A multidisciplinary and complementary team

The members of the team come from different formations:

- Evry university, Master mSSB (Synthetic and systemic biology)
- Versailles Saint Quentin university
- Pierre & Marie Curie university
- Ecole Normale Supérieure
- Télécom Sud Paris (Informatic)
- Polytechnic school (Informatic)
- Sup'Biotech Paris (Biotechnology)
- Ecole Centrale Paris (Mathematical modelisation)

Our work environment: a key location for synthetic biology in France

The Institute of Systems and Synthetic Biology (iSSB):

iSSB is located on the Genopole® in Evry, host team in the summer. The iSSB is a laboratory at the University of Evry and CNRS, supported by Genopole®. It is a multidisciplinary environment or collaborate physicists, chemists, computer scientists and biologists. It is also the laboratory who founded and directs the Master 2 Systems Biology Synthetic and MSSB. This master of avant-garde, unique in France, offers courses provided by researchers at the forefront of their field, which guaranteed training in the state of the art techniques used in synthetic biology.

Composition of the team

Student members

Advisors

Associate researcher at the University of Evry
Computational biology coordinator of the team BioRetroSynth from iSSB

He is professor of mSSB and has his ability to supervise research. He has extensive experience in computer modeling in biology (PhD at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, a postdoc at the Polytechnic Institute of New York).

Doctoral student in proteomics (first year) at the university of Evry

She obtained a Master in Biotechnology at the University of Technology Westpomeranian of Szczecin in Poland. During her university studies she has conducted several training courses abroad (UEVE, TEPAK Cyprus) and Poland which made ​​her want to do research. Anna also performs the tutoring, which allows her to develop teaching skills.

Instructors

Team director of the Bio-Synth of iSSB

After a doctorate in theoretical physics, he was converted into synthetic biology for over 10 years. He gained international recognition in this field. It is now the team director of the Bio-Synth iSSB, working on the design, synthesis and characterization of biological regulatory artificial pathways. It is also one of the main teachers of mSSB. Alfonso Jaramillo will be the main iGEM team supervisor Evry-Genopole. He led iGEM team in Valencia in 2006, and participated in the supervision teams from Valencia and Paris.

Researcher at Genoscope in Evry

After a PhD in genetics and genomics of cyanobacteria at MIT and a post-doc in the team of George Church at Harvard, one of the largest synthetic biology laboratories in the world, he is now a researcher at Genoscope in Evry. His work focuses on the manufacture of biofuels by cyanobacteria. Andrew Tolonen attends the iGEM team Evry-Genopole in the selection and construction of the project. He participated in the supervision of Harvard iGEM teams during his post-doctorate.

Thomas Landrain Ancien étudiant de l’Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, il est aujourd’hui en thèse de doctorat à l’Institut de Biologie Systémique et Synthétique (iSSB) où il met au point de nouvelles technologies, basé sur la dynamique de l’ARN, pour la re-programmation et la visualisation de l’expression génétique chez les bactéries. Il est également le co-fondateur et le président du premier laboratoire communautaire pour les biotechnologies en France, «La Paillasse». Il fut en 2007 l’un des initiateurs et participants de la première équipe iGEM française qui fut finaliste de la compétition et remporta le premier prix de la recherche fondamentale.
