<b>Devon Trumbauer a.k.a. “Team Mom”</b><br />Devon puts the team before herself. If no one on the team wants to do something, she will do it to get it done. She is a Senior Biomedical Engineer who dabbles in computer graphics. She is a jack-of-all-trades, from being the editor of the wiki to the designer of this year’s logo. As team mom, Devon brings cupcakes in to work, organizes team meetings when no one else wants to, and being generally nitpicky about lots of things. Devon also loves cats. <br />

<b>Kristen Schackmann a.k.a. “Kris, she’s a ten”</b><br />She is a Junior Biomedical Engineer who nominated herself as the team photographer. She has played a vital role in graphic design on the team and designed the team shirts. Kristen devoted a considerable amount of her time to learning the intricate workings of Molecular Maya in order to produce a video deomonstrating the molecular pathway. She is a master of communication and is always on the front lines when working with the media (we think it’s because of her bubbly personality.) <br />

<b>Adam Nighswander a.k.a. “NightHawk”</b><br />Adam is a Junior Applied Biology/Computational Science major. He is the team’s go to man for coding, creating the MATLAB codon-optimizing program for the team. Adam, along with Bobby, is the leader of the lab initiative.

Official Team Profile

Undergraduates

  • Robert French a.k.a. “Bobby”
    Robert and Alex are responsible for the major design of this year’s project. Many of the major finds were done through the combination of their efforts. Robert is a Senior Chemical Engineer with a second major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He has made a name for himself for being the team member to ask about procedure and process for the project. Bobby does generically awesome things.
  • Ben Deschaine a.k.a. "Big Ben"
    Ben is a Senior Biomedical Engineer who acts as our team leader. He’s the first one to speak up for the team and diffuses tension when necessary. He dabbles a little bit in all areas of the project and ties them together. He always has valuable input and constructive criticism. During the team's trip to the iGEM High School competition, Ben heroically defended the honor of the trophy (even when a team member betrayed him by trying to steal it) while the presentations were going on. He is the holder of the coveted title “Best Youtube Video While on Break."
  • Alex Krug a.k.a. “Krug”
    Alex is the counterpart to the Synthetic Design team. He is a Senior Biochemist that has done work with Synthetic Biology before. With the help of Bobby, they found many of the breakthroughs that made this project possible. He has nearly perfected his technique of analyzing papers and proving their relevance towards the project. Krug is best known for proposing ideas and then having them shot down by Bobby, but we still love him anyways.
  • Devon Trumbauer a.k.a. “Team Mom”
    Devon puts the team before herself. If no one on the team wants to do something, she will do it to get it done. Devon is a Senior Biomedical Engineer who dabbles in computer graphics and would have been a graphic designer if not an engineer. She's a jack-of-all-trades, from being the editor of the wiki to the designer of this year’s logo. As team mom, Devon brings cupcakes in to work, organizes team meetings when no one else wants to, and being generally nitpicky about lots of things. Devon also loves cats.
  • Kristen Schackmann a.k.a. “Kris, she’s a ten”
    She is a Junior Biomedical Engineer who nominated herself as the team photographer. She has played a vital role in graphic design on the team and designed the team shirts. Kristen devoted a considerable amount of her time to learning the intricate workings of Molecular Maya in order to produce a video deomonstrating the molecular pathway. She's a master of communication and is always on the front lines when working with the media (we think it’s because of her bubbly personality.)
  • Adam Nighswander a.k.a. “NightHawk”
    Adam is a Junior Applied Biology/Computational Science major. He's the team’s go to man for coding, creating the MATLAB codon-optimizing program for the team. Adam, along with Bobby, is the leader of the lab initiative. Once classes started in the fall, Adam spent time in between classes checking on transformations and colonies.

Faculty Advisors

  • Dr. Ric Anthony
    Dr. Anthony specializes in cell and molecular biology, genetics, protein synthesis, and ribosome structure and function. His research focuses on ribosomal proteins and the accuracy of translation in yeast and new approaches to education in the biological sciences. Dr. Anthony has worked hard to start an iGEM team at Rose-Hulman and has also begun the synthetic biology program on campus.
  • Dr. Dave Goulet
    Dr. Goulet earned his PhD at Caltech by building mathematical models of the map-kinase signaling pathway in c. elegans. He is generally interested in mathematical modeling of communication between developing cells and has recently been modeling size-exclusion chromatography and dimer exchange assays for estrogen receptor protein. Dr. Goulet is also an avid rock climber (mainly bouldering) and the faculty advisor for the Rose-Hulman Climbing Club.
  • Dr. Yosi Shibberu
    Dr. Shibberu is originally from Ethiopia. His degrees are in mathematics and electrical engineering, but his attraction to synthetic biology brought him to the iGEM team. This summer, Dr. Shibberu, along with Dr. Anthony, attended the GCAT SynBio workshop at HHMI’s Janelia Farms Research Campus. His current interests are structural bioinformatics, the estrogen receptor, and hidden Markov modeling. Dr. Shibberu is currently working his way toward becoming a paperless professor!
  • The Rose-Hulman iGEM team is proud and excited to announce AIT Bioscience as our generous sponsor and primary supporter. This expert contract research organization provides quantitative bioanalytical support for pre-clinical and Phase I through Phase III clinical trials.

  • Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology provided the laboratory and work spaces for the iGEM team, as well as providing on-campus housing for the students.

  • MathWorks provided software for use by iGEM teams in their projects. The software package includes MATLAB and SimBiology, a computational systems biology tool ideal for modeling the processes studied in iGEM projects.

  • AutoDesk is another sponsor of iGEM teams. Autodesk's software Molecular Maya allows users to build and animate molecular structure models and is being utilized by the team to animate the kinase pathway.

    • Special thanks go out to the supporters and contributors of the RHIT iGEM Team: Sam Harris for the initial coding and troubleshooting of the RHIT wiki, Michael Schackmann for constructing the exhibit for the Terre Haute Children’s Museum, and to Susan Nighswander for coordinating the production of the team shirts.
