Principal Investigators
Dr. Henrike Niederholtmeyer for agreeing to be one of our primary PIs after just arriving in Marburg. We are extremely grateful for all the feedback you gave us on our project and the time you invested in our meetings. Without your input on cell-free related topics, we would have surely missed a lot of important experiments to address in our project. Whenever there were any problems during the project we were sure to receive an answer very quickly and with this could easily solve problems that arose during the project. Thank you for accepting all of our DNA orders and safely depositing them on our bench. We cannot thank you enough for all you did!
Prof. Dr. Lars Matthias Voll for the immense support you gave us throughout the whole project! From workspace and equipment to scientific and organisational help, you were always ready to help us out. We are very thankful for all the feedback and advice you provided when something was not clear in the lab and for the many hours you spent in our meetings discussing problems with us - it was crucial to the development of our project! We are also incredibly grateful for your organisational support in getting us some room to have meetings in and supporting the iGEM initiative at the very beginning of the season, when it was not clear we could even do another full year of iGEM. We cannot thank you enough for all you did!
Instructors
René Inckemann for his advice and organizing our team. Without him this project would not have even started, once more he has proven to be the core, the backbone of our team. For years he has contributed to iGEM as a participant, advisor, judge and instructor. For us as a team he is a true inspiration and his feedback and dedication pushed us above and beyond what we thought was capable. You are iGEM. Sincerely, thank you!
