He got into the iGEM project because he thinks that it’s a unique experience and an excellent opportunity to learn more about bacterial manipulation and synthetic biology.
Apart from microbiology, he likes reading, playing rugby, bicycle touring, and everything that involves nature and outdoor activities. Within him you will find a knight-errant.
Besides her interest in biosciences, she is into sports like basket-ball or volley-ball, reading and cinema. She hopes her blondness not to be an obstacle to the realization of this project.
iGEM rocks so badly, when you do it once, you just wanna do it again :)
But this year, I'm keeping a low profile, just helping out the newbies to settle in and feel comfy in the lab. I'm still enjoying working around bacteria, apart from B. subtilis producing lysostaphin, because it smells so badly you just wanna die when you happen to be working in the same room!
I also like playing volleyball, cooking, baking and above all travelling and meeting new people ^^ See y'all at the Jamboree!
Bastien is a third-year student in Biochemistry and Biotechnologies at INSA Lyon and is taking part to iGEM for the first time. He joins the iGEM team to have a first sight of what is genetic and bacterial manipulation and to step into something different than studies. He likes sport, ski and computer graphics and hope to make it to Boston.
Patricia is an undergraduate student in Biochemistry and Biotechnology at INSA de Lyon. This year she participates for the first time at iGEM. She is very confident that INSA de Lyon team is going to win because the team's members worked very hard on the project and they all are skillful. She is passionate by biosciences. Outside the school she likes to watch movies and to travel whenever she has time.

My research work is based on the understanding of genetic mecanisms involved in the formation of biofilms and the contamination of materials. Being the Communications officer for the Biosciences department, my participation in iGEM 2011 is part of a strategy to promote and share knowledge in the field of research in genetic engineering and more generally in Biological Sciences.
After a Master of Advanced Studies in Biochemistry and a PhD in Chemistry and Science and Techniques of waste, now I teach Chemistry classes and also a class dealing with radioactive waste management in the Energy Engineering and Environment department. My research work at the Laboratory of Civil engineering and Environmental engineering (LGCIE) is currently aimed at the study of biophysicochemical interactions of pollutants in various compounds (soils, sediments, municipal solid waste) using molecular biology tools. I am very excited to take part in the iGEM 2011 project which leads to the development of a synergy, already launched, between the Biosciences department and Environmental sciences.
Young ;) ) Associate professor at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon
Up to now my work is focused on the trace metal behavior in the environment and their interaction with dissolved organic matter in aquatic ecosystems.
Now my work at the LGCIE laboratory is mainly to study traces metals/ organic matter behavior in various waste and to give an expertise on their potential toxicity depending on the bio-physico-chemical conditions of the studied site. As a chemist, my interest in the Igem project is to have a working approach angle allowing the improvements of our environment thanks to our complementarity.
aka Piezophilix because I work on high-pressure adaptation in microorganisms. My research is focussed on adaptation mechanisms in microbes from the deep-biosphere, and mainly in Archaea isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems. Our aim is to identify and quantify what genetic modifications make our favorite model, Pyrococcus yanaosii, require 500 times the atmospheric pressure for growth, when everybody else's favorite labrat, E. coli, cannot even growth at the same hydrostatic pressure. My teaching activities at the University of Lyon deal with petroleum reservoir microbiology and the use of biosignatures for the study of past and present environments.
