Attributions

We have accomplished an enormous endeavor by creating a bio-electronics platform, which would have been impossible without the many people who have helped us along the way. The members of our team worked tirelessly to make our common dream a reality, and we are all very grateful for this opportunity

We would like to thank people in extrenal organisations who helped us in donating or lending us resources.

  • Joshua Lawrence for sending us genetic constructs for electrochemical induction.
  • Caroline Peron-Cane from the Micalis Institute for sharing B. subtilis strains and plasmids.
  • Vincent Noel ffrom UFR Chimie for lending us a commercial potentiostat.

For the collaboration and partnership projects we would like to thank people who allowed to extend our impact.

  • Valerie Lerouyer from the Cite des Sciences for coordinating our Fete de la Science event.
  • Maria Savino, Kristie Najir and Dominik Zahr from Beckmann Coulter for the training sessions of the partnership.

Team Atribution

Michael Sedbon
worked on the project conceptualisation. He participated in the design and cloning of the library of parts for the electrogenetics toolkit collection. He designed built and developed the hardware and software of the project. He worked on the screening of membrane potential inducible promoters in E. coli. He participated in the characterisation of the Output plasmids. He did the Wiki page development.
Lou Destouches
worked on the project conceptualization. They worked on the characterisation of the Input constructs (this involves the induction of gene expression through setting a difference of electrical potential). They characterized the potentiostat hardware.
Florence Heng and Yves Loiseau-Marchand
produced (designed and cloned) a library of parts of our electrogenetics toolkit collection. They also worked on the characaterisation of multiple constructs that they transformed in multiple vectors. Yves organised the Fete de la Science event with the other Parisian iGEM teams. They both also participated in the collaboration projects.
Vincent Accion
worked on the accounting and general team management, and on the characterisation of the Output Plasmids.
Timothee Leblond
participated in the partnership and some designs for the wiki.
Daria Fedorova
worked on the project definition and organisation.
Taylor Rayne
worked on the transformation of B. subtilis.
Daria Fedorova
worked on the project definition and organisation.
Polina Rapoport
did an animation for our Promotion video, and some Human Practice.
Dounia Zedira
did an interview for Human Practice.
