Team:NTNU-Trondheim/Team
From 2013.igem.org
This is the third year a team from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is participating in the iGEM competition. Our team consists of five students with background in Biotechnology, Molecular Medicine and Medical Technology. Mostly our collective background is in molecular biology colored with biophysics, immunology and biotechnology. We have four advisors with different specialities! Rahmi is our lab-GOD and has all the answers. Eivind gives us money and inspiration, Martin is our GFP-expert and Gunvor with her past iGEM team experience has been alot of help! We are naive students that want to come up with crazy ideas that suporvisors are to experienced to consider an opportunity. Our project this year is HIGH-risk and it was almost immidiately clear to us that this was what we wanted to do this year. Considering the time-limit of iGEM it was an ambitous project and had everything gone as planned and expected we could have reached our goal. We still believe the project has potential and should not be abandoned. We'we all enjoyed working as a team and learned tons about synthetic biology and the potential this field has feels unlimited! We have had a lot of fun, the life of a scientist is like a rollercoaster of up's and down's but the exitement and curiousity of research will always be a strong motivator!
