Team:Edinburgh UG/Team

Hey I'm Charlie and I've just finished 2nd year of biological sciences, either specialising in development, regeneration & stem cells or biochemistry. For our project I have been in the lab testing methods for producing maxicells and I look forward to making it work sometime! I play quidditch (apparently it's a real sport?) and I spend most of the rest of my free time cooking. Another fun fact is I sneeze when the sun is too bright and in this photo I'm trying really hard not to.

Greetings, I'm Freddie a 5th year Informatics student. My main interests are in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and hence I've been focusing on the design and mathematical modelling of our killswitch. Outside the lab (I maintain a computer lab is still a lab), I enjoy playing chess and when the Scottish winter allows going Nordic Skiing. Aside from these relatively pedestrian facts I also have a tragic tendancy to have my eyes closed in photos.

Hi Friends I'm Eva of House Steele, First of my Name, the often unknowingly bruised, The Vice captain of EUWAFC 2s and EU Women's Futsal Team, Member of the Great UG Edinburgh iGEM Team, consistent breaker of my bike chain, and Mother of many Plants. I'm heading into 4th year of my degree in BIological sciences, specialising in Plant Science. I like football a lot and play for the University women's team and a local club. I am working on the biosafety side of our project by attempting to put a block on horizontal gene transfer. Here's some controversial opinions: 1- Bobby is the real MVP in Queer Eye, culture and food guy are only there because they're hecking attractive; 2- Sergio Ramos deliberately injured Mo Salah in Champions League Final; 3- The orange and yellow sweets are the best sweets. Things I know to be true: 1- Quokkas are the cutest marsupial; 2- Orchids are the awesomest angiosperms; 3- My Mum and Uncle Gary will like this post.

Hi everyone, I'm Ben. I'm no team elder or nothing, I'm just a fella. I like my beer cold and my jeans blue. I've just finished my third year studying biological sciences, and am looking forward to the next one. I've been involved in the interlab, and am now focusing on adding an alternative selection marker - triclosan resistance - into E. coli. So far I've really been enjoying the project; I've learned so much already, and we've really grown as a team. In my spare time I love watch gritty crime dramas. I've just finished rewatching the wire and am now making my way through the Sopranos. Most of all though I enjoy reading, mostly fantasy but with a little bit of everything else sprinkled in. I hope all of your projects are going well, and I look forward to seeing you all at the jamboree!

"Awright ya Bams! It's me Sam MacPherson-Grainger I'm a biologist studying stem cells and regeneration next year and I've done a wee bit o' bio-technology. On the team I'm the mascot and cheif morale officer (weather like Scotland makes that the most important job). In the lab myself and Tommy (you'll meet him later) will be making most of the genetic constructs for allowing Maxicell formation and for testing their metabolic timeframes. Also just doing all the thinking on the team. OOTside the lab I'm a fun lovin Guy with a passion for fassion. I love tea and recently aquired a cast iron teapot. nice! Lookin forward to the jamboree, I'll be the wan wearing a kilt! Gettin married to a wonderful on Sunday, wish me luck! Much Respects Sam"
