Synthetic biology is a rapidly developing field with a lot of interesting research going on. Contributing to this research and specifically trying to make a real product or application of it is what attracts me to iGEM. I am a first year master student 'Systems and Control' at Delft University of Technology and my BSc. was in mechanical engineering. So, synthetic biology is new to me, which makes it exciting to discover, one of my main reason to join iGEM. I also enjoy a lot to work in this multidisciplinary team: the different views (or you may call it creativity) in brainstorming often catches me by surprise. In my free time I play squash to hit away the daily frustrations or go running to enjoy nature.

-<tr><td align="justify"><p>Dear mother, iGEM contestant from another team or random person who googled my name. I'm the stowaway from the university of Leiden who ended up in this team. My main jobs are playing around with pipettes and colouring inside of the lines, which can be seen on the wiki and our posters. With Biology as my main background I got a chance to work with plants, animals and micro-organisms. Although every aspect of life is equally interesting, the simplicity and -at the same time- complexity of bacteria led me in the direction of microbiology. During my bachelor internship under the supervision of Dennis Claessen I have worked with Streptomyces, a soil organism which is not only important for our ecosystem, but also for us! These bacteria produce a wide array of different antibiotics, at least three quarter of the antibiotics we use originate from these bacteria. The iGEM competition was announced during a work discussion and the following week I was paying my first visit to Delft.
-The iGEM is a great opportunity to spend some time on the playground of genetic engineering and to learn more about this young area of research. </p></td>
