Prof. Dr. Zoya Ignatova

Managing Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Hamburg.

As our primary PI, Prof. Dr. Zoya Ignatova supported us in every way throughout the year and helped us to overcome the challenges of the pandemic. She gave us not only advice, but also inspiration for and confidence in our work. We also owe her many thanks for welcoming us wholeheartedly in her working group and providing us with lab space and everything else for our project.

Dr. Suki Albers

Staff Scientist at the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Hamburg.

Dr. Suki Albers advice and support was invaluable for our work in the lab. She was always there when we had to face a practical or theoretical challenge. Also, together with Prof. Dr. Ignatova, she helped us to choose one of the four projects that we prepared for this year's competition.
