After finishing my Ph.D. thesis I joined the team as an instructor just before we began the lab work. We needed to settle in and build up the equipment in the empty lab. Since many things were missing at the beginning (e.g. PCR tubes), we could spent many hours discussing and improving the project. | After finishing my Ph.D. thesis I joined the team as an instructor just before we began the lab work.

The first time I heard about Synthetic biology and iGEM, was during my first year on the University. I decided to be part of an iGEM team at some day. So last February I took in hand and ask Ruediger... and lucky me... Sadly I couldnt stay in Freiburg so I just was able to work in the lab till the end of August, but nevertheless it was a great time and valuable experience I don't want to miss out. | The first time I heard about Synthetic biology and iGEM, was during my first year on the University.

I joined the team in april as the computer scientist of the group and was supposed to do the Wiki and the mathematical modelling. I had to leave them by the end of July, due to a cool internship opportunity, so unfortunately that didn't leave us any time for the modelling part, nor enough for the Wiki. Even so, I am still grateful for the chance I was given to work with such dedicated and nice people. |
