Team Uppsala University – iGEM 2012

About us

The team

Team Uppsala University consists of 26 (not all in picture above) eager undergraduate students from the Molecular Biotechnology Engineer program. This is the fourth year that Uppsala University is participating in iGEM. We would like to thank the Biology Education Centre (IBG), the Department of Cell and Molecular biology (ICM) and the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology (IMBIM) for providing us with resources, knowledge and tools. We would also like to thank our sponsors, supervisors, instructors and advisors for your help and support!

Supervisors

Prof.
Anthony Forster

Prof.
Anders Virtanen

Anthony Forster is a professor at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology and a member of the Uppsala RNA Research Centre (URRC). He is researching synthetic biology, protein synthesis and drug discovery, and is currently working towards the synthesis of a minimal cell. Read more...

Anders Virtanen is a professor at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology and a member of the Uppsala RNA Research Centre (URRC). Anders studies primarily enzymes involved in regulating the fate of mRNA. One of his goals is to identify previously unrecognized small non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) and to determine their functions.

Instructors

Erik Gullberg

Mikael Nissbeck

PhD student in Medical Bacteriology at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology at Uppsala University since 2009 and is currently working on antibiotic resistance in bacteria in the Dan Andersson group at the Uppsala Biomedical Center. So far he has published articles in PLoS Pathogens and Molecular Microbiology.

PhD student at Uppsala RNA Research Center (URRC), Department of Cell and Molecular biology, at Uppsala University since 2012 and is currently working on the human enzyme Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) in the Anders Virtanen group at the Uppsala Biomedical Center.

Donors

Herbert Boyer

Herbert Boyer is one of the founding fathers of modern recombinant DNA technologies. In his famous paper from 1970, Boyer and Cohen made the first molecular cloning into a vector. This discovery laid the foundation to start one of the first biotech companies.
We are honored to have met this incredible man and to have him as a donor.
