TU M-Team.JPG

We are the proud representatives of the Technical University Munich. Our small team consists of a mixture of biochemists, biotechnologists, mathematicians and physicists. As a interdisciplinary group, we were able to combine many aspects in our project. Please note that we are the first real group of the TU Munich which participates at the iGEm for real (if you ignore the brief affair in 2008), so we are still beginners... You can get more information about us if you move your cursor over each of the boxes below. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us:
