Team:Exeter/Collaborators

Professor Winlove was instrumental in encouraging Alex, James and Ryan, his Undergraduate Master of Physics Students, to apply for the 2012 Exeter iGEM Team, and has been a fierce proponent of Exeter's first ever entry into the competition. He was delighted to hear that the team had chosen to base their project around the synthesis of bespoke polysaccharides, a subject on which he has held a great personal interest in for many years. Subsequently, his shared insights into the physical structure and properties of these monomer chains have enriched our discussions on the possible future applications of the bespoke polysaccharides that our system will make possible, helping us to develop the foundational purpose behind the project.
