Academic Sponsors
Our efforts were funded by several institutions of the Technical University Munich (TUM). Their generous support enabled us to cover the initial team registration, the jamboree fees and travel expense as well as the majority of wet lab material costs.
Chair of Biological Chemistry, Prof. Dr. Skerra
We would like to thank Professor Dr. Arne Skerra, who generously granted our team laboratory space and competitive infrastructure at the chair of biological chemistry as well as his scientific supervision and guidance. His internationally acknowledged contributions and comprehensive experience in molecular biotechnology and protein design were repeatedly awarded and his emphasis on practical application and economic use of academic research findings have led to the foundation of two biotech companies.
Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan (TUM)
The Center of Life and Food Sciences Weihenstephan addresses the challenges of the 21st century such as global warming, population explosion, food security and dwindling fossil fuel reserves with a combination of fundamental and applied research as well as interdisciplinary efforts scaling from molecules across organisms towards ecosystems. Accordingly, the faculty combines expertise in biosciences, biotechnology, agronomy, forestry, ecology, ecosystem management, nutrition, food sciences and life science engineering.
Technical University of Munich (TUM)
Technische Universität München (TUM) is one of Europe’s top universities.
