William Rostain

In the beginning when god was creating the world, he was sitting on a cloud, telling his pal the Arch Angel Gabriel what he planned for Scotland.
" Gabby" says he "I'm going to give this place high majestic mountains, purple glens, soaring eagles, streams laden with salmon, golden fields of barley from which a whisky coloured nectar can be made, green, lush, spectacular golf courses, coal in the ground, oil under the sea,...gas".
" Hold up! Hold up!" Interjected the bold Gabriel " Are you not being too generous to these Scots ? "
Back came the Almighty's reply : " Not really, wait until you see the neighbours I'm giving them !!!

Cyrille Pauthenier

Cyrille participated the iGEM competition twice, in 2011 with Paris Bettencourt's team (Nanotube's project, semi-final finalist) and 2012 Evry team (French froggies project, Best Model and Best Human Practice in the semi-final) in which he helped funding with William Rostain and Tristan Cerisy. Chemist by training and alumni of the École Normale Supérieure he is currently doing a PhD thesis in metabolic engineering on yeast at Jean-Loup Faulon's group, in the institute of System and Synthetic Biology in France.

Tristan Cerisy

Support bacteria, it's the only culture some people have.

Pierre Parutto

Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.

Dr. Alfonso Jaramillo

After a PhD in theoretical physics, he was converted to synthetic biology for over 10 years. He gained international recognition in this field. He is now the team director of the Bio-Synth iSSB, working on the design, synthesis and characterization of biological regulatory artificial pathways. He is also one of the main teachers of the mSSB (synthetic and systematic biology master). Alfonso Jaramillo will be our main supervisor. He led Valencia iGEM team in 2006, and participated in the supervision of Valencia' and Paris' teams.

Dr. Andrew Tolonen

After a PhD in genetics and genomics of cyanobacteria at MIT and a post-doc in the team of George Church at Harvard, one of the largest synthetic biology laboratories in the world, he is now a researcher at Genoscope in Evry. His work focuses on the manufacture of biofuels by cyanobacteria. Andrew Tolonen attends the our team in the selection and construction of the project. He participated in the supervision of Harvard iGEM teams during his post-PhD.

Dr. Nicolas Pollet

After a PhD in developmental physiology at INSERM, he was a Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow at the German Cancer Research Institute in Heidelberg. He is now a CNRS senior scientist, head of the Metamorphosys group at iSSB working in genomics and systems biology using the Xenopus frog model. Nicolas Pollet will participate to IGEM as supervisor for the first time this year.
