"As a member of the science team, I'm always behind a computer (and far away from the lab benches), so what better way to explain biology than using IT tools! Between water polo and swimming, I spend more time underwater than on dry land. As a leader (Scout?), I love organizing activities and games for others, whether it's for educational teams, team building, or elsewhere!"

"I am in my third year of genetics at Lyon 1 University. I am constantly amazed by living organisms, how they can be encoded by DNA and all the mechanisms that result from this. I am part of the education team and will be working in the lab. I enjoy sharing what I learn, for example through tutoring. I also love nature, mountain sports, evolution, and dinosaurs."

"I am in my third year of cellular biology at Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University. I am passionate about immunology and the functioning and development of female cancers. I am part of the science team because I enjoy the immersive aspect of research, and I am part of the education team because sharing knowledge and science is something that is very important to me. I often give private lessons, and I enjoy playing sports and chess."

"Co-communications manager and (desperate) team-building coordinator, she tries to bring the team together between rugby sessions, bachata dancing, and rat training at CRNL🐀. Always up for exploring old Lyon ! ... as soon as she finishes her current canva project first!

"Between rugby matches and an internship at CRCL, she finds sponsors and partners like no one else. Co-head of entrepreneurship, passionate about cinema and science, she dreams big... especially when basking in the sunshine, with a good book in her hand and a spritz to refresh the moment. Italian at heart, she has swapped Fellini for synthetic biology!"

"As a student in Biochemistry & Biotechnology at INSA, I am heading towards pharmaceutical R&D with the desire to contribute to concrete and useful projects. Currently? I alternate between studying PFAS (the goal: to eliminate these molecules that linger in our environment a little too long) and organizing my next trips. I love the South of France, cinema, and planning getaways whenever possible."

"As a member of the science and sponsorship team, I love exploring new things, whether in science or elsewhere. I've tried more than 10 activities (not always successfully, shout out to the choir). What matters most to me is working in a caring and close-knit team."

"As a third-year student in cellular biology at the University of Lyon 1, I am fascinated by the immune system and cancer. I am the head of education and co-head of communications. As if my schedule wasn't busy enough, I also play music in three bands and enjoy running and cycling!"

"Whether in the laboratory or not, I am always ready to embark on new experiences! I am someone who does not like to sit around doing nothing, so when I am not in class or at my lab bench, I run, sculpt, paint, or work on projects like iGEM! Otherwise, I really like animals, plants, fungi, and all types of microorganisms (especially E. coli), and I think it would be great if we could use fluorobreakers to try to limit their contamination with PFAS..."

"As an L3 Biosciences student at ENS Lyon, I am fascinated to see how every advance in genetics paves the way for innovative solutions to everyday challenges. A bit like John Hammond in Jurassic Park, manipulating the DNA of dinosaur bacteria to destroy PFAS is a crazy project! That said, we probably won't be creating an open-air park... 🦖🦠"

"As a third-year biosciences student at ENS Lyon, I am fascinated by the mechanisms that govern living organisms and the alternative uses that can be exploited to develop sustainable solutions to today's health and environmental challenges. For the 2025 edition of iGEM, I will be in charge of the science team and a member of the sponsorship team. Fun fact: this is my fourth L3 (comment: I confirm that this is a fun fact xDDD)."
