Lab

Dr. Christopher Reisch
Assistant Professor, Microbiology & Cell Science

We would like to thank Dr. Reisch for his continuous support of the UF iGEM team and for providing us lab space to carry out our experiments. We would also like to thank him for his mentorship and regular presence in team meetings in the beginning stages of our project. He provided us with the necessary materials to carry out experiments vital to our project, and provided guidance along the way. Thank you, Dr. Reisch!

Dr. Anne Donnelly
Director of Center for Undergraduate Research

Dr. Donnelly played a huge role in helping fundraise and maneuvering through iGEM. She helped us navigate the important aspects of iGEM, recruit team members and diversify the team before getting started on the project.

Layla Schuster
Ph.D. Candidate

Layla played a crucial role in the wet lab component of our project by helping the wet lab team carry out their experiments. We would like to thank her for her guidance and support in the lab as well as communicating with the team outside of the lab for further analysis of our results. Thank you, Layla!

Jithran Ekanayake
Ph.D. Student

UF iGEM would like to say a big thank you to Jithran, a current Ph.D. student in the SYBORGS lab at UF. Our project would have never worked if it wasn’t for Jithran's patience, passion, and willingness to teach out members this year on design, wet lab collaborations, and overall understanding of tinkering with synthetic biology! We are very thankful for all your help!
