After an internship and various practical trainings, iGEM is the first big opportunity to get real insights and expertise in the design and realization of scientific projects for him. Since there is almost no time for anything else until the Jamboree is over, he will be grateful to spend more time making music as a percussionist and doing something where fresh air, daylight and beautiful landscapes are involved, following the iGEM experience. In the meantime, he is part of our iJAMing combo a late visitor to the lab may encounter. In the iGEM project he is mainly involved in the indigoidine tag optimization subproject and its modeling."> | |

Tania worked on the synthetic peptide and indigoidine tagging subproject and contributed a lot of hours into the design of the team’s website and our shiny introduction video on NRPS, she realized. She would recommend joining an iGEM Team to anyone! Everyone experienced a steep learning curve, not only improving wet lab skills, but also learning how project development works and how to adapt to constantly changing conditions as well as lack of sleep."> |

He is not only curious about science and nature but also (computer) technology and engineering. He proved that one can write a script for nearly any purpose, which did not only helped a lot during uploading huge data onto our wiki. For Konrad a good start in the morning strongly correlates with his first coffee, optimal applied in group with some of the other team members. The rest of the day mainly consists of experiments for the indigoidine tag optimization subproject, some modeling of indigoidine tag kinetics or challenging computer work."> |

Previously, he applied this interdisciplinarity by working with constraints-based models of metabolism. Having also had experience with synthetic biology by designing a modular system for in vivo mutagenesis, he is now very excited to be part the iGEM team of Heidelberg. iGEM is a unique opportunity to put everything into practice in an environment promoting open science and collaborative effort. Nikos is also fascinated by the biology of Indigoidine, non-ribosomal peptides, as well as their modularity. He is a fundamental part of the software crew and contributed his modeling experience to the feasibility study of gold recycling by recombinant delftibactin." > |

She is very happy to improve her laboratory skills when it comes to genetics and the handling of bacteria, as she has only been working in other research areas so far. Furthermore, iGEM gives her the opportunity to experience and conquer the challenges of planning such a big project and the organization of a team. Sophie was very dedicated to the delftibactin subproject: while cloning, handling cultures and purifying all night long. One of her hobbies is music - especially in a band or one of the weekly iJAM-sessions."> |

For her, iGEM is the first scientific competition ever and the intensive teamwork and the high expectations are really motivating. Since her major was bioinformatics and since she felt like skipping bench work for a while, she is mainly involved in the software projects like iGEM42 of which she is in charge. This means lots of coffee and heavy metal music to keep her brain running. She already learned at lot in this competition by now, which she will be able to apply in her future work - for her personally it was already worth participating. "> |

Therefore, Sophie frequently had to discover cyclers filled with PCRs from 4.30 a.m. Florian is part of the delftibactin project where he worked on cloning strategies, primer design, amplification and assembly of DelRest and DelH. Furthermore, he worked on the recovery of gold from electronic waste and the characterization of delftibactin. Apart from iGEM and science, he can often be found on the badminton court, loves sports cars, formula 1 and The Simpsons. "> |

But since this obviously does not occupy him fully (©reative input by Fanny - due to lacking constructiveness when writing about oneself in third person), he also studies Mathematics. As he tasted blood in several internships in genomics and proteomics all over the world (Heidelberg, Potsdam, Stanford and Berkeley), he is very excited to participate in iGEM. Philipp is always cheerful and friendly, no matter how confusing things are in the lab. He is an important part of the synthetic peptides and indigoidine-tag subproject. Hereby, he learned to use his strengths for a team and to develop parts of a project from the first scratch to the final validation. Outside the lab, he is a huge fan of playing chess, making music - either on the piano or by singing - debating and philosophy. "> |

She worked on bioengineering and translational approaches like therapeutical vaccines or immunotoxins in several labs around the world from Texas to Bavaria. As advisor, she supported the team in regards of financing, design and human practice, as well as lab strategies and organization as well as motivation. Fanny definitely carries the wanderlust gene, so if she is not in the lab, she travels the world and its kitchens. Should her science career not work out, she might start her own restaurant or become a photographer."> |

He joined the 2009 competition jamboree as volunteer and participated again in 2010 as student member of the iGEM team Heidelberg. After a one-year break during which he had to work on some studies-related formalities, Dominik supervised the Heidelberg iGEM high school Team together with his close friends Katharina, Tim, Lorenz and Oskar (most of them former iGEM participants, too). Since 2013 Dominik is a PhD student in the department of Roland Eils where he is – of course – participating in iGEM again, this time as an advisor of the student iGEM team.

The research interests of Prof. Eils lies in the field of the analysis and mathematical modeling of complex pathways in molecular biology. He can look back at a very successful career, as he is the head of the Department of Theoretical Bioinformatics in the DKFZ and working on computational oncology. Furthermore, he is the director of the Department of Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics of the IPMB at the University of Heidelberg. Alongside Prof. Kräusslich and Prof. Wolfrum, he is one of three founding directors of the BioQuant, as well as the leader of the Systems Biology Center and the representative of the FORSYS-Initiative of Heidelberg’s research network, the ViroQuant. He has won numerous awards; in particular he has been awarded the Biofuture price (approx. 1.2 Million €) by the BMBF for innovations allowing the graphical reconstruction of the eukaryotic mitosis process from 4D microscopy images and in the year 2005 he won the award for new innovative research by Helmholtz Society: “SystemsBiology of Complex Diseases”. Besides, he was one of the main organizers of the International Conference on Systems Biology in Heidelberg 2004 and he organized the German Symposium on Systems Biology 2009. His new engagement in the up-coming field of Synthetic Biology underlines the need for tight interdisciplinary work between experimentalists and theoreticians. |

Her Ph.D. project consisted in constructing a synthetic human p53 network in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. She was post-doc in the laboratory of Victor Sourjik, at the ZMBH. During this time she investigated the self-organizing properties of the Min system, the protein machinery that in Escherichia coli defines mid-cell. Starting from November 2011, Barbara heads the Synthetic Biology group in the department of Roland Eils, at the BioQuant. Barbara believes in the power of synthetic biology to create new functional devises and to teach important lessons about real biological systems. She also thinks that combining theory and experiments is the best strategy to understand the molecular mechanisms driving biological processes. Barbara finds the iGEM competition truly exciting and she is very happy to mentor the young, motivated and enthusiastic students of the Heidelberg iGEM 2013 team! |
