reading, playing rugby, bicycle touring, and everything that involves nature and outdoor activities. Within him you will find a knight-errant.
Ioana Sandu
Ioana is a first year Biochemistry student. She decided to join the Lyon team because she believes that the iGEM competition is a challenging experience that will put her to the test. Apart synthetic biology, she likes dancing, stargazing and reading while listening to music (the older, the better).
Audrey Masi
Also known as squirrelix because she used to climb up on trees and hide in narrow cupboard to make jokes to her friends. She is a first year bioengineer. She joins the IGEM team after a first experience in molecular biology to improve her knowledge and dicover the synthetic biology approach. Outside of IGEM she is interested in rock dance, cooking, travelling, and above all that in litterature.
Marion Wolfovski
Marion has a bachelor in Sciences and is studying Biochemistry and Biolotechnology. This is her first participation in the iGEM competition. She loves news challenges and iGEM is an amazing opportunity to manage together her passion for biology and to build a project. (a scientific adventure). She loves sports and making astonishing cooking for her lovely team !
Marion Traouan
Marion is an undergraduate student in biochemistry and biotechnologies at INSA Lyon. This is her first participation in an IGEM team. She considers this as an opportunity not only to acquire specific qualifications very useful for the future, but also to participate in the construction of an attractive project from scratch.
Besides her interest in biosciences, she is into sports like basket-ball or volley-ball, reading and cinema. She hopes her blondness not to be an obstacle to the realization of this project.
Alexandre Duprey
This year, I’m back for another iGEM competition. I’m still at INSA Lyon, 4th year biochemistry and biotechnology, and still interested in how we can regulate parts to make them work together. However this time I’m rather advising on the project with the intent to improve our weak points (who said modelling ?), and making sure the newcomers don’t make (too many) mistakes. Otherwise I play video games. A lot. Too much...
Béryl Royer-Bertrand
This is my second participation in the iGEM competition with the INSA Lyon team. In 4th year in Bioinformatics and Modeling, i’m helping this year the team in the modeling part from Scotland, where i am in academic exchange.

My teaching activities in the Microbial Genetics mainly take place within the Biosciences department at INSA Lyon, but also at the Ecole Normale Supérieur de Lyon and at the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1.

My research work is based on the understanding of genetic mecanisms involved in the formation of biofilms and the contamination of materials. Being the Communications officer for the Biosciences department, my participation in iGEM 2011 is part of a strategy to promote and share knowledge in the field of research in genetic engineering and more generally in Biological Sciences.
Valérie Desjardin
Associate professor at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon

After a Master of Advanced Studies in Biochemistry and a PhD in Chemistry and Science and Techniques of waste, now I teach Chemistry classes and also a class dealing with radioactive waste management in the Energy Engineering and Environment department. My research work at the Laboratory of Civil engineering and Environmental engineering (LGCIE) is currently aimed at the study of biophysicochemical interactions of pollutants in various compounds (soils, sediments, municipal solid waste) using molecular biology tools. I am very excited to take part in the iGEM 2011 project which leads to the development of a synergy, already launched, between the Biosciences department and Environmental sciences.
