Our Team
This year, the team is composed by students coming from a wide diversity of formations and levels:
biologists, chemists, physicists, computer engineers... and from different schools and universities:
Paris Sud University, ENS Cachan, IUT ...
Our Environment
We will manipulate this summer at the microbiology and genetic institute IGM at the Paris Sud University.
Students
Anaïs
First Year of undergraduate in chemistry
Damir
Second year hardcore master of Physics
"I discovered Synthetic Biology this year through the iGEM. And it's really great !"
Caroline
First year of high-level Master of Molecular Physical Chemistry
"I like the way IGEM gathers strudents from different formations. It is an amazing experience for me."
Eric
First year undergraduate of BCST
"I am passionate about SynBio and sciences. It is interesting to study the practical aplications of SynBio in living"
Jean-Rémy colard-Itté
First year of high-level Master of Molecular Physical chemistry
"I am a science lover, and I am expected a human and scientific experience"
Zhou
First year of master in bioinformatics and biostatistics
Xavier
First year of high-level Master of Molecular Physical chemistry
"I am passionate about all the fundamental sciences. And I am interested in it."
Gabriel Gallin

Advisors and Instructors
Solenne ITHURBIDE
Second year PhD- Institut de Génétique et Microbiologie
"I discovered the iGEM competition in 2011 and I immediately adhered to the concept, for the scientific aspect as well as the human one. I’m very happy to participate in the creation of this new team which I am sure will go far in the competition because of its motivation. I also would like to ensure the existence of this team for the coming years, as it seems essential to me that the University Paris-Saclay is represented in this competition."
Thao Nguyên LE LAM
Second year PhD- Institut de Génétique et Microbiologie
"I love biology, Nature and exploring life. Combining biology and technology to create products that can be useful for everybody is wonderful. Synthetic biology is exactly what I was looking for! With the Paris-Saclay team, I hope to be able to create freely, explore and conquer new scientific horizons."
Sylvie Lautru, Jean-Luc Pernodet and Philippe Bouloc are CNRS researchers at the Institut de Génétique et Microbiologie in the University Paris-Sud. They share a passion for microbiology. Their expertise covers a wide range of organisms, including the model bacterium Escherichia coli, the antibiotics producer Streptomyces and the pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus. Their experimental approaches are both global and mechanistic and their fields of interest are biotechnological and biomedical. They will manage the scientific supervision of the iGEM team Paris-Saclay 2013.
