Hi my name Mahamad, from Penn iGEM.
Advisors
Brian Chow, Ph.D
Assistant Professor
Chow's laboratory aims to create technological innovations to enhance therapeutic interventions in CNS disorders, and to this end, focuses on engineering tools to elucidate, diagnose and treat the diseased brain. He was instrumental in the direction of the team, teaching us science, organization, and leadership.
Spencer Glantz
Bioengineering (PhD Student)
Spencer helped found the first iGEM team and has been lending us his deep knowledge and experience with synthetic biology ever since. He helped us every day and truly made this project possible.
Orkan Telhan, Ph.D
Assistant Professor
Interdisciplinary artist, designer, and researcher whose investigations focus on the design of interrogative objects, interfaces, and media, engaging with critical issues in social, cultural, and environmental responsibility. He greatly assisted the team with our efforts to properly communicate synthetic biology to the public.
Michael Magaraci
iGEM guru
Cloning Master. Diagram Master. He was a huge help.
Avin Veerakumar
