David Lund
MSc student in Biotechnology at Chalmers. While lately I have developed an interest in computational biology, I joined iGEM to get some hands on experience in the lab. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing music, spending time with my friends and ingesting inhumane amounts of coffee. Certified workaholic.
Dharmik Hitesh Patel
MSc student in Environmental Science at the University of Gothenburg. I have almost completed my Master's thesis. Being in iGEM was my wish since many years, and thanks to team Chalmers, I am a part of it. I like to be in the lab all the time.
Ellen Sandén
MSc student studying Complex Adaptive Systems at Chalmers. By being part of iGEM I have truly learnt the difference between something working in theory and in practice. I have also realized that most of the time I prefer being in front of a computer screen rather than in the lab, even if nothing quite compares to seeing the successful results of a PCR run after fifteen failed ones.
Emma Andersson
MSc student in Biotechnology at Chalmers. The reason I joined iGEM was to get some real experience from a project that I actually cared about, and not just for the sake of grades. During my free time, I enjoy most activities involving music. Playing it, listening to it, dancing to it and thinking about it.
Erik Jiresten
BSc student in Biotechnology at Chalmers. Although I will continue with a master’s degree in Industrial ecology, I hope I will be able to take the knowledge I’ve gained in the iGEM project and apply it to my new field of study. Student by day and dedicated podcast-listener by night.
Moa Lord
MSc student in Biotechnology at Chalmers. I joined iGEM to get some experience in the lab, but also to apply everything I have learned in my education so far. Because of iGEM, I can count my social media addiction as work but also try out the life of a graphic designer, a dream come true. I have also developed a new nightmare during iGEM: incomplete lab notes and unlabeled tubes…
Tilia Sellden
MSc student, studying Complex Adaptive Systems at Chalmers and I would like to state that our iGEM team is one complex adaptive system. So who am I? Probably the more positive input. There have been many ups and downs during our iGEM year, but I am convinced that the output will exceed Davids expectations.
Tim Eckerström
MSc student in Biotechnology at Chalmers. I am fond of wet-lab work and attention, so you will see me in the Jamboree presentation! In doing iGEM, I feel like I have really developed my interest for continued research, and also reasonable working hours.
