<li><strong>Kristina Douglas</strong> is a member of the wetlab group, and found the enzyme fluoroacetate dehalogenase. She contributed to making decisions with the other wet lab group members during meetings, as well as helping out with the procedures in the lab. Kristina also collaborated with other group members on working on the notebook portion of the wiki page.</li>
<li><strong>William Huynh</strong> helped to communicate with the scientist we worked with, William organized meetings and transportation to the labs. Being a member of the wetlab, he went into the lab and performed various procedures such as PCR, Gibson and Golden Gate Assembly, and Electroporation. On top of that, he took meeting minutes and notes during lab days to put into the notebook/experiments part of the wiki.</li>
<li><strong>Melody Zhao</strong> is a member of the human practices group and helps the wet lab group on occasion. She helped organize the ethics symposium by collaborating with Del Norte and CCA igem. She also created the science communication survey and used it to understand the general public’s understanding of PFAS toxins in our water.</li>
<li><strong>Sophie</strong> is a member of the dry lab team. She worked on the AutoDock models and analyzed the results.</li>
<li><strong>Sophie Duan</strong> is a member of the dry lab team. She assisted in finding the enzyme for haloacid dehalogenase from Protein Data Bank. She also performed all the simulations of the AutoDock models for haloacid dehalogenase and fluoroacetate dehalogenase with PFOA and PFOS. She then took these models and used the Protein Ligand Interaction Profiler from Protein Data Bank and the data from AutoDock to analyze the data.</li>
<li><strong>Fiona Zhang</strong> is a member of the wet lab group. She worked on the project in lab, performing procedures such as PCR, Gibson and Golden Gate Assembly, and bacterial transformation and plating. She also helped design primers and took photos in the lab to help document the procedures and results. Additionally, she summarized the results of the project on the team wiki page.

<li><strong>Leila El-Kareh</strong> worked as a part of wet lab during this project, participating in research both early stages and throughout the experiment. She contributed heavily to the idea of dehalogenating enzymes and also the choice between various bacterias used in lab. For the team’s IGEM wiki Leila wrote and finalized the safety page, including safety working in the lab and for the project overall.
