The team consists of seven students from Amsterdam's two universities: the VU and the UvA. In the short paragraphs below, you can find out a bit about who they are and what role they play in team iGEM Amsterdam 2011.

Jantine Broek

Studies: Biomolecular Sciences
Team Role: Public Relations

As a biochemistry and biophysics major, I am interested in what makes the cell tick on the molecular level. I chose to participate in iGEM, not solely for the interesting research, but also because of it being a unique opportunity to develop other qualities related to scientific research: PR skills, sponsoring skills, communication skills, creative skills and, of course, the subtle art of teamwork. Moreover, I hope we'll make it to the finals in Boston! See you there?

Paul van Dieken

Studies: Biomolecular Sciences
Team Role: Maintaining wiki, labwork and a bit of everything else:)

I'm a student at the Biomolecular Sciences master at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. When it comes to research, my main interests are genomics and proteomics with a focus on medical applications. As iGEM is in large part both genomics and proteomics I am very excited to have joined the iGEM team of Amsterdam 2011. The aspect of synthetic biology also greatly interests me as many exciting opportunities in this newly developing field.

Isoude Kuijper

Studies: Systems Biology
Team Role: Modeler

After completing a BSc study in Biology, Isoude noticed she would like to do some more math and modeling in her study and decided to become a System Biology student. The study is not only interesting for the nice balance of biology, math and programming but also because it is a combined study of the VU and UvA. Isoude likes long walks, and boardgames.

Jorick Mul

Studies: Systems Biology
Team Role: Deadline manager and labwork

After completing a BSc study in Biochemistry, Jorick wanted to do a master study in which he could learn more about data processing of lab results. This is why he started with the MSc "Systems Biology" in Amsterdam. He finds the study very interesting and is very happy to be a part of this iGEM team. His interests lie mostly in music and drumming. Of course he likes partying with his teammembers.

Sandra van der Nat

Studies: Biology spec. Science communication
Team Role:

Lorem ipsum set dolor...

Bas Stringer

Studies: Systems Biology
Team Role: Lab Manager

Having completed a BSc study in Biology, Bas decided to continue at the VU, studying Systems Biology. His interests include molecular and microbial biology, programming and modelling. He plays bass guitar in a band, practices dim mak and karate, and likes to party as much as the next student, if not slightly more so.

Yuri van Warmerdam

Studies: Systems Biology
Team Role: Protocol design, lab work

Having completed his Bsc in Biochemistry, Yuri went on toStart his Msc in Systems Biology. He is most interested in combining lab work with computer modelling. He also strongly believes in the ability of Synthetic Biology to create sustainable energy sources and cradle to cradle consumer products. In his spare time he likes gaming, comics and hosting parties in his beautiful new house.
