Tutors

Johannes Kaiser

Is a: Ph.D. in Biochemistry and the Manager of [http://www.bioss.uni-freiburg.de/cms/geschaeftsstelle.html| BIOSS]

iGEM team role: Main supporter for funds and equipment

Tobias Knust

Is a: Ph.D. in Microbiology/Biochemistry

iGEM team role: Instructor of a team that does not need a instructor (ok, very little).

Is proud of: what the team has achieved.

Likes: my famlily, microbes and proteins

Philosophy: Anything is possible, with a little help from a friend.

Catch phrase: "Nein!" (aka "D'OH")

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.

Hemin Faraidun

Is a: M.Sc in Molecular Biotechnology, PhD student studying molecular immunology

iGEM team role: Instructor

After attending the iGEM 2009 as a student I couldn't resist when I heard that the 2011 team from Freiburg was looking for an instructor. It's really great to see everything from the instructors side and I like the way the team has grown together.

Philosophy: changes will only happen if we do the opposite of things we are used to

I study biology in Freiburg and I just finished my bachelor thesis when I heard that the iGEM team of Freiburg was looking for another team member. I was really happy to join them and support the team in the lab and with the wiki page. It is a really good opportunity for undergraduate students to improve their lab skills, their teamwork and also to learn how to organize everything.

Catch phrase:

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.
