I was introduced to the iGEM team in May and immediately saw great potential. Therefore I am truly honored to be an instructor on their project and look forward to lots of fun and good science over the summer.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Synthetic Biology presents an interesting challenge to apply reliable protocols from molecular biology to alter and control the functionality of complex living systemsThe results of such endeavors are far from predictable and give scientists a realistic perspective on the interconnectivity, programmability, and complexity of living systemsThis is an exciting time for students interested in living systems to try to reprogram them in specific and quantifiable ways.

<p style="text-align: justify;">This is my second year participating as an advisor for the SDU iGEM teamI am very pleased to see growing interest in the students who seek to educate themselves in this new field of synthetic biologyAnd their initiative in pursuing high-risk projects warms my heart.  I am so pleased with the degree of success they have achieved due to their hard work, creativity and relentless determination. I think I have learned more from their example then they have learned from me. 
As an associate professor at SDU, I am primarily interested in developing laboratory models of complex systems that have life like properties.  This is done through my participation in the research center called FLinT (fundamental living technology).  Currently my research lies in physics and chemistry, but my interests are based in biology and evolution.

The team of students here came together under common interest, self organized and effectively initiated training in Synthetic Biology at SDU.  It is a pleasure for me to support their initiative, energy and curiosity.

As a supporter throughout the summer I have become truly impressed by the SDU iGEM team enthusiasm and genuine interest in science. They really make things happen, both in the lab and outside!

Associate Professor, Department of physics and chemistry, University of Southern Denmark. The aim of my research is to construct a computational model of a living cell that has predictive power for problems of biological interest on length and time scales of microns and milliseconds to seconds.

This includes biophysical processes such as:<br>
 +
 +
•  Optimizing a drug delivery vehicle for delivering its payload to membrane-bound receptors<br>
 +
•  Signal transduction from the plasma membrane to the nucleus via motor-assisted transport vesicles<br>
 +
•  Pattern formation of receptors in the cell membrane<br>
 +
•  Sensitivity analysis of signalling networks in the presence of nanoparticles<br>
 +
•  Nanoparticles interacting with the plasma membrane<br>
 +
•  Engulfment of foreign objects into a cell<br>
 +
The techniques I use are particle-based simulation methods such as Dissipative Particle Dynamics, Brownian dynamics, Molecular Dynamics, and theoretical tools such as reaction-diffusion equations, non-linear differential equations.

I was introduced to iGEM as the 2009 SDU team was my lab neighbour which I bitched and moaned about because they were jabbering, taking up all the lab space and “borrowing” my stuff without returning it. I guess I was asked to be part of the iGEM this year so that I could no longer bitch and moan but rather be responsible for the team's interplay with the other people in the lab. Jokes aside, I hope to bring knowledge and lab experience to the team and I am very excited about working with this very diverse group of people and look forward to all the science we are going to make and all the fun we are going to have, although there has been a serious lack of cake!

I also participated in last year's iGEM competition on team SDU-Denmark. This year, I'm back as an instructor which has been exactly as much fun as being a student. I wish my team all the best during the competition.

I'm a PhD student at SDU Department of Physics and Chemistry. I remember from my younger years when I was a master student in biotechnology taht I read about the iGEM competition and wishing to be a part of it. Unfortunately, at that time there was no team at my university. I see now that participating in the iGEM competition as an advisor is just as exciting as being an iGEM student. <br><br><br><br><br><br>
