PHILOSOPHER'S STONE

igem-2013

Lorenz Adlung - mR. NA

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.

Katharina Genreith

Fanny Georgi

Fanny is a master student of the Molecular Biotechnology program in Heidelberg, where she also received her Bachelor's degree. 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.

Tim Heinemann

Tim started his scientific education with the Bachelor program of Theoretical Biophysics at the Humboldt University Berlin. 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.

Charles Imbusch

Hannah Meyer

Hannah also is an iGEM veteran, having participated as a student member of the Heidelberg iGEM team 2009. 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.
