Overall

Dr Christopher Marquis

PI

Chris has supported, mentored and encouraged our team throughout the past year. Among other things, we are especially grateful for his help in adapting methodologies to suit our needs, the troubleshooting help he has provided and his experienced guidance for both the wet lab and dry lab components. We would also like to thank him for the work he has done over the past year in securing resources and space for us to use, and for kindly allowing us to use his equipment.

Dr Dominic Glover

Secondary PI

Dominic has also supported, mentored and encouraged our team over the year. We are particularly grateful for his help in suggesting and expressing prefoldin and letting us borrow Daniel, his lab equipment and reagents. We also appreciate him sharing his area of research (prefoldin) with our team, and the many hours he spent with our team to troubleshoot our experiments.

Jessica Mazalo

Mentor

Jess attended weekly project meetings throughout the year, and provided general feedback and advice on project direction, as well as suggestions for troubleshooting. She assisted the team with lab experiments, particularly DNA cloning, testing protein expression, and the plant growth assays. Jess also played a role in developing the project design elements and gave feedback on our presentation style.

Lab

Abbas

For helping us run the HPLC machine on our samples

Django Nathan

For his assistance with cloning.

Hélène Lebhar

For assistance with protein expression and performing Size Exclusion Chromatography for us.

Julie Dechorgnat

For sending us Arabidopsis thaliana seeds and answering our questions on the best practices of growing plants in the lab.

Lotte von Richter

Quoc Thong Le Gia

For his assistance in transferring the theoretical model to computational software.

Warren King

For his advice on considerations to be had creating models, offering solutions to anticipated problems.

William Mclean

Human Practices

Alexandra George

We would like to thank Alexandra for her help deciphering the underpinnings of Australian intellectual property law.

Brad Walsh

For his guidance on commercialising our scaffold in the Australian market.

Carl Stubbings

For sitting on a panel at our symposium, to which he brought insightful ideas about business considerations in synthetic biology ethics.

Hugh Goold

For sitting on a panel at our symposium, and discussing the scientific relevance of ethical considerations in synthetic biology.

Lan Le

We would like to thank Lan for helping us discover all the regulations to which research at the University of New South Wales is subject, and the safeguards put in place.

Matthew Kearnes

For sitting on a panel at our symposium, and discussing the social considerations to be made in the ethics of synthetic biology.

Nicolas Rasmussen

For inviting us to present to his Environmental Humanities students, and practice our presentation skills

For his suggestions on the application of our scaffold in drug synthesis.

Roseville College

For visiting our university and allowing us to test our educational package on their year 11 biology students.

Sponsors

We'd also like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous donations. Without all of the funding we have received, our project would not have been able to get to the stage it is at now.
