Also in 2013, a highly motivated team of 13 undergraduate students of the University of Heidelberg enrolled in programs of Molecular Biotechnology and Systems Biology, is taking up the challenge to compete with 222 other teams from all over the world. Find out more about our team members below!
Ralf Beer - Mr. Sarcasm
Ralf is a 3rd year bachelor student of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Heidelberg. After an internship and practical trainings, iGEM is the first big opportunity to get real insights and expertise in the design and realization of scientific projects for him. Since there is almost no time for anything else until the Jamboree is over, he will be grateful to spend more time making music as a percussionist and doing something where fresh air, daylight and beautiful landscapes are involved, afterwards. In the iGEM project he is mainly involved in the domain shuffling wetlab subproject.
Tania Christiansen - Mrs. Design
Tania is a 2nd year bachelor student of the Heidelberg’s program of Molecular Biotechnology. She has done a few internships so far but wanted to "do her thing", which is why she joined the iGEM Team. Afterwards, she is going to spend a few weeks in the US for an internship and then studying in Denmark for one semester. Tania worked on the module shuffling project and put a lot of hours into the design and realization of the team's website. She would recommed joining an iGEM Team to anyone! Everyone experienced a steep learning curve, not only improving wetlab skills, but also learning how project development works and how to adapt to constantly changing conditions as well as lack of sleep.
Konrad Herbst - Mr. Coffee
Apart from participating in iGEM this summer, Konrad finished his Bachelor thesis in Molecular Biotechnology and is going to continue with his master studies in late autumn. He is not only curious about science and nature but also (computer) technology and engineering. For Konrad a good start in the morning strongly correlates with his first coffee, optimal applied in group with some of the other team members. The rest of the day mainly consists of experiments for the Indigoidine subproject or of computer work.
Nikos Ignatiadis - Django Unchained
Double majoring in Molecular Biotechnology and Mathematics, Nikos is very interested in interdisciplinary approaches to understanding biology. Previously, he applied this interdisciplinarity by working with constraints-based models of metabolism. Having also had experience with synthetic biology by designing a modular system for in-vivo mutagenesis, he is now very excited to join the iGEM team of Heidelberg. iGEM is a unique opportunity to put everything into practice in an environment promoting open science and collaborative effort. Nikos is also fascinated by the biology of Indigoidine, non-ribosomal peptides, as well as their modularity.
Ilia Kats - The Force
Ilia has received his Bachelor's degree in Biosciences at the University of Heidelberg, where he is now studying Systems Biology in his 2nd master semester. As a Linux user, he has contributed to several open source projects, most notably KDE NetworkManager and simpleSTORM, gaining experience in C++ programming and software design. He did several internships in Heidelberg's labs over the past years, working both in bioinformatics as well as molecular biology. And yes, he is a nerdy geek. So don’t mess with him or your laptop might suddenly refuse to cooperate.
