The WashU 2012 iGEM team consists of six undergraduate students majoring in biochemistry, biomedical engineering and biology, along with an amazing team of graduate students and professors that advised us along the way. Without them, the project would have been unattainable. We would like to thank them and everyone else who helped us realize this project.
The team was assembled during the beginning of the spring semester. Through weekly meetings where we brainstormed project ideas with the advisors, we eventually arrived at a concrete idea. Then, we started working on our gene. During the summer, we did all of the lab work required for our project while still meeting with our advisors weekly to talk over the nitty-gritty of the project, such as protocols and basic premises behind our project.
In terms of organization, Tony and Lucas were the research leads who directed everyday tasks. Caleb was the lab manager responsible for managing supplies. Andrew and Brian were in charge of the website, and Peter was the treasurer. Even though we had separate roles we worked together on most aspects of the project. Go TEAM!
