Acknowledgements and Contributions

We would like to thank everybody who has helped and assisted us in the process of making this project a reality!

The organization of our team is based on the bottom-up approach, and from day one we have been very self-sufficient, doing fundraising, laboratory work, experimental design, trouble shooting, time management and all other practical details ourselves.

We got support on different levels:

Administrative support:

The institute director of the Systems Biology Department Ole Filtenborg and Deputy Head of the Systems Biology Department Steen Heilmann have supported us with laboratory space, money and their unwavering faith in our team and project.

Theoretical and experimental support:

• A very special thanks goes out to associate professor Chris Workman, associate professor Mogens Kilstrup and professor Peter Ruhdal Jensen for getting our group together and for their expert guidance and advise within their fields of knowledge.
• Also a special thanks goes to Post.Doc Sebastien Lemire for invaluable experimental and theoretical advice and practical help, and to PhD student Hassan Hartman for invaluable experimental advice and practical help.
• Many thanks again goes to master student Jacopo Martini, PhD student Emmanouil Papadakis and yet again to associate professor Chris Workman for taking time out of their busy schedules to introduce us to GFP measurements with the BioLector.
• A very special thank you goes out to last years DTU iGEM team for all their advice and help that we received during the entire process.
• Thank you to assistant professor Sergio Rossell for advice on the modeling of our system as well as Flemming Hansen for his expertise in fluorescent proteins and Bjarne Albrektsen for practical help in the laboratory.
