William Rostain

PhD Student in Alfonso Jaramillo's group, iSSB

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

Cyrille Pauthenier

PhD Student in Jean-Loup Faulon's group, iSSB, École Normale Supérieure alumni

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 founding 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

Tristan Cerisy

Master SSB (2012), Université d'Evry
PhD student, Genoscope, Université d'Evry

After my bachelor in Bioinformatics, I did the Master Systems and Synthetic Biology at the University of Evry. During the master, William and I decided to create the iGEM Evry team in November 2011, quickly joined by Cyrille. One year after the iGEM Evry team (with 15 people) got 2 prices in Amsterdam (Best Model and Best Human Practices Advance) and was qualified for the final in Boston! Now I am beginning a PhD in environmental systems biology. I study the degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose by Clostridium phytofermentans in the French Sequencing Center under the supervision of Andrew Tolonen.

Instructors

Alfonso

Dr. Alfonso Jaramillo

Group leader of the Synth-Bio team at iSSB
Contact

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.

Andrew

Dr. Andrew Tolonen

Group leader Tolonen group at Genoscope
Contact

Andy has a PhD in microbial genomics from MIT and did his post-doc in George Church's at Harvard, one of the largest synthetic biology laboratories in the world. He is now a researcher at Genoscope in Evry where he studies how microbes interact with their environment to influence global carbon cycling. Andrew Tolonen assists the team in the design and implementation of the project.

nicolas

Dr. Nicolas Pollet

Group leader of the Metamorphosis team at iSSB
Contact

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 Evry team supervisor for the second time this year.
