Welcome to our team page

Our final acchievement was made possible by the hard work and anticipation of the following countless people of our team.

Teams

Degradation

Marie Burghard Dipl. Biology

Master of SOE PCR and SDS-bubbles
Marie is one of the few remaining diploma of the TU Darmstadt and the only one of their kind that made it to our iGEM team.
If you need someone to keep a cool head and a bunch of testosterone driven menfolk in control there is no way around her.
She is skilled in all kind of genetic methods and even knows how to play the piano.

Jascha Dimer M.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Master of SOE PCR
Together with Marie Jascha isolated FsC and Est13 via SOE PCR.
He joined our iGem team in order to realize a project that involves going beyond the usual university project limits.
...

Adrian Eilingsfeld M.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Trainee in BioBrick production and god of wikimedia
Adrians objective was the construction of BioBricks based on the fusion proteins sub units.
When time was running short he took up the challenge and started the wiki.
He's a constant source of wicked ideas: He implemented the laser thermometer as labware, likes rockets and owns a 3D printer.

Philipp Rottmann M.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Master of BioBrick production and god of overexpression of FsC/Est13
Philipp represented our iGEM team on severall occasions, cared for our public relations and funding.
Yet he insited to spend time in the laboratory.
He is one of the alltime enthusiastic kind who always gives a helping hand and makes teamwork a pleasant experience. Without him the lab would not have been working.

Renè Sahm B.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

God of activity assays
Renè joined the iGEM teams as soon as he heard about it.
He is always in search of a challenge and gives his best while having a lot of fun.

Arne Wehling B.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Team leader and god of SOE PCR
Arne is a great team leader. He is confident and doesn't hesitate to kick ass if required but doesn't mind to pay attention to trivial matters.
Although he classifies himself as a tough guy and trains boxing on a regular basis, the only one who ended up with a black eye twice was himself, after some close quarter combats (sparring). He is extremely dedicated trying to bring science to the people.

Andreas Schmidt B.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Team leader and master of improvisation
Andreas

Sebastian Palluk B.Sc. Biology

Metabolism

Sascha Hein B.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Team leader and god of GLP
Sascha is a certified biological technical assistant and decided to lead the metabolism team.
His internalized skills and knowledge on a variety of methods make him essential for succesfull labwork.
He even went so far to be ready to sleep over at the lab.

Sven Rumpf B.Sc. Chemistry

...
Sven took iGEM as a chance to expand his skills on biotechnology.
Due to the fact that Adrian always showed up with bad news, he developed a special skill to evade encounters.

Daniel Sachs B.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Jonas von Irmer B.Sc. Chemistry

Team leader, master of AFM and synthesis
Jonas evolved from a mere spectator to team leader. Showing an enormous desire to make a contribution.
As a chemist he provided crucial skills and synthesised PET analoga.
Furthermore ...

Henner Zirpel M.Sc. Chemistry

Master of the vanishing product
Henner is a

Simulation

Stephan Gries B.Sc. Computer Science [[File:Tud_gries.jpg|left|55px]

Sven Jager M.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering left|50pxGod of simulation
Sven turned out to be our personal genius on simulation and modeling.
When he presented his first data we were stunned and pretty much didn't know what to say. As a consequence he reduced his data to a threshold that common people understand.
He ....

Human Resources & Coordination

Henrik Cordes M.Sc. Biomolecular Engineering

Project management and activity assignment
Henrik was one of the first to come up with the idea to enter the iGEM competition.
He soon started coordinating and setting up the team.
