| We thank Prof. Herrmann for supporting us and his "Schirmherrschaft" over our project. This does not only make us feel like we are really representing the Technical University Munich but also equips us with the hope that we did not only start an iGEM team at the TUM, but also that younger students will proceed our work and also participate at te next iGEM competition. Thank you very much for the appreciation of our work and effort!
|
|
| We would also really like to thank all people working in [http://www.e14.ph.tum.de/ Prof. Simmel's group, E14] in the chemistry/physics department/ZNN. A lot of our work would not have been possible without your help and support. Thanks for providing us your technical equipement and for offering us working space, virtual space and a coffee machine. We also thank the whole Simmel group for nice conversations in between measurements, patience, help and for just accepting us in their group!
|
|
| We also like to thank Prof. Simmel himself for his personal effort, there are not many professors around who pay the registration fee from their private money without knowing if they will ever get it back... (don't worry, he got it back in the end). And of course for the initiation to start an iGEM team at the TU Munich and finally adding some of the TUM's glamour to iGEM ;)
|
|
| In Prof. Simmels group there are more people we would like to thank in person. Especially Helene Budjarek for her endless patience in the lab, showing us everything, introducing us to everything, caring for everything...
|
|
| Maximilian Weitz and Korbinian Kapsner for their help with in vitro transcription and PAGE, for supplying us with enzymes if we run out of them again and for nice company during measurements.
|
|
| Ralf Jungmann for organizing an internal wiki and for responding to emails even on weekends and also for being a very nice person in general.
|
|
| Andreas Müller and Stephan Renner for being such nice roommates in the ZNN.
|
|
| Special thanks also to Erika Bischofs for organizing everything for us and Dagmar Meier for managing our bank account.
|
|
| Furthermore we would like to thank the [http://www.bio.ph.tum.de/ E22] group who also helped us a lot by sharing their instruments and lab space with us. Our gratitude especially goes to [http://www.bio.ph.tum.de/index.php?id=66 PD Dr. Woehlke], where all our S1 work took place as well as the in vivo measurements. Sorry, we blew an Erlenmeyer flask in your shaker...
|
|
| ...and [http://bionano.physik.tu-muenchen.de/ Prof. Dietz] who provided excellent help all the time, no matter if we asked for supply or help with our simulations or crititical feedback concerning our project itself. Thank you very much for the willingness to help us and the support which can not be taken for granted.
|
|
|
| We would also like to thank our former advisor Christoph Klingner, who left us (and the Simmel group) in spring. Christoph, you're missing the trip to boston...
|
|
| We would also like to thank Melissa Poynor from Prof. Groll's chair for our cutest little mascot, the one and only E. coli. Thank you very much also for many agarose plates, cloning into pSB1C3 would have been a lot harder without!
|
|
| Furthermore we would like to thank Andra Jebelean, a student at the University of Erlangen in Padagogy for translating our abstract into Rumanian and French and for proof-reading our flyers if they fit for non-biochemists. Thank you so much for your effort! Our gratitude to Carina Mann, Rudi Wachtel, fellow Biochemists at the TU Munich, Manuel Martinortiz, Elena Formato, Daniela Korthöwer, Ala El Din Samara and Kristine Steen Jensen for helping us translating our abstract.
