Our 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.

Instructors

Dr. Alfonso Jaramillo Contact

Group leader of the Synth-Bio team at iSSB

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

Thomas Landrain Contact

PhD candidate in Jaramillo's Group at iSSB

Ex-student of the Ecole Normale Superieure de Paris, he is now a PhD student at iSSB in Alfonso Jaramillo's Group where he is developing new technologies, using the properties of RNA molecules, for analyzing and controlling cell fate in bacteria. He is also the co-founder and president of the first community lab for biotechnology in France "La Paillasse", affiliated with the DIYbio world movement. In 2007, he was one of the founder and participants of the first french iGEM team that became finalist of the competition and received the first prize for foundational research.

Dr. Andrew Tolonen Contact

Group leader at Genoscope

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 our team in the selection and construction of the project. He participated in the supervision of Harvard iGEM teams during his post-PhD.

Advisors

Pablo Carbonell

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).

Anna Mlynarczyk

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.

Cyrille Pauthenier
Student of the Ecole Normale Supérieure and member of mSSB

Former member the 2011 iGEM Paris-Bettencourt team who was a finalist and won the prize for best presentation at the European semi-final, then was in the top 16 in the final at MIT. He is now starting a PhD in metabolic engineering at Jean-Loup Faulon's laboratory.
