Team

The third-ever Washington University in St. Louis iGEM team is composed of six undergraduate students majoring in biology, biochemistry and biomedical engineering. With the help of two mentors, Dr. Joe Jez and Dr. Gautam Dantas, and several graduate students (Brian Landry, Bert Berla, and Larry Page), the team developed and carried out a project of its own devising – namely, the synthesis of the components of saffron in the vector Synechocystis.

This year’s team was assembled at the beginning of the spring semester. Through weekly Wednesday morning meetings, the team brainstormed ideas with the mentors, eventually forming a concrete plan to be implemented over the summer. With most of the planning done during the semester, the team was free to spend the summer first ironing out the finer details of the project and then implementing the project.

-The WashU 2012 iGEM team consists of six undergraduate students majoring in biochemistry, biomedical engineering and biology, along with an amazing team of graduate students and professors that advised us along the way. The team included two mentors, Dr. Joe Jez and Dr. Gautam Dantas, and several graduate students (Brian Landry, Bert Berla, and Larry Page).Without them, the project would have been unattainable. We would like to thank them and everyone else who helped us realize this project.

-The team was assembled during the beginning of the spring semester. Through weekly meetings where we brainstormed project ideas with the advisors, we eventually arrived at a concrete idea. Then, we started working on our gene. During the summer, we did all of the lab work required for our project while still meeting with our advisors weekly to talk over the nitty-gritty of the project, such as protocols and basic premises behind our project.
