Team:Bordeaux/Team

We are IGEM Bordeaux 2018

Among the 56000 student-trees of the University of Bordeaux was living XX motivated and ambitious young-trees. All scattered into the green mass, they reunited on this day of November 2017 to learn more about the iGEM competition. Their wise predecessors told them the adventure they lived last year. Envious and dreamers, they decided to take up the challenge too. Our 15 trees come from different horizons, with different backgrounds and future perspectives but they are all reunited by the desire to expand their branches of knowledge. As the time passed, only the trees with very resistant roots survived to the “let it go” storm. After that our 15 young little trees were reunited to form a stronger gathering ready to start the competition.

Marguerite

The ginkgo

She is a first year Plant Biotechnology Masters student. This ancestral tree is very powerful. Indeed, she is both president of the team, and in charge of the Human practice pole. It is good to have a ginkgo around it brings many health benefits.

Estelle

The olive tree

She graduated of a Master in genetics. From the Southern of France, this mediterranean tree participates to the competition for the second time. After squeezing her fruits you obtain an intersting oil rich in laugh, travel and science fiction. It is him who sowed the seeds since 6 years now, and watch them to grow until the Jamboree.

Thomas

The Japenese Maple

He graduated this year of a Biotechnology Engineering School. Symbol of ideas communication, he is at the head of the partnerships and funding pole. He participates to the competition for the second time, therefore this tree is always here to give an attentive leaf to the needs of the team.

Yasmine

The fir

She graduated this year with a Bachelor in Molecular and Cellular Biology. She is our team leader and has to coordinate all the progresses from the different poles. In addition she is at the head of the thorny Scientific pole to organize and motivate the lab work. Her needles shelter someone who loves to escape the everyday grind by traveling or having deep readings.

Ines

The cherry tree

She is a first year bioinformatics Master student. In charge of the Communication pole, her aim is to make shining the team as much as her flowers in lovely day of spring.

Pierre

The stick insect

He is a first year Bioinformatics Masters student. Passionate about computing, he delved the topic until to perfectly match to it. Most of the time he hides behind a screen to code and build the wiki.

Lorine

The eucalyptus

She graduated this year with a Bachelor in Molecular and Cellular Biology. She is not from Australia but her determination is from the same size. She leads the wiki construction, et make sure everything is written on time. This tree needs a minimum of sun each day.

David

The oak

He graduated this year with a Bachelor in Molecular and Cellular Biology. His branches are active in the scientific pole. Caution, this tree is robust and cannot be grown inside.

François

The poplar

He graduated this year with a Bachelor degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology. This tree is tall such as his implication in the work lab for iGEM. A healthy mind in a healthy trunk is his motto.

Maëlle

The maple

She is in third year of Biotech Engineering School. She takes part of the iGEM lab experiments. Some other trees reported she regularly use 5mL propipette to share her mapple syrup.

Sandro

The weeping willow

He graduated this year with a Bachelor in Cells and Organisms Biology. Apparently he did not whimper to participate to the iGEM lab work, and he is not wailing neither during his working time.

Jean Clément

The pine

He graduated this year in Biology of Cells and Organisms. He grows straight up, like a rocket that wants to discover the world.

Frederic

The linden

He is a first year Bioinformatics Masters student. Curious about new technology he planned to build an algorithm to calculate the exact time needed for a perfect infusion.

Anaïs

The cocoa tree

She graduated with a Bachelor in Cells and Organisms Biology. Very coveted for her fruits. Well managed and processed you can extract from her a piece of heaven

Arthur

The pistachio

He graduated this year with a Bachelor in Molecular and Cellular Biology. His green ideas intermingle music, DIY, and computer science. All in one shell.

Sebastien

The catalpa

He is a first year Bioinformatics Master student. Hiding in the shadow, he is here to support the Bioinformatic team of Bordeaux. Ready to respond for any computing matters, his mind will always respond to the call of programming.
