Team:Paris/Team

Christophe Chabbert

Mathematics, Mines Paris Tech
AKA "Colonel Chabbert", he is our specialist in modelling especially for an "easy/ordinary" delay system. He likes sciences (really ?? ), his iGEM co-workers ;-), pizzas, burger and ... wait for it .... Coca-cola

Caroline Loy

Biology, Master 1 AIV
After 3 months as a cow-girl in the middle of nowhere (Scotland), she decided to make animal experimentation on bacteria =D

Bodinier Romain
Biology, UTC
Still wondering why he is here ... (Is he looking for a new bacto-foot after the lost of his left one ???). But we may have a proposition of his participation at iGEM....finally we don't.

Boumahdi Soufiane
Biochemistry, Insa Lyon
Every team needs to have "panem et circenses", Soufifi is here for entertaining us. Be careful for the jamboree, The crazy singer is coming !!! stay close to him and you will understand.... hoo year you will.

Olivier Charlotte
Biology/genetics, European Magister of Genetic and Management/marketing: Specialized Master in management and marketing for the pharmaceutical industry, ESCP-Europe
Our Obiwan Kenoby of the lab (without the laser saber)!!!
Stoff's note : i may say that she is more like princess Leyla :D

Beauclair Guillaume
Biology/Infectiology, Paris 7
Labholic --> working too hard could be dangerous for your health (too much vegetables also). Our 20hour/day lab worker

Aguiton Sara
Social Studies of Science, EHESS
Please, use simple ethical words when you are talking to a scientist assembly ;-)

Richard Christophe
Biology/Informatics, Master AIW
AKA "Bibi", he can talk to computer (Respect !!!!) but not to iPhone ... what a shame for an iPhone developer

Malfondet Luc
Physics/ Nanotechnology & Nanobioscience Master 2 AIV

Escamilla Pierre
Mathematics, Supelec
Cafeino-man and modellingo-man.
Spanisho-man and algorythmo-man.

Hélas-Othenin Sylvain
Chemistry, Ecole Normale Supérieure , Master 2 AIV
Graduation in Chemistry at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris - Interdisciplinary Master in Life Sciences at Université Paris Descartes, Paris ... but currently lost in the Middle-East !

Du Vicard
Biology, Master 1 AIV
Uncle Mc Donalds is his best friend

Ariel Lindner

Co-initiator of the Centre for Research and Interdisciplinarity (cri-paris.org), Ariel is an INSERM tenured senior researcher and director of the Interdisciplinary Approaches to Life Sciences ('AIV') master program at the Paris Descartes and Diderot Universities. Ariel has graduated from the Hebrew University (Jerusalem, Israel) "Amirim" interdisciplinary program with major in Chemistry and received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science (Rehovot, Israel) in Chemical Immunology for his work on catalytic antibodies as enzyme models, antibody conformational changes and directed evolution. After a research period at the Scripps Institute (California, USA), he received EMBO and Marie Curie fellowships to pursue postdoctoral work in Paris. His study interests evolve around applying Physical, Chemical and Biological approaches to study aging and variability between clonal individuals. Ariel has been leading the Paris iGEM team since its conception over three years ago and cannot wait to bring another trophy home...

Samuel Bottani

Physicist
Trained as a physicist, natural evolution made me shift from cosmology to molecular biology. I'm interested in a variety of scientific issues and their applications. I'm inspired by beauty and how forms, behaviors and ideas emerge and this drives me in my explorations of the wonders on Nature. Primarily how complex structures and behavior emerge and evolve. We are in an extraordinary period where never so many details have been known on living organisms. Whole genomes are known and extraordinary technological advances enable in vivo tracking and action on single cells and molecules. There is the feeling that a new level of understanding of Life is about to be gained, with fantastic potential for the evolution of humanity. I am eager to participate to endeavor and by my research and critical thinking. It is my opinion that scientists, as highly and costly educated citizens have social duty for the collectivity. Engagement in education is essential, ethical concern and involvement in technological and business matters for the benefit of all. I am co-director of the international Ph.D. program "Frontières du Vivant" (Frontiers in Life Sciences, www.fdv-paris.org) of the Universities Paris Descartes and Paris Diderot for interdisciplinary research programs on Life Sciences issues. Hosted at the Centre for Research and Interdisciplinarity (cri-paris.org) as the IGEM Paris team we support active approaches in education for interdisciplinary research.

François Le Fèvre

Biocomputational scientist
My research interests lie in the intersection of bioinformatics, and applied software engineering. My approach to research involves an interplay between experimental and theoretical modeling techniques, and is focused towards identifying and elucidating new knowledge interesting for biologists.

Super-Lama
Some kid of lama guy/girl
she/he (and we voted for she) is our main mascot. Why ? because she is awesome don't you think? She live somewhere in the middle of South America, and mailed us to be our mascot for the year. Thus, we deliberated and agreed with the fact of her super motivation of our iLife page, what a glory for the lama community!
