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.
Together with the smartest professors on SDU, we decided to participate in the international iGEM competition, to find new ways to solve the challenges the world faces today, kick ass and have fun at the same time.
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 Frederiksen
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.
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.
