<p>As the main responsible for the drylab side of the project, I established our choice of model and wrote the software to build models and sample promoters from them.
 +
I was also involved in our molecular design work, where I worked to promote modularity and standards compliance, both in the selection and design behind individual parts, but especially on higher levels of abstraction, in our designs and assembly strategies for devices and backbones, aiming to embed our work into the growing ecosystem of Type IIS assembly standards.

<p>Throughout this project I have mainly participated in the wet-lab through work with filamentous fungi and fermentation, though I also lend a hand whenever it was needed in the molecular part of the wet-lab.<br>
 +
Furthermore, I worked a lot with outreach, including being head of the social media group, teaching high-school students, and working with integrated human practices. Finally, I have also helped arrange and host several team-building activities. </p>

I have also partaken in the design and set-up of the wiki. Additionally, I have planned and attended many of the outreach activities, ranging from integrated human practices to non-integrated human practices and education of high school students.

<p>I have been a jack of all trades and been a part of almost all of our lab work in some way, but my main responsibilities have been fungal work, including transformations and data generation. In addition to this, I have been in the drylab team, were I have been a big part of the work with promoter design, including looking at features, what promoters to work with, and how to create our model. Lastly, I have been involved with the  collaborations and creation of the educational material. </p>

<p>During the project my primary focus has been on the fungal work; preparing protoplasts, fungal transformations, etc. However as a jack of all trades, I have been working in the lab wherever the need has been the greatest, be it designing parts, molecular work, or whatever might be required. Additionally, I have helped secure funding for the project.

I have been the go-to guy, whenever someone needed to spend money. In the lab I have been involved in the molecular design of the project, it involved the design of new parts.  <p/>

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.

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.

Kyle has been a strong asset throughout the entire iGEM project. His strong interest in the project has meant that he constantly pushed us toward a better project with expert facts and deliberations, not really regarding how long each individual suggestion would take, which resulted in many long nights, but we definitely wouldn't have wanted to be without them.

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

Marcus Medom Ryding

As the main responsible for the drylab side of the project, I established our choice of model and wrote the software to build models and sample promoters from them. I was also involved in our molecular design work, where I worked to promote modularity and standards compliance, both in the selection and design behind individual parts, but especially on higher levels of abstraction, in our designs and assembly strategies for devices and backbones, aiming to embed our work into the growing ecosystem of Type IIS assembly standards.

Helena Utzon

Throughout this project I have mainly participated in the wet-lab through work with filamentous fungi and fermentation, though I also lend a hand whenever it was needed in the molecular part of the wet-lab.
Furthermore, I worked a lot with outreach, including being head of the social media group, teaching high-school students, and working with integrated human practices. Finally, I have also helped arrange and host several team-building activities.

Louise Almer

In the process of this project, I have mostly worked with the fungi and fermentations but I have also stepped in other places where it has been needed.
I have also partaken in the design and set-up of the wiki. Additionally, I have planned and attended many of the outreach activities, ranging from integrated human practices to non-integrated human practices and education of high school students.

Mikkel Hansen

I have been a jack of all trades and been a part of almost all of our lab work in some way, but my main responsibilities have been fungal work, including transformations and data generation. In addition to this, I have been in the drylab team, were I have been a big part of the work with promoter design, including looking at features, what promoters to work with, and how to create our model. Lastly, I have been involved with the collaborations and creation of the educational material.

Jacob Mejlsted

During the project, I have been the main responsible for the handling of safety forms and the organization of the laboratory. Over the summer, I was also the main responsible for the cloning part of the laboratory as well as organizing and systematizing the samples, storage and notations that we have been using.

Philip George Hau Sørensen

I have been the main responsible for task delegation and administrative work. I have also been heavily involved in the experimental design for this project, designing both parts and cloning strategies. In addition to this, I have also assisted Jacob in the lab with cloning work during the summer. Lastly, I have been involved with the economic side of the project, contributing to fundraising efforts and budgeting for the team.

Philip Thomsen

During the project my primary focus has been on the fungal work; preparing protoplasts, fungal transformations, etc. However as a jack of all trades, I have been working in the lab wherever the need has been the greatest, be it designing parts, molecular work, or whatever might be required. Additionally, I have helped secure funding for the project.

Mathias Laursen

During the project my focus has been divided into two main areas: The economic side of the project and lab work. I have been the main responsible for applying for funds, budgeting, and accounting. I have been the go-to guy, whenever someone needed to spend money. In the lab I have been involved in the molecular design of the project, it involved the design of new parts.

Elisavet Angeli

As a member of the drylab group, my role was mostly to search relevant literature and analyse different datasets that would be used in the development of the software and finally in the synthesis of our library of promoters. Furthermore, I assisted in the wet lab part of the project when needed.

Michelle Lind Østrup

I was the main responsible in the development of the wiki. Almost all code and all illustrations have been created by or at least been passed by me. Also if you like the t-shirts and our banners, then I designed those as well. If you didn’t like them…then I still made them.

Supervisors

Christopher Workman (Associate Professor, DTU Bioengineering)
Chris is the core of the DTU Biobuilders. With all of his experience with previous iGEM teams, he has been able to guide us through all the rough patches of the project as well as delivering critical input for both the work in the lab and in the coding department.

Kyle Rothschild-Mancinelli (iGEM Alumnus and Ph.D. Student, DTU Bioengineering)
Kyle has been a strong asset throughout the entire iGEM project. His strong interest in the project has meant that he constantly pushed us toward a better project with expert facts and deliberations, not really regarding how long each individual suggestion would take, which resulted in many long nights, but we definitely wouldn't have wanted to be without them.
