Spencer helped found the first iGEM team at the University of Pennsylvania 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.

Jordan Miller, Ph.D

Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at Rice

Jordan has been an advisor to Penn iGEM teams for the last three years. He has given us insightful scientific advice and words of wisdom, and he sends the best emails.

Avin "Shiii" Veerakumar

iGEM Guru

The Penn iGEM Godfather. He sent us great GIFs and drew a computer.

Michael Salvatore "Gumbaicci Margaricci" Magaraci

iGEM Guru

Cloning Master. Diagram Master. He was a huge help.



Nothing would be possible without these guys
