Attributions

We want to say thank you to all the wonderful men and women who have helped us during this project. We couldn't have done it without you.

Team members

The attributions of the different team members will soon be added to this page

Supervisors

Christopher Workman
Chris has been the supervisor for the DTU Biobuilders since the beginning and is always ready to answer any questions, be it about iGEM or science. He has done a lot for our team. We would not be the well-oiled machine we are today if not for him, and we would probably be sitting in a corner crying if it wasn’t for his guidance.

Henrik Toft Simonsen
As the CEO of Mosspiration Biotech IVS & Associate professor at DTU, Henrik is a great supervisor who knows how to motivate us during crunch times. He's able to bring an almost business like aspect to the project which makes the project seem more relevant than ever and we are happy to have him on board.

Kyle Rothschild-Mancinelli
As an iGEM alumnus and PhD student working with fungi, Kyle not only knew when to push us to keep up with the time-schedule, but he always pushed us to factually justify anything we did for our project. His drive and expectation made us want to do better and the experience wouldn't be the same without him.

Wetlab

Jakob Blæsbjerg Hoof (DTU Bioengineering)
Expert on Aspergilli and generously provided us with the Aspergillus niger strain ACTT1015 and the plasmids containing PyrG and the homology regions.

Jakob Kræmmer Rendsvig (Ph.D. student at DTU Bioengineering)
Most generously provided feedback, plasmids, and guidance throughout the project. His help has been invaluable for our successes.

Fabiano Jares Contesini (DTU Bioengineering)
Provided us with a protease deficient Aspergillus niger strain.

José Luis Martinez Ruiz (DTU Bioengineering)
Helped us with advice on fermentation in bioreactors.

Clara Navarrete Román (Postdoc at DTU Bioengineering)
Helped us with using the BioLector.

Zofia Dorota Jarczynska (Postdoc at DTU Bioengineering)
Provided advice on how to optimize the protoplasting protocol and provided feedback, advice and support with regards to fungal transformation and cloning.

David Lokjær Faurdal (DTU Biobuilders 2018)
Helped with the execution of the BioBrick Tutorial 2019 and occasional guidance and help in the lab.

Lina Lyng Sigfredsson Nielsen (DTU Biobuilders 2018)
Helped with the BioBrick Tutorial 2019.

Marie Millgaard (Msc. student at DTU)
Helped with the BioBrick Tutorial 2019.

Joen Haahr Jensen (DTU Biobuilders 2018)
Developed systems for organizing our DNA inventory in 2018 that was also used in 2019.

Drylab
