Corrina is a 3rd year DPhil student on the Interdisciplinary Bioscience DTP. She is working in the group of Prof Lee Sweetlove, using computational modelling to investigate how we can make plants retain more of the carbon that they fix throughout the day. Outside of the lab and greenhouse she enjoys arts and crafts.

Scott is a second year DPhil student on the DTP Interdisciplinary Bioscience program. He is based in the Department of Engineering Science and supervised by Antonis Papachristodoulou and Harrison Steel. He is working on using mathematical modelling to inform design and construction of RNA-based genetic circuits.

MBiol University of Oxford @ Poole Lab, PlantSci. Co-Founder & CSO of CyanoCapture. Embarking on a career in Synthetic Biology, aiming to be both the Artist and the Engineer, to make solutions for the Green Economy and Beyond Earth.

Megan is a third year Biochemistry student at St Anne's College. She is interested in using synthetic genomics, genetic circuits and control theory to better understand genetics and cell function. Outside of synthetic biology, she enjoys running and playing the guitar.

Jia Jhing is a third year student studying Biomedical Sciences at Trinity College. Her interests lie in the medical applications of Synthetic Biology and is excited to explore how synthetic biology is accelerating the field of therapeutics and diagnostics. Outside of studies, she loves all things to do with food and sunshine!

Miro is a third-year student of DPhil in Engineering Science. He works under the supervision of Professor Antonis Papachristodoulou and focuses on the design and construction of genetic feedback circuits for practical applications and synthetic microbial consortia. In other words, Miro wants to make sure that cells do the things that we want them to do! He believes that Synthetic Biology has immense potential to solve major healthcare, societal, and environmental challenges. He is also a member of the Steering Committee of the European Synthetic Biology Society. And he is passionate about a good coffee!

Harrison is an Associate Professor of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford. He leads a research group that creates biotechnologies at the interface of control engineering, synthetic biology and robotics.
