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.

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

Marcus Medom Ryding

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

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

Elisavet Angeli

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.

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.
