  <span> My name is Aurelie Lenaerts I am a Bachelor student in Biomedical Sciences at the KUL. Biology has been my interest ever since it became part of my curriculum. iGEM pulled my attention towards synthetic biology, in which the symbiotic relationships between man and bacteria can be exploited.I enjoy travelling and most definitely enjoy trying new foods in these places. My latest adventure was to Lund, Sweden for an exchange semester.</span>

  <p align = "justify">On this team page you can find the students and advisors of the team. They all worked really hard on <b><i>E.coligy</i>: plants with BanAphids</b>! Of course, we could only do this because off all the help we got from a lot of different people. We thanked them under 'attributions'. If you are being helped, you should also help. This is why we started some collaborations with other teams, including a very first, very small gathering of the Benelux iGEM teams. More about this can be found under collaborations.</p>

  <span> My name is Bert Mortier and I’m a chemical engineering student. Besides applied chemistry I’m also fascinated with biochemistry and microbiological life. To apply engineering techniques to bacteria seems a challenging idea. In addition to several scientific topics, I’m also interested in ethics, which is an intriguing aspect of synthetic biology. The greater part of my spare time I share with my friends.</span>

It’s a unique chance to participate in iGEM with people from different backgrounds and a good opportunity to gain new experiences and knowledge, in and around the lab.</span>

  <span> My name is Frederik Meynen and I'm a 1st year master student in biochemistry and biotechnology. I'm interested in everything that has anything to do with science, but especially in molecular biology and electronics. In my spare time I like to do orienteering and mountainbiking and messing around with my arduino. In the future I would love to pass on my passion for science and become a science teacher or journalist.</span>

This research domain requires a good knowledge of microbiology and gene technology, so that’s why iGEM is the ideal additional learning school. In my spare time I like going to the pub with friends, I play basketball and I enjoy singing and playing guitar.</span>

I also assist in research at the department of pathology of the UZ Leuven and I am vice-president of the Leuven student-researchers association (LVSO). Besides that and having some much needed fun with my friends there are few dull moments! iGEM is a new and exciting challenge for me. Synthetic biology is a young and rapidly expanding field of science. To be a part of these developments together with a multidisciplinary and amazing team is just plain fun. </span>

  <span> My name is Michael Poorthuis, graduate student in philosophy at the KU Leuven and graduate student in medicine at Utrecht University. I was asked to provide an ethical review of our iGEM project. The leading question will be: Are ethics related to technological progress, via synthetic biology, or is it like a sermon on Sunday, totally separated from everyday reality?</span>

  <span>I am Ingmar Claes and I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the <a href="http://www.biw.kuleuven.be/m2s/cmpg/">Centre of Microbial and Plant Genetics</a> . After my studies of bio-engineering, I did a PhD on the probiotic bacterium <I>Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG</I>. In this PhD, I studied the factors determining the probiotic effect of the <I>L. rhamnosus GG</I> in experimental colitis. Interdisciplinary studies were performed combining bacterial genetics and immunology. I always had and I still have a profound interest in scientific research, especially linking applied microbiology, mucosal immunology and health issues. The opportunity to guide the students on this iGEM project in a rather new field of synthetic biology looked very appealing and fascinating but also challenging. I am therefore looking forward to working with such motivated students on this iGEM project. </span>

  <span> Hi there fellow iGEMmer,
 
-
My name is Veerle De Wever, I am the KU Leuven iGEM team advisor in everything non-scientific such as sponsoring, administration, logistics, ....
 
-
Leuven is my hometown but I went abroad to obtain my PhD in genetics and biochemistry from the University of Vienna (Austria). While doing a postdoc in Canada, I came in contact with iGEM via the Calgary team of 2011, 2012. I was sold immediately and, upon my return to Leuven, more than happy to support the KU Leuven team.
 
-
My research interests lie with signal transduction; particularly in response to environmental changes. Currently I am working as a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Prof. Dr. Mathieu Bollen (<a href="http://gbiomed.kuleuven.be/english/research/50000618">Dept of Cellular and Molecular Medicine</a>) on protein phosphatases and their roles as master metabolic regulators in health and disease.</span>

iGem

Secret garden

Congratulations! You've found our secret garden! Follow the instructions below and win a great prize at the World jamboree!


  • A video shows that two of our team members are having great fun at our favourite company. Do you know the name of the second member that appears in the video?
  • For one of our models we had to do very extensive computations. To prevent our own computers from overheating and to keep the temperature in our iGEM room at a normal level, we used a supercomputer. Which centre maintains this supercomputer? (Dutch abbreviation)
  • We organised a symposium with a debate, some seminars and 2 iGEM project presentations. An iGEM team came all the way from the Netherlands to present their project. What is the name of their city?

Now put all of these in this URL:https://2013.igem.org/Team:KU_Leuven/(firstname)(abbreviation)(city), (loose the brackets and put everything in lowercase) and follow the very last instruction to get your special jamboree prize!

On this team page you can find the students and advisors of the team. They all worked really hard on E.coligy: plants with BanAphids! Of course, we could only do this because off all the help we got from a lot of different people. We thanked them under 'attributions'. If you are being helped, you should also help. This is why we started some collaborations with other teams, including a very first, very small gathering of the Benelux iGEM teams. More about this can be found under collaborations.
