Academic Sponsors

Several institutions at the Technical University Munich (TUM) funded our team for this years competition. This generous support enabled us to cover the initial team registration, the jamboree fees as well as the travel expenses and most of the material costs for our wet lab.

Technical University of Munich (TUM)

Text



Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan (TUM)

The Center of Life and Food Sciences Weihenstephan adresses 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.

Chair of Biological Chemistry of Prof. Dr. Skerra

The laboratory in which we performed most of our lab work was located in the Chair for Biological Chemistry which is headed by Prof. Dr. A. Skerra. He provided us with a fully equipped lap and also covered all the consumables that are allways needed but never listed.

Industry Sponsors


Biomatters

Biomatters Ltd. created one of the most powerful software-packages availible for the in-silico analysis and manipulation of DNA- and protein-sequences. For the duration of iGEM 2013 competition they provided us with a licence for every team-member.

Promega

With a portfolio of more than 2,500 products covering the fields of genomics, protein analysis and expression, cellular analysis, drug discovery and genetic identity, Promega is a global leader in providing innovative solutions and technical support to life scientists in academic, industrial and government settings. Originally, founded in 1978 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, Promega has branches in 15 countries and more than 50 global distributors serving 100 countries. Promega supports our iGEM Team by providing the Nano-Glo® Luciferase Assay System, the Vac-Man® Laboratory Vacuum Manifold, the PureYield™ Plasmid Miniprep System, the CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay and the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System.

New England BioLabs

New England Biolabs is a recognized world leader in the discovery, development and commercialization of restriction endonucleases and DNA modifying enzymes for recombinant DNA technology. They kindly provided us with their NEB iGEM-Support Kit including the Quick-Load 2-Log DNA Ladder (0.1-10.0 kb), the BioBrick Assembly Kit (incl. restriction enzymes EcoRI-HF, PstI, SpeI, XbaI as well as T4 DNA Ligase), Antarctic Phosphatase and the Q5® High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix.

Eurofins

Eurofins MWG Operon, part of the Eurofins Scientific Group, is an international provider of genomic services around the core business lines next generation sequencing, custom DNA sequencing, oligonucleotides, siRNA and gene synthesis. We were offered their DNA-sequencing and oligonucleotide synthesis services at favourable conditions.

IKA

The Ika Group is a German provider for premium laboratory and analysis technology who has gained a leading position in the world market with its innovative magnetic stirrers, mixers, overhead stirrers, shakers, homogenizers, mills, rotary evaporators, calorimeters, laboratory reactors and specially developed software for laboratory and analysis applications. For the homogenization of our moss we used their Ultra Turrax T25, courtesy of IKA including the accessories kit.

Qiagen

QIAGEN N.V., a Netherlands holding company, is the leading global provider of Sample & Assay Technologies that are used to transform biological materials into valuable molecular information. QIAGEN markets more than 500 products around the world, selling both consumable kits and automation systems to customers through four customer classes: Molecular Diagnostics (human healthcare), Applied Testing (forensics, veterinary testing and food safety), Pharma (pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies) and Academia (life sciences research). QIAGEN supported our efforts in the iGEM competition by providing us with their QIAprep® Spin Miniprep Kit.

MathWorks

MathWorks is the leading developer of mathematical computing software. Engineers and scientists worldwide rely on its products to accelerate the pace of discovery, innovation, and development. We used MATLAB for our modeling.
