Team:Exeter/Collaborators

Doctor Harmer helped to plant the seed of an idea for this project at the very beginning of our iGEM experience. He has been an invaluable font of help and support throughout the project.

We are very grateful to Professor Love, who has kindly given over the resources and work space of his lab this summer along with an allocation of his research budget, for the team to conduct the wet-lab elements of this project. He has made himself available for advice and guidance throughout the project, and given time to present a seminar on synthetic biology.

Professor Winlove has been a fierce proponent of Exeter's first ever entry into the iGEM competition. He has helped us develop the foundational purpose of the project, sharing insights into the physical structure and properties of polysaccharides (a personal interest) allowing us to realise the possible future applications of our system output.

Doctor Rowe was instrumental in the early stages of the GlycoWeb build, helping Liam get to grips with the Python programming language and making himself available for any subsequent queries as the project advanced.

Doctor Soyer enthused our Mathematician Andy into creadting a model that could be created to optimise our biosynthetic system, and made himself available for advice and guidance throughout this period of the project.

Professor Hughes provided us with methods of team planning and organisation, and has been an invaluable source of information and support throughout the project.

Doctor Leonelli provided support for our review of Human Practices with regard to the project.
