NRP UEA iGEM 2012

Joy Edwards-Hicks Biomedicine Undergraduate Joy is going into her third year and is looking forward to a future career working within cell biology; preferably working in a lab out in the jungle somewhere! She has done a fantastic job of managing the human practices side of the NRP UEA iGEM team, liasing with places such as STAR Radio and the Norwich Forum to score the team some brilliant opportunities to present the project. In her spare time Joy is normally found in the shops, until they close, when she can be found surfing eBay adding to her already-impressive clothes and shoes collection.

Khadija Ouadi Molecular Biology & Genetics Undergraduate Khadija anticipates beginning her third year of studies in September, and as someone that finds the intricacy of molecular biology amazing, she hopes to earn a living in academic research. iGEM has proved to be an experience she has relished, further fortifying her interest in research. In her spare time Khadija enjoys singing, the occasional bit of acting, and failing at teaching herself to play the guitar.	A PICTURE OR A VIDEO GOES HERE
Lukas Harnisch Biomedicine Undergraduate Lukas is entering his 3rd year of studying Biomedicine. For him iGEM is a great opportunity to dive into the world of synthetic biology, the possibility to learn new skills and broaden his understanding of this field of research, and to meet and collaborate with students from all over the world. This summer he is looking forward to spending lots of time with his team members both inside the lab and outside. In his free time he enjoys photography, cooking and cycling, as well as travelling, and is therefore especially excited to go to this years jamboree in Amsterdam.	A PICTURE OR A VIDEO GOES HERE

Rachel Dobson Molecular Biology & Genetics Undergraduate Rachel is a smiley, enthusiastic second year student, studying Molecular Biology and Genetics at UEA. Over the last two years at UEA, she has also developed an interest in cell biology and is keen to continue further studies in this area. She has really enjoyed her summer, from getting to know the other iGEMers while chilling and playing games by the lake, to listening to a wide variety of music while carrying out aspects of wet lab. Rachel likes the variation of tasks that she has been able to undertake as a consequence of participating in this rewarding competition, both the practical and research side, as well as taking part with the elements of human outreach. When Rachel is not in the lab she is usually filling her time being very active, for example she supervises a weekly cooking class for a local charity, and more recently she has been improving her badminton skills.

Rebecca Lo Molecular Biology & Genetics Undergraduate Rebecca is a third year student studying Molecular Biology and Genetics with a particular interest in plant genetics, and after university she hopes to pursue a career in academia. Applying for iGEM was an easy decision for her as it brought about the opportunity to meet students with similar interests to her, gain research experience, and of course have 10 weeks of awesomeness! She loves good food and drink and can quite literally eat for England. She also loves playing team sports but can be rather competitive; someone always gets hurt! She has a long list of accidental injuries, of which none are to herself, so you have been warned…	A PICTURE OR A VIDEO GOES HERE
Russell Gritton Biomedicine Undergraduate Russell is a third-year Biomedicine student looking forward to a career in cell biology research. He sees iGEM as a fantastic opportunity to become a part of a new, innovative branch of science with many real-world applications for the future, and is therefore excited to be a part of this year’s NRP UEA team. He particularly likes the creative side of the project and is the main user of the team’s Twitter, as well as having designed the Wiki and EyeGEM videos. In his free time Russell enjoys good music and good company, and is currently trying to learn the ukulele.	A PICTURE OR A VIDEO GOES HERE
Richard Bowater Advisor - Senior Lectuer A senior lecturer at the University of East Anglia in the School of Biological Sciences. Richard specialises in Biochemistry, and is currently leading a research team at the UEA. This work studies the macromolecular interactions of DNA repair mechanisms in bacteria, in particular focusing on DNA ligases. Founder of the team, he is the spiritual and academic advisor of the team; Richard Bowater, consistently keeps us on track in the project.	A PICTURE OR A VIDEO GOES HERE
Richard Kelwick Advisor - PhD Student Doctoral Student, Cancer Research at the University of East Anglia. His research is centered around understanding the role of proteases in breast cancer. He is interested in elucidating the tumour suppressor functions of several metalloproteinases, particularly ADAMTS15. He is a wizz kid in a things technological. Among the iGEM team he is renowned for his tweeting as he tweets more than Stephen Fry. Fueled by Twix's, he is super efficient at saving the day. His great advice, organisation of events and elevating the team spirit higher than a giraffe on stilts makes the NRP-UEA iGEM team the team that it is- #Thank you Richard and thank god for Twix's.

Amy Congdon NRP UEA iGEM Artist Amy Congdon completed her BA in Contemporary Textile Practices, at Norwich University College of Arts, and then went on to do her masters in Textile Futures, based at Central Saint Martins in London. Amy has played an important role as the team’s artist, since she got in touch with the team a few months before they started on their project. She is fascinated between the links of design, craft and science, and has used her interest to help the team to engage with the public. The team are very thankful to have her on board for her creative input, as well as her dedication and time to the team’s project. Amy has been very active within our human outreach program; from designing the team’s eye catching logo, to directing and editing their film.	A PICTURE OR A VIDEO GOES HERE
