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.
Tom Tubessing
Studies: Molecular Biotechnology, Bachelor
Motivation: Der rasante Fortschritt im Bereich der synthetischen Biologie faziniert mich ständig aufs Neue. Ich bin überzeugt, dass auf diesem Gebiet gewonnen Erkenntnisse, wenn sie verantwortungsvoll eingesetzt werden, allen Bewohnern der Erde zugute kommen können. Nun nehme ich am iGem-Wettbewerb teil, um zusammen mit meinem Team unsere eigenen Ideen umzusetzen und so neue Anwendungen für diesen jungen Wissenschaftszweig aufzuzeigen.
Manuel Schüler
Studies: Molecular Biotechnology, Master
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.
Matthias Ruwe
Studies: Molecular Biotechnology, Master
Motivation:
Thorben Meyer
Studies: Molecular Biotechnology, Bachelor
Motivation: For me, iGEM is about being creativ on a nanobiotechnological/engineering level and working application-oriented. So that we are able to give smart and plain answers to complex problems.
Tore Bleckwehl
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.
Fabian Thomas
Studies: Molecular Biotechnology, Bachelor
Motivation:
Anna Korszanska
Studies: Genome-based Systems Biology, Master
Motivation: iGEM is a good introduction to scientific work for me. I get to know many exciting methods in synthetic biology and work my way into new fields and topics of natural science.
Nadiya Romanova
Studies: Molecular Biotechnology, Master
Motivation: I strive to understand life using the tools of synthetic biology. iGEM offers a unique opportunity to develop organisms with novel properties.
Supervisors
| Nils Lübke | Timo Wolf |
We are guided by two graduate advisers, Timo Wolf and Nils Lübke, who were members of previous Bielefeld iGEM-Teams. They were team members in 2010 and 2011 and now helping us with their experience and knowledge. |
| Dr. Jörn Kalinowski | Dr. Christian Rückert | Also we are actively supported by professors and lecturers, namly Dr. Jörn Kalinowski (member of the executive committee from CeBiTec and Head of Research Group Microbial Genomics and Biotechnology, Prof. Dr. Alfred Pühler (Senior Research Professor at CebiTec at Bielefeld University), Prof. Dr. Erwin Flaschel (holds the Chair of Fermentation Engineering at the Faculty of Technology at Bielefeld University) and Dr. Christian Rückert (Postdoc at Research Group Microbial Genomics and Biotechnology). |
