Supervisors

Thorsten Heidorn

Researcher at the Department of Photochemistry & Molecular Science.

Primarily I am interested in using photosynthetic microorganisms such as green algae and cyanobacteria for the biotechnological production of valuable products, particularly the potential future energy carrier hydrogen. About 4 years ago I got in contact with the idea of synthetic biology for the first time and saw immediately the big potential of this approach for my research. Last year I initiated the first iGEM team in Uppsala which was a great success, and now it comes year number two...

Students

Antonio Ascue Avalos

Program: MSc Engineering Molecular Biotechnology

Age: 25

Background: Swedish student with Peruvian roots

Why I wanted to participate in iGEM: I heard about synthetic biology for the first time in a evening course and loved the combination of different fields in synthetic biology and the standardized engineering vision it has. That suited very well with the broad range of diverse courses I´ve studied in my programme. I became very curious how synthetic biology would work in practice hence iGEM is the perfect opportunity to get a flavor of this exciting new field and cooperate with people with the that same interest.

Interests: meeting people and friends, my family, biotech, synthetic biology, green sustainable techniques, playing piano, listen and dancing salsa, windsurfing, football, psychology, etc

Why I wanted to participate in iGEM:iGEM provides a great deal of freedom to explore and develop our own ideas. Due to interdisciplinary nature of the work, we learn a lot more about the other fields and learn to work in a team.

Why I wanted to participate in iGEM:Synthetic Biology has always been a fascinating subject for me. Bringing imaginations to reality by meddling with genes is quite a fun. The iGEM competition not only kindles our creativity but also helps us learn and think. This is also a good ground for learning to work as a team and together we can work wonders! I am happy to be a part of this and I am quite confident our team will succeed in our attempt.
