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.

I am lucky that I could join such a dedicated team of students being able to apply my skills in biochemistry, microbiology and bioinformatics and thereby helping the students in improving theirs. I had never thought that I could advance my talents such a great deal while having so much fun.

Rüdiger is the one who basically built up this years iGEM team. He had to talk to half of the biology faculty

trying to organize a place where the project could take place.
 +
The years before Dr. Christian Müller was the leader of the iGEM teams of Freiburg and everything was performed in his lab, but after he moved to Potsdam, the iGEM team of Freiburg had to find a new place, a new suppervisor and so on.

His motivation was contagious and he has a talent for keeping the overview thus being able to give instructions to people.The team wrote this description for him because he was too busy at the time modelling the precipitator.

I was a member of the team right from the start (since April we have been meeting up regularly) <br/>and could therefore contribute to the organisation of the project. In the process of the build-up I was responsible for extra funding and managed to attract all the sponsors that you can see in the disclaimer below who helped us finance this project.

movement.Why I am calling myself the 3A-assembly master has only one reason: I was the only one who could clone succsessful into the linerazied pSB1T3-vector.

My speciality and important contribution to the project was the successful cloning into the linerazied pSB1T3-<br/>vector, which is why I call myself the 3A-assembly master. It was not an easy task because of the many times<br/> the results showed an unsuccessful cloning. Nevertheless we all tried again and again until we were rewarded with a successful result.<br/>

I can only agree with my team mates: working on this project over the whole summer, I have learned so much about <br/>Synthetic Biology as well as organisation and the importance and all the benefits of team work! Great experience!

I had learned about iGEM from Rüdiger in '09 and quickly got to following the developments with interest - i had been astonished of what students were attempting in their projects; so it is not really surprising that i was in right away when asked whether i'd lend a hand as part of this year's philosophy department for team Freiburg. It have been quite a few four-hour train rides by now, long hours in the lab, a lot of headaches over biological contexts i'd never heard of before but wanted to understand and the phrasing of the SynBioOath.... all worth it.

I just finished my 3rd year of the BSc degree in Freiburg and change now to the ESBS Strasbourg.
 +
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.

I first studied Computer Science in Romania and now I am almost finished with my master in Bioinformatics and System Biology in Freiburg. I joined the team in april as the computer scientist of the group (noone really needed my bioinformatic skills :P) and was supposed to do the Wiki and the mathematical modelling. I had to leave them in August, due to a cool internship opportunity, so unfortunately that didn't leave us any time for the modelling part . Even so, I am still grateful for the chance I was given to work with such dedicated and nice people. Oh, and I was also the photographer of the group for that period :P.
