In 2009 the Bielefeld University celebrated its 40th anniversary and thus is a relative young University. Among the 18,500 students are 1,433 international students from all over the world. All 13 faculties find their place in one building, which is a big advantage for the interdisciplinary research.

Home is where our heart is

Bielefeld

The city is localized in North Rhine-Westphalia on the fringes of the Teutoburg Forest. The towns’ landmark is the Sparrenburg which is about 800 years old. A well-known company is the food giant Dr. Oetker whose frozen pizzas are famous.

The University

University

In 2009 the Bielefeld University celebrated its 40th anniversary and thus is a relative young University. Among the 18,500 students are 1,433 international students from all over the world. All 13 faculties find their place in one building, which is a big advantage for the interdisciplinary research.









CeBiTec

The iGEM laboratory is located in the Center for Biotechnology ([http://www.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/ CeBiTec]) which was founded in 1998 and is consisting of four institutes:

  • Institute for Bioinformatics
  • Institute for Genome Research and Systems Biology
  • Institute for Biophysics and Nanoscience
  • Institute for Biochemistry and Bioengineering
Novel technologies allow high-level research with the potential for unique international collaborations. Especially the setups for second generation sequencing, such as 454 Pyrosequencing and Illumina, are worth mentioning. Further, high level research is performed in the field of transcriptomics and metabolomics (some applied techniques are GC-GC-MS, MALDI-TOF-MS, qTOF-MS).
