<b>Motivation for iGEM:</b> iGEM is the perfect preparation for a career in science. Doing a normal internship requires you to help in a PhD students project, or at best have your own sub-project inside an existing project. Doing iGEM as a replacement for your internship gives the added bonus of having to think about every stage of a project, from brainstorming to eventually getting results, and of course human outreach. As a Bioinformatician it is also very important to be able to adapt to biologists in a project environment, for which iGEM is a perfect learning ground.<br>

<b>Future perspectives:</b> After iGEM i will do something completely different, starting my internship in Wageningen where i will study protein homology and/or protein-protein interation using machine learning techniques. The plan is to start my PhD after my study, but direction and place is still unknown.<br>
