Who we are
We are eight students from the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), who found each other through a common wish to explore synthetic biology.
Students
Anna Linhardt Hansen
I am studying medicine on 5th semester at the University of Southern Denmark, and my motivation for joining SDU´s iGEM is numerous. First of all, studying medicine does not prepare the ground for scientific work, which I think is a petty. Second, I think its cool to make friends among different field of study. Third, but presumably most important; I would like to have some fun.
Julius Fredens
My name is Julius Fredens, I’m 24 years old and I study biochemistry and molecular biology at 8th semester. Although spending a lot of time in the lab doing projects on lipid metabolism in C. elegans and protein modifications in nerve terminals, I have never been in touch with genetic engineering or even worked with single-celled organisms.
When I think about all the opportunities in genetic manipulation, I can’t live without knowing the techniques. And learning this discipline by hands-on experiences together with a great team – in competition with others ;o) – sounds just pretty nice!
Kir Jacobsen
9th semester Biochemistry & Molecular biology, 24, experience with cell culturing, protein purification with focus on phosphoproteins and mass spectrometry. Additionally, experience with purification of DNA from tissue and copy number surveillance.
I always seek new areas of study, because I find the world of life sciences very exciting. When the opportunity came up to do something with bacteria, I was interested right from the start, because I havent really worked in the area of prokaryotes before and I was eager to explore it.
John Claesson
Anne Zebitz Eriksen
I am 20 years old and I have just finished my first year of the nanobioscience bachelor. I have great experience in project-management from the technical high school, but have very little previous experience with the microbiology lab. I joined the iGEM team because I always thought genetically engineering to be exciting and to gain valuable experience in this line of work. And mostly because it sounds fun.
Marc Trunjer Kusk Nielsen
Helle Bogetofte Thomasen
My name is Helle Bogetofte Thomasen, I am 23 years old and have just finished 5th semester of medicin at SDU. Regarding my motivation; I generally think that syntetic biology is a very interesting scientific field with great potentiel and I really look forward to joining the competition and meeting students from all over the world. I would like to work in medical research later on but our education doesn't really involve any lab work. So for me this iGEM project is also a great chance to get some lab experience and try some things that I would otherwise only read about. Beside from this I am strangely fascinated by bacteria ;o)
Mike Barnkob
Motivation: I found synthetic biology to be an exciting new field to explore. It has a lot of potential for real world applications and iGEM provides a perfect setup for us students to wrestle with new ideas and projects.
About me: I study medicine and am currently on my sixth semester here at SDU. I've worked on detecting LOH in a rare cancer called multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma at Odense University Hospital and spent some time at University of Illinois a summer ago trying to be helpful at Kelly Tappendens lab. My bachelor thesis had the inspiring name: A Systematic Comparison of Cystatin C Based Formula's and The Creatinin Based Schwartz Formula for Judging Kidney Functions in Children.
Advisors
Ann Zahle Andersen
I am a post.doc at the microbiology group of the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at SDU. I have a past I systems biology and mathematical modeling, but am currently researching in the field of food microbiology.
I was introduced to the iGEM team in may and immediately saw great potential. Therefore I am truly honored to be an instructor on their project and look forward to lots of fun and good science over the summer.

Where we're from
We are all from the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, which is located smack in the middle of Denmark. It's a small town of about 180.000 inhabitants, of which quiet a few are students.
