What we did
Dr. Andrew Mendelsohn graciously provided laboratory space and project guidance.
Pokie served as team leader and helped in project planning, cloning, performed all cell culture experiments, and created the team wiki and its contents.
Joshua Resa helped in project planning, cloning, and team fundraising.
Sean Allen helped in project planning, cloning, and team fundraising.
Simina Ticau helped in project planning and cloning.

Where we're from
Andrew Mendelsohn
Dr. Andrew Mendelsohn is an associate professor at Regenerative Sciences Institute and has sponsored a co-university iGEM team consisting of UC Berkeley and Stanford University students for the last two years. He goal is to expose young minds to cutting edge research in the fields of molecular and synthetic biology. He hopes that the iGEM team's project will serve as the springboard for research that will eventually translate into real world therapies. Through Dr. Mendelsohn's efforts, RSI also offers year round undergraduate programs to continue research off of promising iGEM projects.
Pokie
"We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge-and with good reason" - Nietzsche
In the pursuit of the truth we look towards ourselves. And each in our our own way, in our own time, on our terms, and some not at all - we shall end full circle - at the beginning of nothingness.
Ego sum veritas, veritas von liberat.
Science as my conduit to freedom, affords me the chance to give my ideas a corporeal existence. And therefore, allows me to be truly free.
Joshua Resa
Joshua is a senior at Stanford University, deviously working on a master plan that will enable him to stay in school forever. Hs is fascinated by the universe, by science, physics, chemistry, and biology (ignoring math, in order of the xkcd comic, you know the one). He wonders at the amazing intricacies of how stuff works and frustrated by what doesn't. He hopes to figure out the former and, with luck, fix what's broken. This project and IGEM in general have provided a wealth of experience and ideas, of problem solving and problem belly flops (you must imagine how that feels). It was a great experience.
Sean Allen
Simina Ticau
I'm currently a third year Bioengineering student at UC Berkeley. I'm interested in synthetic biology and am planning on going to graduate school after I graduate. This project was an amazing experience for me and has taught me a lot about a field I'm currently thinking of pursuing.
