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.

I knew about iGEM from enthusiastic students, the challenge and willing to do some thing new and scientifically attractive is not just an eye opening experience, but also encouraging to build up ideas and putting ideas in to action.

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.

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.
