Meet Reuben. He is plagued by a dark, debilitating secret: Petty theft. There is nothing too lacking in value which he will not covet. Your family photos? Bye. Your cat food? Gone. This cactus from the Bower building?... Au revoir.
Advisors & Supervisors
Dr Julien Reboud
Julien's current research interests have a focus on integrating biology and engineering for the benefits of healthcare and industry. Two of his focuses are Acoustofluidics (for sample manipulation), and of course, synthetic biology.
Dr Sean Colloms
While not walking in the Scottish Highlands and shoulder crunching at prehistoric stone circles, Sean likes to tie knots in DNA and dream up new applications for DNA transposition and site-specific recombination.
James Provan
James is BACK for the third year in a row! He is a true iGEM veteran who worked tirelessly to make sure we were on track for a gold medal. He is now residing permanently in the Bower Building working on his PhD.
Katy Baker
Katy has been an iGEM enthusiast for two years now. She was the team’s mother hen and her duties included going round to everyone's flat in the morning to wake them up and motivate them for the day. Katy is also known as the maker of mascots. She is now living in Manchester working on her PhD where she is working on using synthetic biology for the production of novel antibiotics.
Jumai Abioye
