Alicia 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. When I was in school, we had a practical week 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 Structural Biochemistry 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.

Berit Haßing

Hallo! Willkommen auf unserer Homepage!

Mein Name ist Berit Haßing und ich bin ein Mitglied des iGEM Teams der Georg-August Universität Göttingen. Ebenso wie fast alle anderen Teammitglieder bin ich zurzeit im zweiten Semester des englischsprachigen Masterstudiengangs "Microbiology and Biochemistry" und ich genieße meine Zeit hier in Göttingen! Letztes Jahr habe ich meinen Bachelorabschluss in der Abteilung Mikrobiologie der Universität Osnabrück erhalten und plane mich auch weiter in die Richtung Mikrobiologie und Genetik zu spezialisieren. Ich habe mich entschieden an dem iGEM Wettbewerb teilzunehmen da ich hier die Möglichkeit habe, zusammen mit anderen Studenten ein komplettes Projekt selber zu planen und durchzuführen. Natürlich hoffe ich auch viel zu lernen und interessante neue Leute auf den internationalen Ausscheidungen zu treffen! Ich bin ein Mitglied der Gruppe 1 "Selektion/Schwimmen" und auch an den "Human Practice" Projekten beteiligt.
Liebe Grüße
Berit

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.

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 first 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!
When I am not busy with PCRs, cloning or studying I am very much into sports like football, surfing or basketball. Also I like travelling whenever there is time (and money) or just being outside.

Patrick Reinke

Hallo Liebe Besucher! Ich bin Patrick und nehme ebenfalls am Master-Programm "Mikrobiologie und Biochemie" an der Universität Göttingen teil. Meinen Bachelor of Science habe ich an der Leibniz-Universität Hannover gemacht. Ich war überzwei Jahre Mitglied der Schierwater-Arbeitsgruppe im Institut für Tierökologie und Zellbiologe der Stiftung Tierärtzliche Hochschule. Ich arbeitete dort an potentiellen Nervensystemen und Taxisverhalten von dem basalen Mehrzeller Trichoplax adhaerens und sammelte viele Erfahrungen im Bereich der Genetik und experimenteller Biologie. In meinem Master versuche ich nun die genetischen Aspekte mit detailiertem Wissen im Bereich der Biochemie zu ergänzen. Als Kommilitonen berichtet haben, dass sie mit einem interessanten Projekt an dem iGEM-Wettbewerb teilnehmen wollen, habe ich mich sofort gemeldet, um dem Team beizutreten. Auch um einen ersten Einblick in das Projektmanagement und -finanzierung von wissenschaftlichen Projekten zu bekommen.

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 jamboree in Europe and meet lots of other students with worthwhile ideas and projects.
