General Support

Dr. Mark Styczynski: Associate Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology

Monica McNerney: Doctoral Student at Georgia Institute of Technology


In addition to providing resources, Monica McNerney and Dr. Styczynski assisted Lambert iGEM through its project by acting as mentors and aiding in the problem-solving conversations. There have been multiple conference calls in which Dr. Styczynski and Monica McNerney helped the Lambert iGEM team troubleshoot and revise its project. Dr. Styczynski has also generously provided materials that a high school lab does not have access to. We would like to thank them for helping us complete our project.

Dr. Saad Bhamla generously provided the design files for 3-D printing our own paperfuge. He also provided feedback on our designs for the improved version.

Dr. Anna Karls: Associate Professor at University of Georgia


Lambert iGEM received advice from Dr. Karls, a microbiology professor at the University of Georgia. She gave feedback about how to assemble our construct more effectively.
