University of Freiburg

AG Weber

The lab of AG Weber is an extremely experienced lab in the field of synthetic biology. Prof. Wilfried Weber has the first professorship in synthetic biology in Germany. Not only he was supervising us in our project but he also was providing us with a lot of informations and materials we received a lot of support of the whole group. Additionally we want to point out the support of our PI, Prof. Gerald Radziwil as well as many Ph.D. students of the lab:

  • Dr. Matias Zurbriggen for providing us with knowledge, plasmids and support.
  • Konrad Müller and Hannes Beyer for a lot of plasmids, introduction to light systems and a lot of know-how.
  • Balder Rebmann for great input concerning the VEGF experiments.
  • Sabrina Wend for general advices and plasmids
  • Frauke Bartels-Burgahn, Dr. Natasha Sprossmann, Susanne Knall for all the technical support and a lot of endurance answering all our stupid questions.

BIOSS administration and Toolbox

BIOSS is an excellence cluster of the University of Freiburg. This institute was founded in 2008 and provides an interdisciplinary environment for as well fundamental and synthetic signalling research.
A division of this institute is the Toolbox [http://www.bioss.uni-freiburg.de/cms/index.php?id=308], that provides plasmids, cell lines and antibodies for all groups associated with BIOSS. The facility provided us with lab room, a lot of equipment, support and funding of our project. We want to thank the whole BIOSS administration and especially we would like to thank Dr. Johannes Kaiser and Kari Reulecke who provided us with a lot of support concerning legal and financial questions.

AG Driever

We want to thank Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Driever for discussing our project with us and Theresa Schredelseker for supporting us in questions of testing the system in vivo.

University of Stuttgart

AG Jeltsch

Prof. Albert Jeltsch from the University of Stuttgart is an expert on epigenetic modifications and supported us with know-how and plasmids concerning our epigenetic modification project. His group focusses on enzymes catalyzing epigenetic modifications. Especially we want to thank Dr. Srikanth Kuditipudhi who helped us troubleshooting our cloning strategy.
