StudentsAlicia Illen
I just earned my Bachelor's degree of Biological Sciences at the University of Bonn where I majored
in Microbiology and Biotechnology. I am currently attending the Master's program Microbiology and
Biochemistry at the University of Göttingen specializing in Molecular Genetics, Microbial Cell Biology
and Biochemistry. This will be my first iGEM participation and I am eagerly looking forward to working
on our project. It will be an opportunity to work independently and on our own responsibility and to
learn a lot about lab work in general. I am looking forward to take part in the international competition
to gain valuable experiences that will broaden my horizon.

Anna Maria Köhler
Hello my name is Anna and I am a student of the Microbiology and Biochemistry Master in Göttingen, as well.
First a short story about how I decided to become a biologist: When I was in school, we had a practical week of genetics
with a professor from an university. Since this laboratory experience, I decided to study biology and to become a scientist!
I did my bachelor thesis in the department of Molecular Structural Biology in Göttingen, where I became a fan of proteins.
Participating the iGEM team means very much to me because I am looking forward to work independently and I like to develop new ideas
in a group of students.

Bianca Genenncher
Hello everybody. My name is Bianca Genenncher and it is my second year of the Biochemistry and Microbiology Master
of the University of Göttingen. During my Bachelor studies in Göttingen my main focus pointed towards the Molecular Plant
Biology examining the plant´s molecular reaction to invading pathogens. Last year, I was studying in Scotland at the
University of Aberdeen. I really enjoyed my time abroad working together with students from other countries
with interesting cultural backgrounds, but I also admire the beautiful nature of course.
This is my first iGEM participation and I like being a part of the first iGEM team of the University of Göttingen.
I am highly motivated to start doing the experiments and gain the first
experience designing own experiments. Another reason for me to participate is the internationality of this
competition. I am looking forward to have rewarding discussions about the results or different ways to
reach the aim with my team members.

Corinna Krüger
Hello, my name is Corinna Krüger and I am currently in the second semester of the Biochemistry and Microbiology Master at the University of Göttingen.
I received my Bachelor of Science in the field of Molecular Biology 2011 also at this University. Last year after my Bachelor, I was doing an
internship at the University of Göteborg, Sweden. This is my first iGEM participation and I am really glad being a member of the team. All of
us are very motivated and we have a lot of fun doing our experiments. I think that iGEM offers the possibility to work independently and to learn
organizing experiments. I am really looking forward to the jamboree in Amsterdam. I hope to get to know other teams from different countries and
that we can exchange our experiments in lab work.

Jan Erik Schliep
As well as all the others, I am a student of the Microbiology and Biochemistry Master´s
program at the University of Göttingen and I am currently in my first semester. I finished
my Bachelor in August 2011 at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in the field of
Molecular Biotechnology after six semesters of study. During my time in Munich, I heard
of iGEM for the first time. Some of my former fellow students participated in an iGEM
Team for the TUM and their stories stunned me very much and I wanted to join a team by
myself. I worked for my Bachelor's thesis at the Chair of Proteomics of Prof. Küster at
the Faculty of Life Science at the TUM, where I had a lot to work on my own and plan my
work. By doing this, I had a lot of fun and I think to re-experience this during our iGEM
project.

Jan Kampf
Hello everybody, my name is Jan Kampf and I am pursuing also the MSc/PhD program in
"Microbiology and Biochemistry" at the Georg-August University of Göttingen.
I received my Bachelor of Science in the field of Molecular Biology in 2011 at
the Faculty of Biology of the University of Göttingen as well. For my bachelor
thesis "Insights into Mammalian SIRT6 Function in Cellular Stress Response" I
worked at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen. During
my time as a bachelor's student in the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry
I had the opportunity to work in an environment with people from various countries
raised in different and diverse cultures. It was a great time for me and motivated
me to spend a period of time working again on a project, which allows earning
experience in autonomous efforts and planning of our project. So I am really looking
forward to our iGEM project for the opportunity to work independently in a team of
young students as well as the opportunity to present our work and the results to a
multicultural audience and the exchange of experiences during the time of the iGEM
project of the other teams.

Leonhard Nagel
Hello, my name is Leo and I am also a student of the Microbiology and Biochemistry Masters
program at the University of Göttingen. I chose this Master program because I liked the
combination and variety of the special emphasis. In 2011, I finished my Bachelor with a
special focus on Genomic and Applied Microbiology at the University of Göttingen. I am
very proud to be a part of the first iGEM team of Göttingen. I think the participation
in the iGEM competition will improve my lab skills and will prepare me also for my
following scientific career. Furthermore, I hope our project will be successful and
enables us to take part in the regional and international jamboree.

Nikolas Rakebrandt
My name is Nikolas Rakebrandt and I am currently in the second semester of the MSc "Microbiology and
Biochemistry" program in Göttingen. Before my career as a scientist, I made a little detour and hold
a BSc in Business Administration and Economics from the University of Passau. After this, I acquired
my Biology BSc in Göttingen with a thesis about effector proteins of plant pathogenic fungi. I am
really looking forward to iGEM because it will be "our" project and we will be able to work and plan
on this autonomously. I think this will be very challenging and fun, not to mention that we will probably
learn a great deal! |

Patrick Reinke
Hello everybody!
I am Patrick and also student of the Masters program "Microbiology and Biochemistry" at
the Georg-August University in Göttingen.
I earned my Bachelor of science at the Leibniz University in Hannover. I was member of
the Schierwater-workgroup
in the Institute of ecology and evolution of the Stiftung Tierärtzliche Hochschule Hannover
for over 2 years. My workfield was
taxis-behaviour and potential early-evolution neuro-systems on Trichoplax adhaerens.
I gathered many experiences in the workfield of genetics and experimental biology.
Within my Master I want to complement this experiences with detailed biochemical knowledge.
In the beginning of this year fellow students told me that they want to participate
at the iGEM competition. The interesting Project catched me so I joined the team immediately.
I think this Project is also a good first experience of scientific projectmanagement and
financing.

Sandra Keiper
Hey, I'm Sandra. As a big fancier of genetics, microbiology and biochemistry, I recently started to study Microbiology and
Biochemistry for a Masters degree at the Georg-August University of Göttingen. Last year, I aquired the
academic degree of Bachelor of Science in Biology at the Humboldt University of Berlin. During these
studies I also specialized on the already mentioned fields. This year is the first I participate in iGEM
and I am really looking forward to work independently on our project and hope learn something and to meet new people.

Simon Uhse
My name is Simon, I am currently studying in the Biochemistry and Microbiology Master´s
programme at the University of Göttingen. Last year, I finished my Bachelor with an emphasis
on Molecular Biology at the University of Göttingen. Next to the university courses I really
enjoy to play tablesoccer in my freetime. I am a member of a club which competes with other
teams in a German wide national league. This year, I joined the iGEM team to participate in
an interesting competition as well as to improve my lab skills. I am eager to organize and
develop a project together with other students and just like to have a fun time with them.
Hopefully, we are able to get to the international jamboree in Boston and meet lots of other students with
worthwhile ideas and projects.
