Meet the iGEM 2023 Sorbonne team
President of our Igem team by day and Jaguar by night, Valentin knows how to lead our group with a firm hand. He can handle anyone and was able to deal with all the difficult situations we faced. Our president was our guideline and was involved in all aspects of the project. A true scientific lantern, we always refer to him in case of doubt. But make no mistake, Valentin knows how to take the pressure off. By the way, he is a very good dancer.
Baptiste is one of the most enthusiastic people of our team, when he learns something new, he always thinks about tons of possible applications or development of his new knowledge, which sometimes lead to unexpected (and not so crazy) ideas ! He is really cool and motivated, and has but one weakness: adding salt to his meals
Theaud, our esteemed leader of the biology division, has been a tremendous asset to our team, offering invaluable assistance in both experimental work and the modeling division. What truly distinguishes Theaud is not just his determination but also his unwavering motivation, as vibrant as a beacon, and his unwavering focus, which plays a crucial role in helping us achieve our goals.
Luna is a Parisian it girl with a twist; she’s chic, can always be found at a terrace, and also profoundly loves biotech. Her passion for the natural sciences shines through her effortless translation of the science behind our project to our digital audience (while keeping things aesthetically pleasing and trendy 😉 ). Always charismatic and energetic, Luna is an essential member of our team. It’s a real privilege to call her a friend!!
Anastasia is an essential member of our team, particularly in her role as a driving force within the Human Practices division. she infuses our group with a strong work ethic and unwavering determination, consistently propelling our projects forward. Her proficiency in design significantly shapes our work, and many of our design achievements can be attributed to her creative input.
Chloé is a uniquely discreet yet vibrant addition to our team. Her quiet confidence is a valuable asset, balancing the dynamics of our group. She effortlessly fosters a sense of togetherness, contributing to our team spirit. Chloé's ability to create a harmonious atmosphere is a testament to her exceptional people skills.
Meet Konstantin, our elusive Vice President of iGEM. Despite his knack for disappearing act, he's the man with a plan when it comes to mastering the complexities of biophysics. Hailing from Russia, Konstantin brings an adventurous spirit to our team; he's not just scaling the academic heights, but he's also quite the climbing enthusiast. Just remember, if you ever need to find him, check the nearest climbing wall!
Mariame is our vibrant Moroccan team member who brings boundless energy to our iGEM project. Her clumsiness is nothing short of endearing and often leaves us in fits of laughter. When she's not busy with iGEM, you'll likely find her busting out TikTok dance moves that never fail to brighten our day. Her unique charm and enthusiasm are a true asset to our team!
Stefan adds to the multinational and multicultural profile of our team. Starting from an undergraduate with chemistry, Stefan followed into the biological sciences. Precisely because of the interdisciplinary nature of the iGEM competition, he joined our team. Stef is the tallest member of our team, however he does not look down on us, probably because he is also one of the youngest 🙂 Overall, with his love for sports, unconventional degree and his undieing enthusiasm, Stefan is a valued member of our team.
