Teamwork
Jenny Bakker
Team captainexpand_less
Besides being being involved in almost everything as the team captain, Jenny modeled the biosafety circuit in E. coli (supervised by Robert) and made a proximity based biosafety circuit in the lab (supervised by Jurre and Stijn).
Delielena Poli
Secretaryexpand_less
As a secretary, Deli was our queen of organization. She has also worked hard on the iGEM PIPE (software) (supervised by Robert) to give us great advice on metabolic engineering strategies.
Morris Pouw
Treasurerexpand_less
If you want to talk about money, then Morris is your man! Together with Riemer, he also made an engineered E. coli strain to be our synthetic methanotroph (supervised by Eric) using the pMMO enzyme.
Riemer van der Vliet
Head of Scienceexpand_less
Riemer was always on top of all the science projects to make sure all projects fit together. Besides that, he worked on the creation of a semantic database (supervised by Robert) and methane conversion by E. coli using the sMMO enzyme (supervised by Nico and Lorenzo).
Sophieke Lems
Lab managerexpand_less
Sophieke engineered a synthetic denitrification pathway in P. putida together with Anemoon (supervised by Lyon, Maria and Luis) and made sure everything in the lab was very well organised.
Thomas Roersma
Biosafety officerexpand_less
As biosafety officer, Thomas made sure that both we and our project will always be safe! Besides that, he worked on engineering nitrification in P. putida (supervised by Max).
Sanne van Doorn
Head of Human Practicesexpand_less
Sanne modeled the nitrification and denitrification pathway (supervised by Robert). In the lab, she worked on minimizing nitrous oxide release (supervised by Lyon, Maria and Luis). She enjoyed getting in contact with stakeholders to make sure our project fits their needs.
Sophie van der Vlugt
Head of Outreachexpand_less
Sophie built a methane-based biosafety circuit in the lab (supervised by Despoina) and was responsible for our interaction and engagement in society.
Marta Patrian
Head of Designexpand_less
Marta made P. putida and E. coli auxotrophic so they can only survive together (supervised by Nico and Lorenzo). Together with the design team, she made sure the designs on the wiki and the presentations look flashy.
Anemoon Drinkwaard
Wiki managerexpand_less
Besides coding this beautiful wiki, Anemoon also made the biofilter model (supervised by Robert) and worked together with Sophieke on engineering a synthetic denitrification pathway in P. putida (supervised by Lyon, Maria and Luis).
