Carla Castignani
BSc in Human Biology and MSc in Bioinformatics
I am interested in genomes, botany and bacteria. Three things I’m obsessed about recently: bees, climate change and obstacle races. I am a “handywoman”, the one that can build anything out of anything. During my free time I like to watch films, go to art exhibitions and to sew. But who are we kidding, no one in iGEM really has free time.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
Gillyweed: A plant that makes the consumer able to breathe underwater
Dimitrije Ivančić
BSc in Human Biology and MSc of Multidisciplinary Research in Experimental Sciences
I play records, climb mountains and edit genomes. I believe directed evolution is a powerful tool for biological design. When I grow up I would like to work at the Tyrell Corporation.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
Is there any team working on a synthetic bacteria to avoid hangover? If so, can you get in touch with me?
Guillem Lopez-Grado
BSc in Human Biology
I am somewhat of a single-cell wetlab being, trying to get into computational approaches, going back to the first real (kind of) steps I took in science. I try to always move forward and try new things, such as getting into photography, or global movements. I devote my non-lab time to rugby, Lightroom and the outdoors.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
The way things are going in our world, it has to be plastic-degrading bacteria.
Jordi Pla
BSc in Biomedical Engineering
I am interested on mathematical modelling of biological processes and emergence theory. Most of the time I am automating useless processes or transforming ideas and caffeine into algorithms and sarcasm. I hope to finish this project without creating a Dalek by mistake.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
An ex novo engineered organism.
Óscar Rodríguez
BSc in Biomedical Engineering
The concept of a Biomedical Engineer defines me very well. I am interested in many fields, but my passion is to apply mathematical models in the field of biology and neuroscience. I am a very active person, so I firmly believe that sleeping is greatly overrated. I prefer to spend my time reading, enjoying with friends or simply wandering in superfluous thoughts.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
An organism against baldness.
Laura Sans
BSc in Human Biology
I am interested in bioinformatics, structural biology and proteomics, you should see how cool it is to play with proteins and sequences. I'm a doer, from writing algorithms to watching Netflix all night. When I'm not in the lab I like to do things such as travel, design stuff, play with my dogs or go to the lab. I always carry a camera with me.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
A Nutella-producer bacteria.
Oriol Solà
BSc in Human Biology and BSc in Mathematics
I like to study biology from a more theoretical point of view. I am really interested in systems biology and math modelling. I am a non-conformist always willing to learn and discover new things. In my free time I like to sneak out the city to explore nature, I am addicted to extreme sports.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
An electrical charger plant.
Marta Vilademunt
BSc in Human Biology
I am deeply interested in Neuroscience as I found fascinating the understanding of the brain. I am a very active person, who loves planning and having always a busy schedule. The few moments I have time for myself I love spending it cooking, reading, travelling, sporting and being surrounded by nature.
Which is your dreamed GMO?
A neuro-bacteria able to diminish stress.
Eva González
Phd in Synthetic Biology for Biomedical Applications
I am a Biomedical Engineer with a master’s in biomedical research pursuing a PhD. My thesis aims to combine Synthetic Biology and engineering approaches for biomedical applications. My daily routine consists on designing genetic circuits, analyzing them with mathematical models and building them in bacterial cells.
Avencia Sanchez-Mejías
Senior Scientist in Translational Synthetic Biology Lab
I did my PhD in human genetics and I have worked in understanding the molecular hallmarks of cancer regulation during two postdoctoral fellowships in USA and Singapore. Currently, I am a senior scientist at Dr. Güell’s lab. I am working in the development of new gene editing and gene delivery strategies for therapeutical purposes, contributing to the implementation of advanced synthetic biology tools for treating human diseases.
Sergi Aranda
Senior Scientist in Epigenetic Events on Cancer
My scientific aim, to unravel the molecular mechanisms that establish and sustain cellular memories. On the way, my research focuses on understanding the biological rules that dictate cell fate in mammalian development and human disease. The goal, to engineer toolboxes for the control of cell states and fate commitment. How do I do? Working together with a fantastic group of people at the Center for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona as Staff Scientist.
Marc Güell
PI of Translational Synthetic Biology Lab
I am a tenure track professor at Pompeu Fabra University. My laboratory is focused in leveraging new gene editing technologies for therapeutic purposes. Our two main lines of research are mammalian genome engineering and microbiome engineering.
