Name: Quentin Naudin
Role: Team Leader
School: Sup'Biotech
Zodiac sign: Capricorn
Why iGEM: Hi! I am Quentin. I joined our iGEM team because I wanted to participate in the development of a brand new project considering all the different aspects : Scientific research, collaborations, fundraising, partnerships, communication and the fact that we are developing an innovative idea in response to current world issues. (I wasn’t disappointed and I learned a lot thanks to this experience)
Best memory: One of my best memories of our adventure is when a random guy went to us (the lab team in our lab) and asked us about how he should manipulate an extreme venomous mollusque that he has at home ! Quite surprising.

Name: Julian Leduc

Zodiac sign: Scorpio
Why iGEM: I chose to participate in the iGEM competition to challenge myself, taking part in an innovative project during my studies. I was also really interested in the international aspect of the competition, confirming how science and knowledge is important globally.

Zodiac sign: Libra
Why iGEM: I joined the team to have a first experience with people who work in the biology field and discover their skills and what can be done.
Best memory: It was the occasion to make good memories, like one day when we were selling pastabox to finance our project
and Quentin's girlfriend set fire to a pan in the kitchen by just putting olive oil in it, it was very funny.
Name: Benjamin Decreusefond
Role: Wiki
School: EPITA
Zodiac sign: Libra
Why iGEM: Computer lover since my childhood, iGEM is a unique opportunity for me to discover synthetic biology, a field that I always wished to mix up with computers. I'm happy to be part of the iGEM team and the iGEM project which will improve our daily lives.
Best memory: One of my favorite memories is when I met all the team members and had an amazing moment in shopping mall with them
Name: Viktoriia Ovchinnikova
Role: Sponsorship
School: Sup'Biotech
Zodiac sign: Scorpio
Why iGEM: I joined iGEM with the ambition to develop a great project and have great interaction with people, and I can say that it was fulfilled.
IGEM for me is an opportunity to develop my research skills, project management and a chance to productively communicate with others.
Best memory: My great memory is out first day cooking crêpes for a sale, when the machine wasn’t working but we found the solution, cooked them in the residence and managed to gain some money anyway! Crêpes and money is always good
Name: Arrya Jayasundara
Role: Human practices
School: Sup'Biotech
Zodiac sign: Virgo
Why iGEM: When it comes to synthetic biology, I’ve always been fascinated by the endless possibilities of it so when I heard about iGEM it was a no brainer for me to apply. So far, I would say that this has been a great experience and that it really boosted my enthusiasm for the field of synthetic biology.
Best memory: I’d say my best memories are making liters & liters of crepe batter and baking cakes for the team members on their birthdays.
