This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have a team description page, a project abstract, a complete project description, and a lab notebook. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your Team:Example namespace.



You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Tell us more about your project. Give us background. Use this is the abstract of your project. Be descriptive but concise (1-2 paragraphs)

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.
