Home → Team Description

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.

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:

-Don't get irritated by the term "Technical University" - we are a full university only focusing on science and engineering and are as good as any of you :)
-<br>
-While Munich may be mostly known for its beautiful city and the Oktoberfest (we call it "Wiesn"), we would like to help changing the face of Munich from beer drinking capital to a leading city in Synthetic Biology! Of course, we will drink some beer meanwhile...
-<br>
-We are a group of mostly Master Students in their first year, five of us major in Biochemistry, two in Biotechnology, we have one very nice and skilled mathematician and an informatic graduate student for help. This makes us a indisciplinary team with many possibilities.
-<br>
-Most of our work is done at Prof. Simmel's group at the biophysics departement: Thank you very much, E14!
