Hi! We are a team of five 17 year olds from St Paul’s School, the first team from our school, and indeed the first ever UK school team to enter iGEM. St Paul’s is a day school in South West London, UK and was founded over 500 years ago by John Colet, dean of St Paul’s. The school was originally established in St Paul’s Cathedral in the city centre (hence the name) but has since expanded from Colet’s original 153 boys to accommodate over 800 boys between the ages of 13-18 and consequently the school now sits in Barnes on the River Thames

We are aiming to produce a lactose sensor, a project which you can read more about in the project section of this page, but promises to be both a challenging and stimulating one. The fiver of us were inspired to compete in the competition after the school hosted a speaker from the scientific work who introduced us to some the exciting work that past high-school and university teams has completed.
