Our Wet Lab team was led by Solène Galpy, and was composed of Chloé Bonef, Axelle Dieumegard and Martin Pezous. Together, they organized the experiments that had to be done, planned for the next steps, and brainstormed on how to improve our results when things didn't go as planned. For most of them, it was their first team working independently in a lab, so they learned together as they went, and quickly gained new skills and knowledge.

Our Dry Lab team leader was Martin Pezous. He worked closely with Alexandre Trubert, Louis Comte, Baptiste Collin and Danyil Bazain. They had different roles in the Dry Lab team. As majors in Biotech, Martin and Alexandre worked a lot on choosing our sequences and optimizing them. Louis, a bio-robotic major, was in charge of creating our 3-D printed-prototype. Finally, Baptiste and Danyil created and designed our wiki.

Our Human Practices leader was Chloé Bonef, and was completed by Solène Galpy and Axelle Dieumegard. They were the ones who set up our different interviews and contacted everyone needed for our various Human Practices.

The communication and collaboration was composed of Chloé Bonef and Solène Galpy. They handled all of our social media accounts, and responded to all of our collaboration requests. They organized our meetings with other teams to talk about potential collaborations and partnerships.

Axelle Dieumegard handled most of the financing and sponsorship opportunities, however all team members reached out to their connections to find potential partners. Axelle was in charge of contacting the official sponsors of the competition, as well as non-official ones in order to secure sponsorships.

Our Personal Instructor is Thomas Lemmonier. He is a teacher at Sup'Biotech and a researcher at CellTechs in the CEA. He accompanied us throughout our project and answered our questions to help us go on.

Our main advisor is Ambre Leleu, who is also a teacher at Sup'Biotech and a researcher at CellTechs in the CEA. She was a member of the iGEM IONIS team in 2019, so she had previous advice to give us following this experience.

Some members from the 2021 iGEM IONIS team also advised us throughout our projects: Quentin Naudin, Julian Leduc, and Marie Guillaume. Their previous experience as iGEMers was a great source of help, and they were eager to give us tips and tricks on how to advance with the iGEM competition.

Finally, Matthieu Da Costa was a great help and accompanied us through every aspect of the project. He is a Researcher in Biochemistry (Enzyme engineering) at Abolis, and is the founder of the iGEM IONIS association, back when our team participated in iGEM for the first time in 2015!
