<font color=silver>Anthony Lott is in his 3rd year of undergraduate studies of Physiology at the University of Alberta. Although this is his first year with iGEM, Anthony brings a diverse (and not necessarily practical) array of laboratory experiences to the table. His past research projects include: mate-choice preference of Cichlasoma nigrofasciatus (Hurd Lab, 2005), site-directed mutagenesis of GFP (Campbell Lab, 2006), micro-CT analysis of Gdf6 skeletal deformities (Lehmann/Doschak Lab, 2007), and pH-microenvironments associated with AE1 (Casey Lab, 2008). Anthony's interests include badminton, raving about speedminton, collecting dust and microbes on his unused Yamaha C2 grand piano, art and design, and one-upping his fellow teammates. He is also involved with organizing Frontier College and the Heart of the City Piano Program. Anthony is interested in pursuing a career in health-care.

[[Image:profile pic 1.jpg|left]]  '''<font color=white>David Lee Lancaster'''
 +
<font color=silver>David was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to some really awesome parents. Seriously. The best. He grew up around Calgary and graduated high school in a very small community outside of town called Crossfield. A four year break later, David returned to Calgary to earn his undergraduate degree in cellular, molecular, microbial biology. During his time at the University of Calgary, David worked under Dr. Douglas Storey investigating quorum sensing in Psuedomonas aeruginosa in relation to virulence.
 +
David moved north after his first degree to begin working under the direction of Dr. Richard Rachubinski. His project is focused upon prion behavior in budding yeast. Specifically the identification and characterization of novel prions in yeast, along with an investigation of possible cofactors in prion formation, progagation and regulation. With only a few years left in his PhD, David is having more fun than ever.
 +
David's interest in iGEM began with hearing about last years projects and a little bit of free time that he really wanted to occupy better than just playing a lot of video games.
