Team:UCLouvain/Team
Adrien Gauchet :
Adrien is a master student in bioengineering in chemical and bio-industry. In his field, he loves everything about catalysis systems and chemical reactions. Then, he’s certainly our chemist (our own Heisenberg) and our glucose syrup master (show him some respect). Thanks to him we have had the opportunity to grow our bacteria on a homemade media. Adrien will also be our GO (literally “Gentil Organisateur” = Nice Organizer) for our trip to Boston. By the way, he’s the french one of the team but certainly the most belgian of all the french expatriates. He would certainly be the one to come at our team’s meeting a bit tipsy.
Adrien in one song ? Surely, “Quand l’appétit va, tout va !” (Astérix et Obélix, Mission Cléopâtre)
Alexandre Mattenet :
Alexandre is a master student in civil engineering in computer science. His task in the Team is the wiki support! He has an incredible sense of design. Listening and playing some music with nothing else than a GameBoy and drawing at any time, this guy does real ART. For him the answer will always be 42.
Alex in one song ? Surely, ‘Nyan Cat’ (Tosh 8.0)
Antoine Godeaux :
Aaaah, the God!! Antoine is a master student in biology, but he’s our god. When he speaks everyone listens. For every situation he will give you some wonderful punchlines such as “We all make mistakes” or “Trust no one”. He likes when everything is straight and right. The God has a lot of experience in biology and he has huge ambitions for his future. He’s the one that makes a Skype for an internship on the other side of the globe while making some experiments in the lab at the same time.
Antoine in one song? Surely, “Downtown” (Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis).
Patrice Soumillion is teaching biochemistry and enzymology at the Université catholique de Louvain. He is a specialist in the functioning and evolution of enzymes. His research team is part of the group of biochemistry, biophysics and genetics of microorganisms at the Life Sciences Institute. With his help and expertise, he follows us all along our scientific adventure and he gives us valuable advice.
Charles Hachez is teaching at the Faculty of Sciences of the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. He is specifically interested in the molecular genetic structure ruling the development of glandular trichomes tractable in the leaf epidermis of Nicotiana tabacum. He will accompany our team during the Giant Jamboree in Boston.
Bernard Hallet is also a professor at the Faculty of Sciences of the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. He conducts research on the molecular system that mediate specialized DNA rearrangements in bacteria. As Prof. Hachez and Prof. Soumillion, he has been an important actor in our project. Thanks to his support and knowledge, we are succeeding to develop BactaSun
