Brice Enjalbert

Brice Enjalbert is the veteran of ours instructors and was present to all the Giant Jamboree in Boston so far. Pessimistic down to his bones, he loves nothing more than to pressure iGEM students.
(Muwahahaha...)

Fun fact:

Régis Faure

Regis have skills in organic synthesis, he supplies vital in-house expertise in the field of glycochemistry, such as design of ad hoc substrates for easy specific detection of enzymatic activities Recently, he began a shift in his research focus towards the redesign of enzyme active sites, based on the use of unnatural amino acids. Concerning iGEM,

Fun fact: Whatever happen on earth or even in the universe, Regis will dress with pants from the 21st of december, and with shorts from the 31st of march.

Stéphanie Heux

Stéphanie is our primary PI with Brice Enjalbert. She is interested in the microbial metabolism and try to understand and predict the behaviour natural and synthetic microorganisms for biotechnological applications. To do that, she developed in silico (reconstruction and modelling of the metabolism) and experimental (metabolomics, fluxomics) methods.

Fun fact: Stéphanie is less and less prone to be late by racing from meetings to meetings with her novel super-scooter.

Anthony Henras

Anthony HENRAS had a training in microbiology and molecular biology and is durrently a permanent researcher at the Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). His research interests focus on the study of ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes, using mainly yeast and human cell as model organisms.

Fun fact:

Yves Romeo

Fun fact: Yves Romeo is the « Purple man » of the 2017 iGEM team. He loves purple. His dresses in purple, his Power Point presentations are in purple and he wears purple gloves in the lab. However he can still do better since his car is green and he does not like eggplants !!! Yves Romeo is also a kebab chicken sandwich aficionado. He had this sandwich everytime during our lunch time iGEM metings along with a « pain au raisin ».

Pierre Millard

Pierre combines experimental and computational approaches to investigate the operation of microbial metabolic networks in the context of systems and synthetic biology projects. In iGEM, Pierre contributes to scientific discussions and assists more specifically in the modeling part of the project.

Fun fact:

Gilles Truan

Gilles is the synthetic biology referent. He has strong competences in Molecular Biology and a good knowledge of the synthetic biology field in France and Europe. He has initiated the iGEM team in Toulouse in 2013 and has been following them since, with less and less implication over the years!!

Fun fact: Gilles is not only a living legend in synthetic biology, he is also an amazing snoring machine.

Florence Bordes

Florence is our yeast specialist. Even if she works with a strange yeast (Yarrowia lipolytica), she helped us with the more classical Pichia pastoris yeast. She was our official furnisher of Yeast Nitogen Base and also other compounds for molecular biology.

Fun fact: Gilles is not only a living legend in synthetic biology, he is also an amazing snoring machine.

Cédric Montanier

My main topic is about relationship between synergism and modularity in enzymes involved in deconstruction of polysaccharides from plant cell wall. In particular, I'm interested to better understand how spatial proximity and modularity within enzymes impact hydrolysis of such complex polysaccharides.

Fun fact: Cedric’s presence on iGEM meeting is correlated with an extension about 30% of the time of discussion.
