Meet the DTU team! Our team is made up of 10 students and 4 supervisors competing in this years iGEM competition. This year's team representing DTU consists of a diverse group of students, both culturally and scientifically. This means that we get to learn so much from each other, professionally as well as culturally. As we are studying at a Technical University, we are given an even greater opportunity to really flex our brain-muscles and be innovative. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter! 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, time management and all other practical details ourselves.

Chris Workman |
Scientific BackgroundChristopher Workman is associate professor at the Center of Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS) at DTU. Dr. Workman has nine years of combined biotech industry and post-graduate experience. This includes three years of postdoctoral training in a leading Systems Biology lab at the University of California, San Diego headed by Dr. Trey Ideker. During this period he led a project that resulted in a map of transcriptional regulatory pathways that control the DNA damage response in yeast and a first author publication in Science. Dr. Workman has developed a number of bioinformatic tools and analysis methods that support research in transcriptional regulation. He has extensive experience analyzing gene expression microarray data from almost all technology platforms. In particular, he has pioneered improved methods of Affymetrix probe-level data analysis and has contributed to the widely used Bioconductor project. He has also contributed as a developer for the Cytoscape open source project. (source: http://www.phenoxigen.eu/index.php?id=3 |
Mogens Kilstrup |
Scientific BackgroundMogens Kilstrup received his master degree in 1986 in biochemistry from the University of Copenhagen as well as his PhD degree in Molecular biology in 1992. After a Post doctoral position at DTU from 1993, he was appointed as associate professor in 2000 and advanced to professor in 2008 at Center for Systems Microbiology (CSM) at DTU. Professor Kilstrup´s areas of expertise include gene regulation, microbial physiology, and molecular biology, with emphasis on medically and industrial important bacteria as ''Salmonella enterica'', ''Escherichia coli'' and ''Lactococcus lactis'' using both genetic and DNA recombinant techniques. Special expertise is found in the area of stress response and the genetics and physiology of nucleotide metabolism. Current major research project is the analysis of global regulatory networks (stress response) in ''L. lactis'', including physiological studies, proteomics (2D-gel electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry), transcriptomics (transcriptional analysis using DNA Microarray), and biochemical characterization of regulatory systems. He is the author or co-author of more than 25 scientific papers that have been cited more than 900 times, and has international collaboration with a number of scientific groups. |
Peter Ruhdal Jensen |
Scientific BackgroundPeter Ruhdal Jensen is professor and leader of the Center for Systems Microbiology at the Institute of Systems Biology (DTU-BIOSYS). He finished his education at DTU as a civil engineer in 1988, later he also got a PhD from DTU. He had a post.doc position at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in the Netherlands from 1992 to 1994. He has been associate professor at DTU from 1995 and became professor at DTU in 2006. His areas of research include Systems Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetics and Microbial Physiology. Professor Ruhdal Jensen works with microbiological systems and applies control analysis and modeling to describe complex properties of biological systems. He uses both bacteria and yeast as model systems, with focus on bacteria for industrial production processes. He has been the author or co-author of more than 80 articles, and has collaborated with a number of research groups around the world. |
Sébastien Lemire |
Scientific BackgroundSebastien Lemire has a post.doc position at the Center for Systems Microbiology (CSM) at DTU. He arrived in Denmark in May 2009 after a PhD in the lab of Lionelllo Bossi in Gif-Sur-Yvette, France and 2 years of post-doc in the lab of Tetsuro Yonesaki at Osaka University, Japan. He has also worked in the USA during his masters degree and there the virus for phages infected him and he got interested in the genetics approach to biological questions. He is especially interested in the regulation of lysogeny in Salmonella prophages and how those phages contribute to Salmonella virulence. |
