We are a team composed of 11 students who come from different horizons. There are 4
engineering
students and 7 biology and biotechnology students. We are supervised by 3 advisors, and 3 supervisors, including 3 persons who have taken part in the previous iGEM editions.

Our City
The city of Grenoble
Grenoble is a beautiful and academic city, with an important scientific center. The
University of
Grenoble Alpes hosts more than 60 000 students in 30 divisions and 80 laboratories and proposes 400
diplomas. It is an institution that welcomes a large number of foreign students every year, more
than 9,000 in 2020. The university has more than 47% of international doctoral students. Thanks to
the strong presence of research centers, students at Grenoble Alpes university benefit from numerous
opportunities. Our city hosts one of the largest operating synchrotrons in the world. Moreover, it
has been nominated 6 times in the top 50 best universities in the world.
Because work is not everything, Grenoble is a student city that offers a sought-after
environmental
setting. We are surrounded by three massifs: the Chartreuse, Belledonne and the Vercors,
destinations well known by hiking, climbing, and skiing enthusiasts.
One of the emblems of Grenoble is what is called "les bulles", a cable car that links the Bastille,
a historical monument located 476 meters above sea level, to the Grenoble agglomeration. It is one
of the oldest urban cable cars in the world and runs all year round.
Strongly concerned about ecology, Grenoble will be the European Green Capital in 2022.
You have surely understood it, Grenoble is a lively, charming, pleasant, and colorful city thanks to
street art, where you can work and study.
Sara Salhi
Sara is one of our master’s degree students.
She's bubbly and always
in a great mood, she's in charge of the detection of E. coli Quorum
Sensing project, she has been also involved in various tasks
including the financing search.
Motivation: achievement of an ambitious project,
multidisciplinary adventure

brilliant, he knows how to put his skills to serve PyoBusters.
Motivation: meeting new people and living the iGEM
adventure
Mathieu Clavel
Mathieu is a hard worker who does not count his hours.
He is one of
the wet lab’s team and truly believes in this project.
He has been
living in Grenoble for 3 years for his studies and really likes to
laugh and play music during his free time. The pain of studying is only temporary. But the pain of
ignorance is forever.
Motivation: a real challenge for improve my skills
Iryna Moskalevska
Iryna is a master's student in biology. She is a determined,
curious, and resilient member of our team of biologists.
She is essential for the organization of our team, as she is the
treasurer of the group. As a biologist, iGEM represented an
opportunity to see other aspects and impacts of scientific research.
Motivation: scientific challenge
Mandy Leger
As a bachelor student in biotechnology, Mandy put her
conscientiousness into her role as the secretary of the group.
Straddling between biology and computer science, she touches all the
different sides of the project and is the link between engineers and
biologists.
Additionally to her biology background, Photoshop and
Sony Vegas Pro are her best friends. “Life will put stones in your path. It's up to you to decide
whether to make walls or bridges out of them.” - Someone
Motivation: interdisciplinary challenge, knowledge of the world
of research, putting my skills to good use
Mehdy Bert-Erboul
Mehdy is the youngest member of our wet lab, a judoka with an
original logic.
Invested and thoughtful, he takes part in laboratory
experiments on a daily basis.
He loves learning how all kind of things work and looking for
solutions to random problems.
Motivation: multidisciplinary challenge and team spirit
Noémie Garnier
Noémie is a bachelor student in biotechnology for health and part of
our wet lab.
Dynamic and conscientious, she is in charge of the realization of
our therapeutic molecules project. She is also in charge of
communication.
Motivation iGEM : for meetings and interdisciplinary work
Hugo Techer
Hugo is part of the dry lab and the event pole.
He is friendly,
energetic, and loves chattering with everyone.
He participates in the design of the test bench.
Motivation iGEM : to make my own path through the world of
research
Mattis Beilleau
Mattis is part of the dry lab, he is calm, passionate, and
thoughtful.
He participates in the design of the testing bench more
particularly of the physical setting.
Motivation: team working, multidisciplinary project
Sébastien Rigollet
Sebastien studies biomedical engineering and spends hours on a bike
or climbing rocks to have a fresh mind during the long days of work
on the project.
He is responsible and meticulous, he actively
participates in the design of our test bench and more particularly
in the fluorescence system. “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you
don’t, you’ll find excuses.” - Jim Rohn
Motivation iGEM : Building a device in relation with the medical
field and working in a multidisciplinary environment
Florian Laffont
Studying computer science and embedded electronics, he is our Wiki
Master.
He spends more time in front of his computer than he does in bed,
whether it is working or gaming! “I know just enough, to know I know nothing” - Someone
Motivation iGEM : working on a completely different field, make a
good use of the skills I learned
Clément Caffaratti
Member of the 2017 iGEM Grenoble-Alpes team; Advisor to the 2018 and 2019 iGEM
Grenoble-Alpes teams.
Currently in 1st year of thesis in the field of metabolic
engineering of probiotics for therapeutic purposes.
iGEM: A great adventure to develop multidisciplinary skills and
practice science without limits.
I hope that each member of the team will emerge from this experience
with a new perspective, an even more developed desire and
extraordinary memories.
Charles Jabour
Student engineer of the 2018 iGEM Grenoble-Alpes team.
Currently in my second year of doctorate, I am looking to see the
heart through the heart of the eye. To be clearer, I am using image
and data processing tools to measure coronary resistance from images
of the fundus of the eye.
iGEM has been my launching pad for research, and I hope that this
year's participants come out of this experience as fulfilled and
curious as I have been.
Pierre Bouvet
Member of the 2019 iGEM Grenoble team (project Neurodrop: gold medal
and 3 nominations), passionate about physics, Pierre Bouvet advises
this year the 2020 iGEM team.
Doing an internship in Biophysics, he’s working to develop a new
type of microscope able to image the mechanical properties of
biological samples.
Pierre Cavailles
Associate professor in cellular and molecular biology - Responsible
for the Bachelor’s degree “Biotechnologies for Health” - Co-lead of
research team “Natural Barriers and infectiosity”
Let’s go for a new iGEM adventure. Every year the iGEM competition
is a very enriching experience from a scientific and human point of
view, so iGEM Grenoble 2020 is a new human experience and a new
innovative project with the hope of promising results at the end of
the adventure.
"The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Peter
Drucker
Claire Durmort
Because, as François de Closet said “there is no good pedagogy that
doesn’t start by arousing the desire to learn”, I started to provide
support for Grenoble’s iGEM teams. My most profound desire is to
“Carry in me and with me this understanding that makes other’s
thoughts bloom” - Joseph Joubert
Audrey Le Gouellec
My motto is “do what you love, love what you do”. I love getting out
of my comfort zone and taking risks to explore the world and meet
other people.
I grow upon differences because "In being different to
me, you are not doing me harm, brother, but enriching me! “
