Lambert iGEM Team
The Lambert iGEM Team is the first High School iGEM team in the state of Georgia. This was possible thanks to our principal, Dr. Gary Davison, Dr. Mark Styczynski of Georgia Institute of Technology and the National Science Foundation Grant #1254382.

Attributions
Our team members brought many skills to the iGEM experience. We divided into committees to accomplish different tasks towards the project. Each committee was responsible for their area of expertise as well as contributing to other areas of work as needed. All team members were required to fulfill service hours during our Saturday tutoring with Next Generation Focus. We also elected officers to serve as positions of leadership.
