TU Delft iGEM Team
The 2010 Team is made up of nine student from both Life Science & Technology (LST) and Mathematics & Computer Science (EEMCS). Together with 3 supervisors we worked throughout the summer in the Enzymology Lab of the Kluyver Laboratory at the TU Delft.
In March 2010 we started with brain storming on our project. It lasted untill May before we finally choose our topic and started designing our Genetically Engineered Machine. With this design we will compete in the iGEM competition.
Our goal
Of course we will try to win the competition. But at the same time we would like to increase the awareness of Synthetic Biology among the general public and the academic community. We discuss this extensively on our Education and Safety pages.
Team Organization
Already early on in the project the several managerial tasks were devided among the team members. And right after we came up with our project topic, sub teams were formed for each section. By doing so everyone got the chance to use their experience while learning from eachother.
| Name | Position | Task | Sub Project |
| Mathias Voges | Student | Alkane Degradation | |
| Kira Schipper | Student | Organizational manager | Alkane Degradation |
| Nadine Bongaerts | Student | PR & Fund-raising | Hydrocarbon Sensing |
| Luke Bergwerff | Student | Ethics & Safety | Modeling |
| Hugo Cueto Rojas | Student | Salt & Solvent Tolerance | |
| Pieter van Boheemen | Student | Fund-raising & Finance | Emulsifier |
| Jelmer Cnossen | Student | Modeling | |
| Eva Brinkman | Student | Lab Manager & PR | Emulsifier |
| Ramon van der Valk | Student | Salt & Solvent Tolerance | |
| Aljoscha Wahl | Supervisor | ||
| Alessandro Abate | Supervisor | ||
| Esengül Yildirim | Supervisor |
Planning
Dwight Eisenhower already knew that plans are nothing; planning is everything. Especially concidering the little time in which the iGEM project has to be completed, a rough planning was adopted right from the start. We divided the project into three phases:
- Ready? - Brainstorming phase
The team members get to know each other, get a working knowledge of each other’s topic and start generating ideas. - Get set... - Design phase
The students define the biological design which they want to carry out, together with the project specifications. - Action! - Full time work
The (wet-lab) realization of the system and the evaluation of its performance.
Later on this resulted in the following planning:
