Advisors


Dr. Casim A. Sarkar

Dr. Casim A. Sarkar is the Principal Investigator of the Molecular Cell Engineering Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Bioengineering. His research interests include molecular cell engineering, protein engineering, ligand/receptor binding and trafficking, cell signaling and decision making, and computational, synthetic, and systems biology. Dr. Sarkar received a PhD in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Computational Biology at MIT and a BS in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.

Dr. Mark Goulian

Dr. Mark Goulian is the Edward J. and Louise W. Kahn Endowed Term Professor of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania. His research is focused on the regulatory circuits that bacteria use to sense and respond to the environment. His other research interests include two-component signaling in E. coli and directed evolution of signaling circuits. Dr. Goulian received his PhD from Harvard University.

Dr. Jordan S. Miller

Dr. Jordan S. Miller is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania in Dr. Christopher S. Chen’s Tissue Microfabrication Laboratory in the Department of Bioengineering. He is currently also a board member of Hive76 and before his time at Penn, he was a developer at RepRap and and an associate at PTV Sciences. Dr. Miller received a PhD from Rice University and earned his undergraduate degree from MIT.

Acknowledgements


Daphne Ng

Daphne Ng is a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania in Dr. Casim A. Sarkar’s Molecular Cell Engineering Laboratory in the Department of Bioengineering. She graduated from Cornell University in 2008 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. The 2012 Penn iGEM team would like to thank Daphne for her contribution to the cloning and design process, as well as providing expression and cloning vectors.

Najaf A. Shah
