Cihan TASTAN
Molecular Biology and Genetics Student
He is one of the creators of METU IGEM team. He is the third year student of Molecular Biology and Genetic and his main scientific interest is bioinformatics. Cihan wants to find solution to diseases like AIDS with integrating his information about bioinformatics and genetic.
Ozkan IS
Biology StudentHe is especially interested in neuroscience. In future, he wants to study in neuroscience field integrated with biotechnology. Also he is one of the creators of METU IGEM team and thinks that he can develop himself with this synthetic biology project.

Calum de Burgh
Subject: Genetics (Immunology)Although now deprived of a thinking beard, all is not lost as third year is done and 2009/10 brings an industrial placement in Melbourne, Australia. Originally started a Marine Biology degree, but changed when I realised I didn't want to smell like fish.
Md. Risat ul Haque
Subject: MicrobiologyI am going to begin my final year of undergraduate studies this session. Before that I have been lucky enough to spend my whole summer playing with the overwhelming and tantalizing world of 'Synthetic Biology' with an aim to construct our very efficient and dynamic 'Pico Plumber'!!!
Interested in :Cancer,Genetics, Synthetic Biology and Astronomy.

Zuzana Hruskova
Subject: Molecular BiologyAfter deciding that I didn’t want to finish my studies of Veterinary Medicine in Slovakia I decided to come to Aberdeen. I successfully finished 3rd year and spent crazy summer with other iGEM members thinking about cloning strategies. However after iGEM I am looking forward to starting an industrial placement. Who knows what will be my next crazy decision in the future?!!
Jennifer Kleine-Albers
Subject: Biomedical Science(Pharmacology)I have just finished my 3rd year in Biomedical Sciences (Pharmacology). This degree is not closely related to synthetic biology, but what made me taking part in iGEM is the interdisciplinary work, which I believe to be very important in future research.

Daniel Leirer
Subject: Genetics (Immunology)Having finished the 3rd year of my undergraduate degree I am spending the summer admiring Pico Plumbers many colourful charms, before starting an industrial placement with the Medical Research Council in London. Interested in Synthetic and Medical biology.

Rory MacDonald
Subject: Chemical EngineeringThis mad geeky juggling nerdy raver is going into his fourth year of an undergraduate masters degree in chemical engineering. With his passion-fruit for science and battle-quest for knowledge, he types out endless MATLAB scripts for the team whilst running on cereal and protein shake.
Katriona McMichael
Subject: ImmunologyI began my university career at Aberdeen studying Psychology. After deciding that it was not the subject for me, I transferred to the wonderful school of medical sciences to do a degree in Immunology. I have just finished my third year, and am now about to run away to the lovely country of Switzerland for a year’s industrial placement at Novartis.
James Reid
Subject: Mathematics and PhysicsJames is compulsively interested in Everything and oftimes inescapably chatty. Watch out for me wearing a kilt at the Jamboree! :-P
Nicholas Smart
Subject: PhysicsJust graduated this year in physics, starting work in August as a graduate optical engineer but spending summer lost somewhere in pico plumber's 29 dimensional parameter space
Annika Wipprecht
Subject: Mathematics and PhysicsI've just finished my 3rd year of my undergraduate degree in Maths and Physics. For my summer break I decided to take part in iGEM. Spending most of my time in front of a computer, it was good fun working on the dynamical behaviour of our Pico Plumber.
