Bielefeld iGEM-Team 2012: Back-row from left to right: Robert Braun, Gabriele Kleiner, Kevin Jarosch, Moritz Müller, Hakan Geyik, Miriam Fougeras, Saskia Scheibler, Agatha Walla. Front-row from left to right: Sebastian Wiebe, Isabel Huber, Julia Schirmacher, Nadine Legros, Malak Fawaz, Derya Kirasi, Julia Voss.

Our Team consists of 15 dedicated undergraduate students from Bielefeld University. We are majoring in Molecular Biotechnology, Genome-Based Systems Biology, Bioinformatics and Molecular Cell Biology. Our participation in this competition enables us to get inolved in an international project, which gives us the chance to collaborate and challenge with excellent early stage researchers from all over the world. This participation results from personal and scientific interest and all our work is realized in our spare time besides the regular academic calendar. In order to realize our project, we try to maintain a high level of organization charge and accomplish a large amount of work. But despite all the work, we have a lot of fun.

Robert Braun

Bielefeld2012 Robert Braun.jpg

  • My Studies:
    Molecular Biotechnology, because it's an impressive and innovative combination of industrial production processes and research with a deeper understanding in molecular operations.
  • The reason why I participate in iGEM:
    Taking part in iGEM is maybe the best chance to surpass the own limits and to compete with other young scientists. The greatest things about iGEM is the “spirit”, the chance to meet and get to know hundreds of young people, be part of the innovation of iGEM and to realize that all those people from around the world share the same passion. Participating in iGEM offers the chance to plan and hold an own project. I would like to learn about communication with the industries as well as the broader public. Of course I also want to expand my laboratory skills and to deepen my scientific understanding.
  • What I hope to achieve during working in Lab:
    As many and as well as possible lab results and success in communicating our project and our result with the society?
  • What I do if I'm not in Lab:
    For me, the best way to enjoy the few hours of leasure time is sitting in the sun at the “Siegfriedplatz” in Bielefeld. Which, to be honest, is rarely the case. Either it rains (which is nearly always the case), or, well, it rains.
  • What I think about safety an how I want to practise it:
    Think before you act, so you can take the appriopriate steps to protect you, others and the environment. And always, always, always be careful when doing something stupid.
  • Time I like most to work: (early bird/ not a morning person):
    The later the evening gets, the better the results. Nothing against the early bird, but I need my sleep.

"Synthetic Biology - Do I need to say more? Working in this young, aspiring and rapid growing field of life science is challenging, but also fun. Having the chance to participate in iGEM is maybe the best chance to work in Synthetic Biology being a young scientist."

Malak Fawaz

Bielefeld2012 Malak Fawaz.jpg
Coming Soon "As a member of an iGEM team I hope we would be able to achieve our expected results and develop a filter system to purify wastewater with the help of synthetic biology. On the other hand, I also hope we could improve the public perception of synthetic biology and reveal the great potential of this emerging field of science."

Miriam Fougeras

Bielefeld2012 Miriam Fougeras.jpg
Coming Soon "I am taking part at iGEM to learn how to plan a research project and to work in a motivated team. Especially, I am interested in meeting people from a number of different countries. I am hoping to get more practical training in the lab and hopefully have fun with my and the other teams in boston :)."

Hakan Geyik

Bielefeld2012 Hakan Geyik.jpg
Coming Soon "Changing the biology of organisms using synthetic biology is changing the world to a better place. "

Isabel Huber

Bielefeld2012 IsabelHuber.JPG
Coming Soon "It’s a great opportunity to work as a team on our own project and to get to know other young scientists. I hope to gain new experiences and knowledge in lab and around."

Kevin Jarosch

Bielefeld2012 Kevin Jarosch.JPG
Coming Soon "The reason why I participate in iGEM is to work on our project, to improve my Softskill and to get new connections to the scientific Network. I hope to win the Main Award and the Improvement of my Skills."

Derya Kirasi

Bielefeld2012 Derya Kirasi.jpg
Coming Soon "Coming soon"

Gabriele Kleiner

Bielefeld2012 Gabriele Kleiner.jpg
Coming Soon " In my opinion the iGEM competition offers us a possibility to plan OUR OWN project starting from an initial idea up to financial aspects and the lab work. Trough my participation I hope I will learn how to plan and to organize a project and the lab work in a team and also how to present a project (to improve my soft skills). "

Nadine Legros

Bielefeld2012 Nadine Legros.jpg
Coming Soon "I love to possibility to plan and operate our own project. To get in contact with other international teams and to work for our selves. I wish to learn something about organising new projects and about interacting in a team, in which everyone has the same goal. I want to use iGEM to improve my soft skills and to learn new interesting methods."

Moritz Müller

  • My Studies:
    Molecular Biotechnology, because it's biology and Application in one.
  • The reason why I participate in iGEM:
    to broaden my horizon, meet clever people & have a lot of fun
  • What I hope to achieve during working in Lab:
    That even setbacks lead to better results
  • What I do if I'm not in Lab:
    My band, Jeet Kune Do
  • What I think about safety an how I want to practise it:
    Better be safe than sorry – history can tell what happens if the wrong organism is in the right place.
  • Time I like most to work: (early bird/ not a morning person):
    I like to start early, take a break mid-day (especially in summer) and then continue work ‘til night

"Today biology is known to build the smallest machines and tools, named enzymes and proteins. Synthetic biology is going to make this usable and controllable by mankind. It's time to get the 10-100 kDa wrenches working!"

Saskia Scheibler

Bielefeld2012 Saskia Scheibler.jpg

  • My Studies:
    Molecular Cell Biology - Because cells rule!
  • The reason why I participate in iGEM:
    I enjoy being able to plan and carry out a whole project independently with other students and not to work after some professors script.
  • What I hope to achieve during working in Lab:
    To learn some new methods, to feel successful in the end and of course to have fun and many many active and happy laccases.
  • What I do if I'm not in Lab:
    I´m baking. :)
  • What I think about safety an how I want to practice it:
    Of course safety is one of the most important aspects in the laboratory. I do think that everyone is able to read safety instructions but it is a lot harder to also practice them. This is what I am setting high value on, things such as wearing gloves all the time but taking them off when touching something being not lab equipment or label everything correct and properly and and and..
  • Time I like most to work: (early bird/ not a morning person):
    I can do both but I usually get an energy boost at about 11 pm ;)

Julia Voß

Bielefeld2012 Julia Voss.jpg
Coming Soon "To realize your own project in a group of totally different persons is wonderful and a great chance to learn a lot from each other. That´s why I think iGEM is such a interesting and important experience."

Agatha Walla

Bielefeld2012 Agatha Walla.jpg
Coming Soon "The reason why I participate in iGEM is that it gives young scientists the oppurtunity to deepen their knowledge in this very new field of synthetic biology. I hope that we get as much out of it as we can as a team."

Sebastian Wiebe

Bielefeld2012 Sebastian Wiebe.jpg
Coming Soon "There is no better way to learn, than to work on a manageable Project by choice."
