Laina

Laina.jpg

Laina P. Magaya undergraduate Biology Major at Prairie View A&M University.Currently working on Microbial biotechnolgy applied to the environment at Prairie View A&M University under the Principal Inevstigator Dr R. Cuero. I have also worked in another project where I learnt microbiology techniques determing the effects of arabinose and glucose on growth of E. coli to determine the expression of ulcer causing agents in Helicobacter pylori at Texas Woman's University. These experiences will nake me suitable candidate for the synthetic biology project with the Prairie View 2006 iGEM team.

Lesli

Leslie Pic.jpg

Lesli Caulfield undergraduate Chemical Engineering senior at Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, TX. I have carried out research in Biosensors and Cell Adhesion at the University of Oklahoma ( summer of 2003, under Dr. David Schmidtke). I have done research in Characterization of Chiral Sulfoxidation by HRP at the University of Kansas REU (CEBC, summer 20005, under Dr. Aaron Scurto). Currently, I am working on Solid State and Submerged Fermentation Systems at Prairie View A&M-CEBC under Dr. Michael Gyamerah with four of my peers. As one can see, I have a diverse and unique research background. I am interested in Dr. Cuero’s research because it will allow me to not only enhance my research opportunities a bit further, but it will allow the creative side of me to be nurtured and encouraged. Being that he is one of the elite researchers’, I know I will learn a lot and excel in the iGEM team.

Christian

Chris2.jpg

My name is Christian Cruz, I am a graduate student of chemical engineering at Prairie View A&M university. I have been working with Dr. Raul Cuero for the last two years,carrying out experiments related to electrochemistry and now using molecular biology techniques. Now with iGEM 2006 I see a chance for myself to put in practice all of my engineering knowledge and molecular experiences.


Oludayo

Olu is a Senior Biology Major and the SGA president of Prairie View A&M.

Fredrick

Fred.jpg

My name is Fredrick, a Senior Architecture student at Prairie View A & M University. I had the opportunity to travel overseas and apply all that I've learned at Prairie View. It broaden my views in pursuing other avenues that complimented architecture. I'm looking forward to getting opportunity to venture off after finishing college.
