Who we are

We are ten motivated students from Bielefeld University (Germany), who are working together to gain experience in teamwork, synthetic biology and realizing a great project together. We are also interested in connecting with other teams and to collaborate with them.

Team

Lukas Rositzka

Studies: Molecular Biotechnologie

Motivation: iGEM - for me as a student a unique and exciting opportunity to be part of a team of young and dedicated scientists beyond the confines of university seminars and to design, implement and present a joint project in synthetic biology.

Sebastian Grenz

Studies: Genome-based Systems Biology, Master

Motivation: I´m interested in working in an autonomously organized team and in developing a very own project from the planning stage through to successful completion. Synthetic biology offers, due to its modular structure, numerous opportunities for exciting projects. iGEM is considered the most prestigious competition in the field of lief sciences and enables contact and competition with teams from around the world.

Motivation: iGEM ​​is a unique opportunity beside of the study to gain new skills and develop existing skills. From the idea to the product team members decide how they structure their project themselves and make the necessary decisions independently. It is a prestigious competition in the life sciences, which also accounts for the attraction at this high level to conduct research and to compete with international teams.

Studies: Molecular Biotechnology, Bachelor

Motivation: The most intersting part for me about iGEM is the challenge to generate new metabolic pathways and to reprogram biological systems, by the skillfull combination of BioBricks.
