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!

KU Leuven Support

We were able to participate in the iGEM competition thanks to Prof. Joris Winderickx and the KU Leuven BioSCENTer, the Center for Bio-Science, Bio-Engineering and Bio-Technology.
We did our molecular biology experiments in the Laboratory of Molecular and Synthetic Biology under supervision of Johan Robben and his lab members. We would like to thank all of them for the help and advice they've given us during the summer.
Thanks to the Centre of Microbial and Plant Genetics and especially Elke Van Assche, David De Coster and Tine Verhoeven for their help and patience during our qPCR adventure.


Another big thank you to the other lab on the second floor, the group of Prof. Giovanni Maglia and his Nanopore devices for their help and support in finding our way through a hall with identical doors with media, buffers, ... hiding behind them!

Finally, thanks to Cathy Hendrickx, who helped us take care of our finances; to Anouk Desmet, an invaluable part of the iGEM selection committee and a rockstar in ISP organisation; to Liesbeth Van Meerbeek for continuously adapting the iGEM BioSCENTer website to our wishes and to Mimi Deprez, for her calm in the face of press deadlines and meetings and ... access to the printer for our poster ....

KU Leuven Help

We are thankful to professor Luc Anckaert from the KU Leuven for supervising the ethical part of our project and also his contribution to the article on Hans Jonas in Tertio. We would like to thank the Institute of Philosophy of the KU Leuven for their hospitality and the collaboration between this department and the KU Leuven iGEM team.
We would like to thank professor Kristel Bernaerts from the department of Chemical Engineering for her kind advice towards the modelling team.
We are thankful to professor Johan Suykens from the department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT), professor Jan Degrève from the department of Chemical Engineering and professor Dirk Roose from the department of Computer Science for their useful advice on our oscillator model.
We would like to thank Tim Tambuyzer for his time to explain us the possibilities of motion tracking.
We are thankful to dr. Joke Allemeersch from Nucleomics Core for the information regarding the nCounter technology.
We are grateful to professor Abram Aertsen from the Centre of Microbiological and Food Technology for his expertise on implementation of networks in vivo.

Outside of KU Leuven Support

We were invited by the companies Biobest and pcfruit to perform experiments with aphids, their predators and plants. We would like to thank them very much that they've opened their laboratories for us, helped us perform the experiments and shared their knowledge.

Outside of KU Leuven Help

First of all a big thanks to the Hub Zwart, professor of Philosophy at the faculty of science of the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, for his contribution to one of the three articles, published in Tertio, on ethical aspects of synthetic biology. Moreover, we thank him for his lecture and seminar on September 26th 2013.
We are grateful to professor Bert Blans, emeritus professor at the School of Catholic Theology of the Tilburg University, The Netherlands for his contribution to the article on Hans Jonas in Tertio.
Thank you to Flore's dad for the artwork on our flyer and key-chain gadget - it will travel the world through iGEM.
The wiki team would like to thank Jan Luts for his help in designing the wiki page. If you also want an awesome site like this one, you can contact him via his LinkedIn account.
