The iGEM 2010 Team Freiburg

https://2010.igem.org/Image:Freiburg10_Team_picture.png

We are a team of students consisting of 15 members. Beneath, there are 13 biology students specialized in various topics such as Biochemistry, Genetics, Microbiology, Plant Biotechnology, Immunology and of course Synthetic Biology.  Furthermore, our team has one student of physics and one student of informatics. Combining these abilities we handled the challenges associated with our project and realized it hand in hand. Over the past summer, the team of biology students worked in groups and was greatly supported by our instructors and supervisor. Each group consisted of 2-3 students and was specialized either on DNA cloning or on cell culture. These main topics were again divided into smaller ones, like for example ‘N-terminal fusion’ or ‘loop modifications’ of our virus. As our labjournal editings reached unlimited dimensions, we realized that we need further help.  Luckily our Physics and Computer sciences students reinforced our team and designed the wiki and created mathematical models.

Besides the daily laboratory work, we all spent some free time together, watching movies cooking, and having fun together. One of the funniest events was our canoe trip, sunny weather but however, wet conditionsJ For pictures see: [Link]

Student Members



 Achim Mall

Achim Mall

Achim is surrounded by an aura of silence. Pipete more than 100 qPCRs? No problem! Keep cool and then let’s go.

Citation: I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. (Douglas Adams)
 Adrian Fischer

Adrian Fischer

This is Adrian, he is not only one of the best in cell culture, but he brought music from all centuries (preferring the 90’s!) into our lives.

Citation: “You have to make the good out of the bad, because that is all you have got to make it out of." Robert Penn Warren
 Anissa Bender

Anissa Bender
 Anna Oschowitzer

Anna Oschowitzer

Anissa has skills in cloning and cell culture works, both without any difficulty. And if you need somebody to be really honest, she is the right person.
 Bea Kaufmann

Bea Kaufmann

Our ‘laboratory smurf’ is an organizing talent and takes care of the whole project and its single members.
 Christian Weingärtner

Christian Weingärtner

He is the real midiprep master, the nanodrop is overstrained when measuring these enormous concentrations.
 Fabian Haas

Fabian Haas

 Hanna Wagner

Hanna Wagner

The ITRs were nearly incomprehensible, until now! Here we have somebody with the fanciest methods and cloning strategies.
 Jessica Günzle

Jessica Günzle

Jessica is a multitalent. Planning our iGEM cajak tour, our trip and flight to Boston and working in the lab at the same time. That is great, man!

Citation: Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. (Edwin Powell Hubble)
 Kerstin Klingele

Kerstin Klingele

Our sweet little girl does great work in cell culture and using flow cytometry. You can be sure with every business, it is all in good hands.
 Kira Meyerovich

Kira Meyerovich

Laboratory experience is greatly available. And a very smart way of working, too.
 Max Schelker

Max Schelker

Max is our physician and a specialist in Systems Biology, he really knows how to handle data-based mathematical modeling.

Citation: "Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater." (Albert Einstein)
 Stefan Bergmann

Stefan Bergmann

If you think there is no helping hand, you’re wrong. Stefan is everywhere and has got the plans in mind.

Citation: "We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special." (S. Hawking)
 Volker Morath

Volker Morath

Guess who knows how to build a virus in his own basement. And if you need a straight opinion, go for Volker.

Citation: Quand tu veux construire un bateau, ne commence pas par rassembler du bois, couper des planches et distribuer du travail, mais reveille au sein des hommes le desir de la mer grande et large. (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
 Patrick Schindler

Patrick Schindler

He is a hard worker, whether there is something to do in the laboratory, or to eat meals for a whole team.

Citation: If You Want Peace, prepare for war. (Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus)
 Timon Schober

Timon Schober

Do you see this great wiki? Yes, this is the work of our great web programmer and computer scientist Timon.
