While much of the work done for Bartii was accomplished by the students,
we could not have gotten here without the help of so many advisers:
| Name | Role | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Lamia Arafa | Lab Technician | Worked on shipping genetic parts to iGEM HQ, ***Western Blots, Zonulin Cuff assays, and the development of the gliadin cuff*** |
| Taylor Bane | Accounting Specialist | Helped us to quickly buy plane tickets under a reimbursement assumption |
| Michael Blaber | Protein Engineering Advisor | Helpful feedback on the design of our solutions including suggestion of chassis and use of truncated membrane proteins. |
| Jonathan Dennis | Head of Lab and Molecular Biology Advisor | In addition to giving us lab space and letting us use the resources in his lab, he helped us decide on the assays we used, trained us in lab protocols, and helped us order resources for our experiments. |
| Lisa Fowler | Account Manager | She managed our SRAD account, the account we used when making purchases related to research |
| Ron Frazier | Social Advisor | He helped organize socials and opened his house to our team and gave us a relaxing space to unwind. |
| Samuel Grant | BMES Advisor | He helped us collaborate with the Biomedical Society Chapter at FSU, helped us with fundraising at FSU, and gave us candid feedback on our presentation. |
| Jesse Torres | Fundraising Advisor | *** |
| Sarishni Patel | *** | *** |
| Robert Potts | Project Management Advisor | He helped teach the basics of project management to help us develop a team structure and workflow. |
| Janine Welch | Account Manager | She helped manage our FSU Foundation account, and assisted us in timely reserving the hotel rooms |
| Cesar Rodriguez | Primary PI | He gave general support to the team, assisted in the team structure development, recruitment, helped develop the wiki, helped lead the fundraising effort, and gave candid feedback throughout the summer. |
| Emily Pritchard | Secondary PI | She gave general support to the team, assisted in the team structure development, recruitment, helped develop the book, scheduled the elementary school outreach, and gave candid feedback throughout the summer. |
Cesar
Rodriguez
Primary PI
Cesar Rodriguez started the iGEM team with support from the Provost. At the beginning of the 2017 Spring semester, he recruited iGEM members and advisors. After forming this team, he helped generate the team structure and workflow with the elected leaders, and continued showing support throughout the summer with candid feedback and supporting the fundraising effort. As we began to develop a solution to Celiac Disease, he helped organize one of FSU iGEM’s first public engagement activity with Moonshot Night. Now, as we are wrapping up our research, he has still been supporting the team by adding the parts to the registry, shipping out parts, and developing the skeleton of our wiki so that we can more easily learn HTML code. ***He also is developing the zonulin cuff and gliadin degrader. (This technically hasn't happened so should I put this?)***
Emily
Pritchard
Secondary PI
Emily Pritchard is the co-PI for the FSU iGEM team. While we were forced to choose a primary and secondary PI, her comments were taken just as seriously as Cesar's. At the beginning of this project, she was instrumental in developing the leaders of our team by discussing project management and connecting them with Robert Potts. She was instrumental in recruiting Erin Smyth, our designer for the team that is responsible for all the cartoon's on the poster and presentation. She assisted in fundraising on FSU campus and is a big reason we are able to come to the iGEM Jamboree. She helped organize iGEM’s public engagement with an elementary classroom (where her son learns!) and helped us get our book into print. Finally, she has always given us candid feedback to better develop our deliverables and our workflow.
Jonathan
Dennis
Head of Lab and Molecular Biology Advisor
Jonathan Dennis is the Molecular Biology advisor for the team, but when we started this project we soon realized we didn't have a place to conduct our research. In response, he let us set up our experiments in his lab and even gave us his resources to conduct the research. More than just giving us his space, he continued to be a mentor for our Create team and taught them the techniques to use in the lab, helped us buy lab resources through VWR, and assisted in designing the analytic assays that we used.
Michael
Blaber
Protein Engineering Advisor
Michael Blaber is the protein engineering advisor for the team. At the beginning of the project, we came up with the three-module system and even decided on what proteins to use on the membrane, but the main issue was that these proteins were too large. He helped us refine our solution by using a truncated protein (keeping only the extracellular part). After this key suggestion early in the project, he continued to give feedback on our progress and helped us troubleshoot problems.
Lamia
Arafa
Lab Assistant
Lamia Arafa is a graduate student working under Cesar Rodriguez. She was instrumental in some last minute lab-work as we were coming down to the wire: shipping out parts to iGEM HQ, ***Western Blots, Zonulin Cuff assays, Gliadin Degrader development (again, this hasn't happened yet so should I mention it?)***
***Flow
Cytometry***
Flow Cytometry Owner
Gave us access to their Flow Cytometer for the Interlab Study
***Plate
Reader***
Plate Reader Owner
Gave us access to their plate Reader for the Interlab Study and for the fluorescent assays for the gliadin cuff
Confocal
Microscopy
Adviser
Taught us how to perform a Confocal Microscopy to determine if the gliadin cuff was localizing on the membrane of the E. Coli cell.
Robert
Potts
Adviser
Helped us develop the structure and workflow of our team by teaching us the fundamentals of project management.
Ron
Frazier
Adviser
Gave us the space to relax and hang out and remind us that this project is about having fun while contributing to something larger than ourselves: the field of synthetic biology!
Janine
Welch
Adviser
Managing our FSU Foundation account, assisting us to timely reserve hotel rooms
Lisa
Fowler
Adviser
Managing our SRAD account
Taylor
Bane
Adviser
assisting us to timely purchase flights
Samuel
Grant
BMES Adviser
For welcoming us under the branch of the Biomedical Engineering Society Chapter at Florida State University
John
Gray
Adviser
Gave candid feedback for the poster, presentation, and wiki.
***Unsure
Attributions***
Not sure
Jesse Torres, Sarishni Patel, All the Deans, Miranda Manning.
Add of a brief bio for each adviser in addition to how they helped the team?
