<p>Amrinder is a high school student in Grade 12 taking the IB diploma programme. His previous experience with biochemistry was with Lethbridge High School iGEM. In High School iGEM, he was primarily involved with designing the wiki, but did perform some lab work.  This time in iGEM, he is involved with wiki design. In his free time, he likes to explore new concepts in web design, web development and programming.</p>

<p>Dr. Gerlinde Metz investigates the influence of experience and environment on behaviour and brain plasticity. Her work was the first to show that stress affects motor system function and diseases of the motor system, such as Parkinson’s disease and stroke. This research indicated that adverse experience at any time in life can become a predisposing or precipitating factor of disease. More recently, her laboratory has developed a rat model of transgenerational prenatal stress. This model allows the study of transgenerational inheritance of health and disease and epigenetic linkages from early development to old age. Her contribution to Synbiologica will include work in animal models of disease and physiological manipulations and assays, and related behavioural studies.</p>

The Team

About Us

The Lethbridge Entrepreneurial iGEM team members have vast experience in previous iGEM competitions. In this last year alone, Isaac Ward, Erin Kelly and Mackenzie Coatham acted as advisors for the Lethbridge High School iGEM team. The High School team engineered E. coli to produce the peptide hormone Oxytocin and its precursor protein. They were extremely successful, winning Best New Biobrick - Natural, Best Wiki and the First Place Green Brick at the High School Jamboree.

Harland Brandon is an advisor to the Lethbridge Collegiate iGEM team, who have also been quite successful this year. At the North American Regional Jamboree in Toronto, Lethbridge Collegiate won Best Wiki and First Place in the overgraduate division.

All members also have experience in research labs outside of iGEM, in both neuroscience and biochemistry labs.

The Team

The Advisors

Isaac Ward – CEO of Synbiologica

Isaac Ward's Photo

Isaac comes to the Synbiologica team with a diverse background of experience along with a keen enthusiasm for science and innovation. His strengths come from formal scientific training in neuroscience and having participated in the iGEM competition for 2 years. Isaac also brings great leadership to the group, developed through scientific and former experience as a community coach.

Erin Kelly – COO of Synbiologica

Erin Kelly's Photo

Erin’s commitment to interdisciplinary academic excellence and her value of hard work make her an excellent addition to Synbiologica. She had been doing research in biochemistry laboratories before entering university, including participating on the Lethbridge High School iGEM Team. Erin is a motivated team player and a strong administrative leader having organizing multiple high school science programs.

Mackenzie Coatham B.Sc. – coCSO of Synbiologica

Mackenzie’s academic excellence and aptitude for valour make her an excellent attribute to the Synbiologica team. In addition, she displays excellent application skills mixed with a creative mind and a sense of dedication. Experience with teaching and leadership in a team environment make Mackenzie a perfect fit for being one of the two chief science officers.

Harland Brandon B.Sc. – coCSO of Synbiologica

Harland Brandon's Photo

Harland brings a creative attitude to development and problem solving, along with a strong backing in biochemistry and molecular biology. Having participated in the iGEM competition for the past 3 years along with working in a research lab at the university during his undergrad he has developed skills for researching, troubleshooting, and multitasking in laboratory work.

Amrinder Grewal

Amrinder is a high school student in Grade 12 taking the IB diploma programme. His previous experience with biochemistry was with Lethbridge High School iGEM. In High School iGEM, he was primarily involved with designing the wiki, but did perform some lab work. This time in iGEM, he is involved with wiki design. In his free time, he likes to explore new concepts in web design, web development and programming.

Dr. Gerlinde Metz

Dr. Gerlinde Metz's Photo

Dr. Gerlinde Metz investigates the influence of experience and environment on behaviour and brain plasticity. Her work was the first to show that stress affects motor system function and diseases of the motor system, such as Parkinson’s disease and stroke. This research indicated that adverse experience at any time in life can become a predisposing or precipitating factor of disease. More recently, her laboratory has developed a rat model of transgenerational prenatal stress. This model allows the study of transgenerational inheritance of health and disease and epigenetic linkages from early development to old age. Her contribution to Synbiologica will include work in animal models of disease and physiological manipulations and assays, and related behavioural studies.

Dr. Hans- Joachim Wieden
