What we did

Advisors:

  • Eric Lagally was the prime mover for the British Columbia iGEM team; he is the Principle Investigator of the Lagally Lab at UBC, and let us use a bench in his lab for experiments.
  • Joanne Fox helped set up the computing resources we used in our experiments.
  • David Ng let us use all of the resources of the AMBL lab during the summer.

Grad Student:

  • Paul Jaschke has been vital to troubleshooting our experiments, being careful not to dictate the direction the experiments should take. He's also been our administrator, purchasing reagents and supplies, booking rooms, and researching flights.


Students:

  • Alex Ng
  • Amelia Hardjasa is a full-time iGEM team member.
  • Calvin Chan
  • Charles Howes generated a FASTA file containing all biobricks, wrote a program that emulates the biobrick protocol to generate a FASTA file, and wrote a program to draw biobrick diagrams from component pieces. He also helped Eric Ma design a LIMS for the team, which should be finished sometime in the new year. Charles was also in charge of the Wiki pages.
  • Eric Ma helped to design experiments, organized the team, raised funds, and worked in the lab.
  • Geoff W
  • Hank Yu was open to help out any of the side tracks, from 20 hour competent cell making to whole assemblies to early-morning FACS to basic preparation work. He is also keen on spreading the word about iGEM across campus!
  • Heather Kempthorne is a full-time iGEM team member.
  • Janny helped with experiment design, sponsorship, and lab work.
  • Karen Cheshire
  • Mark Ling
