Wayne Materi's Problem Solving Experience:

1. I helped to successfully raise over $120K (Canadian) in private and government funds for R&D in my start up company, Carbonitum Energy.
2. I designed and implemented a Synthetic Biology research program at Canada's National Institute for Nanotechnology.
3. I have published peer-reviewed articles on development neurobiology in C elegans, computational biology, transcriptional responses to adhesion in E. coli, among others.
4. I designed and wrote parts of a multi-currency accounting system with over 20,000 users. I have also designed and implemented a number of accounting and inventory systems to small businesses. This activity is somewhat dated to the late 1980s. Nevertheless I maintain an active awareness of current approaches to business solutions.
5. I successfully advised or led two iGEM teams to Silver Medal or First Place - Energy awards. I was invited to write and have published an article on Running Successful iGEM Teams following this.
