Students
This year the iGEM Montpellier team is composed of 5 Master’s students from the biological department of the “Faculté des Sciences de Montpellier”.
Christelle Jamous
Wet Lab, Human PracticesIf you are looking for Christelle, she is in the lab, wearing a labcoat, gloves at her hands doing PCR, protein purification in the cold chamber or gel electrophoresis. Reading a book and spending time at the beach with friends are her favorite hobbies.
Ali Kanso
Communication, Human PracticesCooking food for the team is not his only activity and he found that his skills could as well be used to successfully perform experiments in the lab and cook great scientific results. Moreover, Ali spent time in our office to canvas sponsors or to communicate about our project.
Nessim Louafi
Modeling, bio informaticNessim has a strong background in biology, biochemistry and developed knowledge in coding. This allows him to be comfortable in bioinformatic and modeling. He worked with Emilie as a team manager. When Nessim is not present in the lab, he is at his home listening to music and playing Rubik’s Cube.
Hye-Rin An
Wet Lab, Bio InformaticTraveler Hye-Rin shares her time between Cyprus or other beautiful places and the lab where she is involved in the lab experiments and the bioinformatic part of the project. Her knowledge in biochemistry was a solid help. At home, Hye-Rin loves spending her time in front of Netflix.
Emilie Costes
Human Practices, Wiki, EntrepreneurshipWhen Emilie is not wearing a running or biking outfit, she is present in the lab to manage the team with Nessim. For this iGEM experience she gave up her lab coat to focus on human practices, education, communication and administrative tasks. She also spent a lot of time working on the wiki.
Principal Instructors
Jerôme Bonnet
Researcher at the “Centre de Biologie Structurale”.Jérôme monitors the administrative iGEM requirements.
Guillaume Cambray
Researcher at the “Centre de Biologie Structurale”.He is working on molecular biology. He has interesting advice in all the molecular biology aspects of the project.
Diego Cattoni
Researcher at the “Centre de Biologie Structurale”.Diego is always present to monitor our manipulations. Moreover, he participates in the fundraising with us.
Luca Ciandrini
Lecturer at the Faculté des Sciences de Montpellier.Luca is always available to help us in the modeling part and in the relation with the Faculty.
Christine Doucet
Researcher at the “Centre de Biologie Structurale”.She is working in the “Integrative Biophysics of Membranes team”. She helped us in the general organization of the project.
