THE TEAM

Justin
Bartell

Team Lead - Biomedical Engineering

Responsibilities include: focusing on the overarching goals for the iGEM competition and setting deadlines for the team to reach those goals, brainstorming with each workgroup, gathering resources for the workgroups, and playing a major role in the fundraising campaign. Mainly, I give my team members the space to become experts in their part of the project while making sure we’re on the path to a gold medal!

William
Hochstedler

Associate Team Lead - Biomedical Engineering

Responsibilities are securing locations for meetings, organizing social events, corresponding with SGA to get iGEM registered as a student organization, helping team leader and members wherever necessary (fundraising, keeping teams updated, corresponding with advisors).

Isabel
Lamb

Head of Create Team - Biomedical Engineering

Responsible for building and testing the cell designs, overseeing testing protocols, responsible for a system of naming the designs, doing transformations, plasmid preps, restriction cuts, run gels and gel purifications.

Westin
Kosater

Create Team Member - Biochemistry

Responsible for testing protocols, doing plasmid mini preps, restriction digests and testing of E-coli constructs and is the Vice Chancellor of Enzyme stocks.

Megan
Donnelly

Create Team Member - Biomedical Engineering

Responsibilities have been the development of assembly protocols for our different construct designs and the coordination of the submission of parts to the IGEM registry alongside my teammate, Wes.

Damilola
Ologunagba

Create Team Member - Biomedical Engineering

Responsible for the Interlab Study, doing the transformations, plasmid preps, restriction cuts, and gels purifications. In the lab, since the G blocks we ordered arrived, we've TOPO cloned 2 gliadin degraders and 2 gliadin sponges, we've selected 8 Anderson promoters each representing different gene expression strengths because we don't know which promoter will work best, so we will try each one. Hopefully we will have 32 constructs for testing.

Andrew
Chacko

Head of Design Team - Biological Sciences

Responsible for understanding the problem, detailing three workable designs, ordering parts, and collaborating with Create team. Has performed literature reviews for all modules, determined best approach to problem, created Python notebooks detailing build, chosen Promoters, RBS and terminator used, diagramed designs on Visio, ordered gBlocks from IDT, incorporated testing parameters provided by the Create Team, determined best designs to pursue, designed workable gBlocks that allow for modularity, checked for illegal cut sites on the CDS, collaborated with University of Lethbridge to determine design overlaps and defined FASTA files.

Nicholas
Cooper

Design Team Member - Biomedical Engineering

Responsible for conducting literature search on zonulin, literature search on potential ways to get gliadin/zonulin receptor to membrane, literature search on kinetics of kumamax on gliadin and creating initial device in cell sketch for zonulin receptor cell, aiding in modeling gliadin degrader using PySB and in modeling receptors using PySB.

Alexander
Mangas

Design Team Member - Biomedical Engineering

Responsible for performing extensive literature review, developing a preliminary design for the Gliadin Degrader Cop Cell, creating predictive analytic models for the Gliadin Degrader Cop Cell and a comparative model combining the gliadin Degrader & Cuff Small Intestine Cop Cell using python in PySB, improving model functionality by incorporating Compartment-based modeling into a rule-based model in order to enable explicit definition of volume, and aiding in the development of empirical testing methods for experimentally determining the efficacy of cell constructs

Savannah
Shewan

Head of Human Practices Team - Biomedical Engineering

Responsible for organizing Human Practices efforts including community involvement, contacting participants (Celiac patients, Gastroenterologists, and members of the community), helping to compose the scripted Presentation for the iGEM Jamboree, organizing content for the final poster, and coding portions of the wiki, as well as, running final checks on questions, content, and graphics used as part of FSU’s iGEM project.

Ada
Del Cid

Human Practices Team Member - Biomedical Engineering

I have been responsible for researching on the feasibility of the project and reviewing relevant literature to our project. I have collaborated on the design and completion of our wiki and iGEM presentation, contacted companies, in efforts to raise funds, and Celiac Disease patients, to get an insider’s perspective of this disease.

Sterling
Strmel

Human Practices Team Member - International Affairs

Responsible for speaking with people with Celiac Disease, doctors and general public, helped develop Moonshot Night survey, integrating Human Practices into the project, designing graphics and slides for the Presentation, designing preliminary poster for the project and for Moonshot Night, and working on a video series collaboration-outreach effort with the University of Florida.

Harrison
Schwartz

Human Practices Team Member - Business

Responsible for developing a strategic fundraising plan for the FSU iGEM team, reaching out to companies nationwide and throughout the state of Florida as well as partnering with the CDF and local support groups for Celiac Disease and working all summer to find a sponsor or partnership for the team.

Erin
Smyth

Human Practices Team Member - Animation

Responsible for all of the drawings depicted in the presentation, poster, wiki, book, and t-shirts. While she wasn't able to be a dedicated worker throughout the summer and unfortunately is not able to come to the Jamboree, she was able to make all the animations and drawings in only two weeks!
