Following iGEM, she is going to proceed with her Master’s thesis in Oncolytical Adenoviruses at the German Cancer Research Center. She worked on bioengineering and translational approaches like therapeutical vaccines or immunotoxins in several labs around the world from Texas to Bavaria. Fanny definitely carries the wanderlust gene, so if she is not in the lab, she travels the world and its kitchens. She supported the team in regards of financing and human practice, as well as lab organization and motivation. "> |

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 HS 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. So far, each iGEM experience has been an exciting, enriching, fun and absolutely unique and Dominik is very much looking forward to be part of it again this year. "> |

As she really appreciated the idea of completely student-driven and designed projects and the creativity which is possible in the scope of the iGEM competition, she is really looking forward to supervise this years team. Hannah studied Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Heidelberg where she just recently finished her M.Sc. with a major in bioinformatics. In October, she is going to pursue her studies in the field of bioinformatics, starting a PhD in Ewan Birney's group at the EBI in Cambridge. Apart from science, she really loves to cook and bake and the team often has to 'suffer' from her eagerness to bring in cakes, cookies or other sweets. "> |

| - | <div id="LorenzAdlung" class="teamimage"> | + | <div id="LorenzAdlung" class="teamimage"data-name="Lorenz Adlung - mR. NA" data-desc="An enthusiastic folk who always looks a bit tired though. He is pursuing his PhD in the Division Systems Biology of Signal Transduction at the German Cancer Research Center, enrolled at Heidelberg University where he studied Molecular Biosciences and completed his Master's degree in Systems Biology at the BioQuant institute in 2012. He thinks of mathematics as an inherent property of nature as Pythagoras already did. His passion and his free time is limited but mostly dedicated to Synthetic Biology as he was a student member of two iGEM Teams in 2010 and a supervisor of the team that won the Grand Prize of the iGEM High School Division last year.

After three inspiring years of introduction into the world of Theoretical Biology, he moved to Heidelberg and joined the Master program of Molecular Biosciences with a major in Systems Biology at the University of Heidelberg. Currently, he is a Ph.D. student in the Theoretical Systems Biology group led by Prof. Thomas Höfer at the German Cancer Research Center. The focus of his studies lies on the mathematical modeling of nucleotide-excision DNA repair in mammalian cells. As an iGEM alumnus, he never really managed to let go from this exciting competition and is looking forward to spend thrilling months with the iGEM Team Heidelberg 2013. "> |

| - | <div id="KatharinaGenreith" class="teamimage"> | + | <div id="KatharinaGenreith" class="teamimage"data-name="Katharina Genreith - Mrs. Creative" data-desc="Katharina received her M.Sc. degree in Cancer biology at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in 2010 and is currently in her third year of PhD in the Department of Molecular Metabolic Control headed by Prof. Stephan Herzig. Her PhD thesis deals with novel pathways involved in diabetes and atherosclerosis. In her free time she is mentoring the “Synthetic biology” group at the Life-Science lab - an unconvential education initiative for high school students at the DKFZ (https://www.life-science-lab.org/cms/). In 2012, together with Dominik, Tim and Lorenz, she was advisor to the first German high school student team participating and winning the Grand prize in the iGEMHS competition. In her opinion the best thing about iGEM is the spirit of innovation and boundless creativity that is present throughout the competition. "> |

| - | <div id="RolandEils" class="teamimage"> | + | <div id="RolandEils" class="teamimage"data-name="Roland Eils - The Godfather" data-desc="Prof. Eils is again the head of the iGEM Heidelberg team. He provides the laboratories and all the required equipment. Besides, he will sponsor the traveling and participation costs. Thank you very much! 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! |
