What we did

Advisors:

  • Eric Lagally was the prime mover for the British Columbia iGEM team. He started the team in October 2008 and was responsible for organizing the team, seeking internal UBC funding and extramural funding, and handling logistics like space and resources. He was assisted in these efforts by other advisors and all team members.
  • Joanne Fox helped write funding requests for internal funding, provided guidance on research direction, and helped set up the computing resources we used in our experiments. She was also the main contact point between the team and the Advanced Molecular Biology Lab, the teaching lab where a large part of the experiments were performed.
  • David Ng also co-wrote funding requests, and worked with Joanne and Eric to let us use all of the resources of the AMBL lab during the summer.
  • 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 assembled the night away for most of the summer, focusing on the lock/key subproject as well as general use assemblies, and then moved on to pBAD promoter characterization in fall. She was also in charge of all parts submissions to the registry.
  • 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.
  • 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 Ke helped with experiment design, sponsorship, and lab work.
  • Karen Cheshire
  • Mark Ling

Where we're from
