Team:Bulgaria/Attributions

Attributions

In the scientific part of this table, we have opted to use the + - +++ system, in which + means “minor contribution”, ++ - “significant contribution” and +++ - “major contribution”. We chose this system because we are quite the small iGEM team (only 4 team members) and we had too much work per person to have a specific role in the lab.

Alexandrina Nesheva

Also known as Neshi is chairman at Faculty Students Council and Co-founder of Center for career development and orientation ScienceUP. She is a workaholic, a meme creator and gardener. During the day she is a Molecular biologist but when the night comes she transforms into creator of content for Team Bulgaria wiki page. Her spirit fruit is Papaya.

Zahari Ganchev

He is passionate Frond-end developer (the tech guy). In his early career he used to work for For the People company and just from that fact you know how kind and helpful he is. Zahari is also known as the creator of this wiki page. In his free time he sleeps, eats and cooks. His third favorite dinosaur is Brachiosaurus.

Maria Valeva

Maria is a Molecular biology student and self-taught amateur graphic designer with way too many hobbies. Being very inspired by the work of the iGEM Bulgaria team (and desperately needing an excuse to procrastinate on all her other assignments), she excitedly agreed to design a logo and banner for the team.

Tanya Strateva, MD and PhD

Medical University of Sofia, Department of Medical Microbiology

She helped with supervision and certified laboratory space for all experiments with pathogens.

Filip Abedinov, M.D.

St. Ekaterina Hospital · ICU

He provided answers to our pressing questions regarding multiresistant strains and antibiotic treatment.

Sylvia Marinova

She lent us a hand with the modelling aspect of our project. Unfortunately, due to time limitations, we could not complete this part in time, but what’s important to us is that she gave her best regardless.
