Stephen has just finished his 4th semester as a '''student of molecular biotechnology''' at the University of Heidelberg. He believes that biology can contribute to solutions to major challenges of the 21st century like the growing water and food shortage in many regions of the world. But in his opinion modern biology will only unfold its full potential if it will be based on a systematic foundation. This is the reason why he is fascinated by the ideas of synthetic biology. | Stephen has just finished his 4th semester as a '''student of molecular biotechnology''' at the University of Heidelberg.

Team MembersAdvisorsUndergraduatesMichael BartoschekMichael is a bachelor student of Molecular Biotechnology at the Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg. He has recently finished the 4th semester. He likes the idea of synthetic Biology and iGEM. He is looking forward on working with a highly motivated, young team and learning much about arrangeing own scientific projects. E-Mail: michael ät bartoschek.org Simon HaasTim HeinemannCorinna HillerCorinna has finished her bachelor thesis about experimental and computer-associated search for p53 inhibiting agents with subsequent crystallography at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) as a student of Molecular Biotechnology. As one of 30 other students she will start with the master of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Heidelberg in October. The iGEM competition demonstrates a unique opportunity to organize a scientific project and to meet a young inspirational team of students. E-Mail: corinna.hiller ät arcor.de Nao IwamotoNao is a Master student of Cancer Biology at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). During his Bachelor's program in Theoretical Biophysics at the Humboldt University to Berlin he gained his strong enthusiasm towards Systems Biology. Before joining the iGEM team Heidelberg '09 he worked as a student research assistant in the lab of Dr. Ursula Klingmüller (Systems Biology of Signal Transduction) at the DKFZ. Being a member of the iGEM team Heidelberg '09 he is looking forward to contributing to the exciting project on the theoretical side and is glad to share a wonderful summer with the students.

E-mail: kraemer ät uni-hd.de Hannah MeyerDouaa MugahidBiology for a better life is what Douaa believes in. Coming from a country where the availability of food and better health care is always an issue for the masses, she believes that as a biologist who can use science for the help of better, cheaper industrial/agricultural/medical use she has a lot to give to her own country and the masses at large. For those reasons Douaa studies Biotechnology as an undergraduate, but being faced with the immense costs that people are faced with in that industry in general made her want to think of how to bring them down. In silico optimization of biological processes away from the workbench in the lab seemed like the best idea, which is why she is currently doing a masters in Systems Biology at Heidelberg University. Being part of the iGEM team this year makes her know that as biologists there is so much we can do that is creative, useful and eventually cost effective and widely available for all researchers all over the world. E-Mail: douaa.mugahid ät gmail.com Anne RademacherHannah UckelmannHannah is a student in the second semester of the Molecular Biosciences Masters Program with the major Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Heidelberg. She completed her bachelors degree in biochemistry at the Florida A&M University in the states. She has experience in obesity and cancer research and hopes to be able to contribute greatly to the wet lab work in this years iGEM project. She is excited to work on this fascinating project with a great group of students! E-Mail: hannahuckelmann ät yahoo.com Lars VeltenAfter finishing high school, Lars spent a year volunteering in Development Cooperation, selling solar power to Massai people in northern Tanzania. Perceiving plants as the better solar cell, and also interested in everything else (but urchins), he turned to study Molecular and Cellular Biology at Heidelberg U, where he has now finished his 4th semeseter. He collected some wetlab experience during an internship with Kartsten Weis' lab at UC Berkeley, where he worked on a project studying proteome turnover. He is looking foward to working in synthetic biology. E-Mail: velten ät stud.uni-heidelberg.de Bingqing ZhaoChenchen ZhuAt present, Chenchen is a bachelor student of Molecular Biotechnology. He had studied Informatics in China for one year. After half-year learning of German in Berlin, he moved to Heidelberg and furthered his study in Molecular Biotechnology. He will continue with the Bioscience master Program, major in infectious disease this October, as his main interest is in microbiology, especially in the research of Hepatitis B Virus. As a member of the iGEM team Heidelberg, he will try to integrate his theoretical and experimental skills both in Biology and Informatics in the next few months. E-Mail: jimmyzcc ät googlemail.com |
