First of all, we would like to thank Brigitte Vannier, our Master degree referent, without whom we would not be here today. It is thanks to her that we embarked on this adventure. It is also thanks to her that we believed in ourselves. She has been present in both good and bad times. A valuable help in all areas. Always good advice and play down any situation. “All alone we go faster, together, we go further.” - African proverb

Our entire team
Lab sub-team
In order to carry out the experiments, we recruited trainees who worked on the scientific part of the project. It was thanks to the help of Florian, Thomas, Peter, Axel and Jonathan that we obtained results.
IT sub-team
The whole website creation and coding part was done by Clément, Hugo, Marvin and Martin. They helped to create a communication site for our patrons and our contacts, as well as the wiki. In addition, they took some time to teach us how to modify the content of our sites at any time, allowing us to add new skills to our bow.

Research sub-team
The scientific research team did a lot of work to mature the project. It is composed of 4 students: François, Yohann, Caroline, Thomas. They found a large number of publications related to our project. This allowed us to identify the target molecules as well as their biosynthetic pathway. They also did research work on protocols and methods for extracting and purifying molecules after the production. Finally, for the applications, they carried out researches on the quantities, the stability and the diffusion methods of the molecules so that they will be attractive outside
