The iGEM competition not only aims to drive the development of new Biobricks. It also encourages to think about responsibilities, safety and risks in the field of biotechnology. Furthermore, iGEM is about working together and helping other teams in various aspects. Read more how we want to contribute to these goals.

Partners

We thank Prof. Herrmann for support 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 only start an iGEM team at the TUM and younger students will proceed our work. Thank you very much for the appreciation for our work and effort!


	We would also really like to thank all the people working in Prof. Simmel's group, E14 in the chemistry/physics/WS institute. A lot of our work could not have done without your help and support and none of our work could have been done without the equipement. Thanks for offering us a working space, virtual space and a coffee machine. And thanks even more for nice conversations, endless patience and accepting weird people running around in your corridors, changing every week. We also like to thank Prof. Simmel himself for his personal effort. Not many professors are willing to pay the iGEM fees with their personal money because there is no spot in a chair for "supporting crazy students in a hopeless project".

Our gratitude goes to E22, were all our S1 work took place as well as the in vivo measurements. Sorry, we blow a Erlenmeyer flask in your shaker... We would also like to thank Prof. Buchner for offering us workspace and support and of course for the education the Biochemists in our group enjoyed. Last but not least our gratitude to Prof. Grolls group for agar plates and especially to Melissa Poynor for our cutest little mascot, the one and only E. coli. Thank you very much!

Sponsors related to TU Munich

	We thank the [http://asta.fs.tum.de/ Fachschaftenrat der TU München and Asta] for supporting us in the name of the students of the TU Munich. We really appreciate you for trusting us with your StudiTUM money and the support from different departments and disciplines which is implicated here. Thank you very much!


	We thank [http://portal.mytum.de/studium/ausland/kontakt/ TUM International] for supporting us by paying our flights to the Jamboree! We are really grateful for your immense support which really made the day of nine lab students and relieved us from our biggest fears. We also really appreciate the support by the TUM presidency who granted the money.

Support Organizations

We thank the [http://www.daad.de/ DAAD], Germany Academic Exchange Service for supporting us from their international competition fund.

Industry

We thank [http://www.eurofinsdna.com/ Eurofins MWG Operon] for financial help. We really appreciate the effort you had in getting us an extra budget and are happy to get support from the industry. Thank you very much!

Lab sponsors

	We thank [http://www.biomers.net/ Biomers] for discount on their sequences. We needed a lot of them and delivery was always fast, talking with you about orders was always nice and quality and amount of DNA were excellent! Thank you very much!


	Like many other iGEM Teams we would like to thank [http://www.mrgene.com/ Mr. Gene] for their discount! Thank you very much for the good price!


	We would also like to thank [http://www.neb.com/ New England Biolabs] for offering a good price on their enzymes. We really loved working with them, cutting and ligating was not really fun but much easier! Thanks a lot for nice phone calls and a positive attitude towards our work with iGEM!

Press

First article and already headline! For all of you, who speak German, check out the [http://asta.fs.tum.de/asta/referate/panik/panik-archiv/ interview] Andreas Hubel conducted with us (panik 26). Well, the mean idea seems to be that our bacterias will lead the world one day, so beware of the iGEM Team TU Munich!
