Sponsors

We would like to thank our sponsor University of Southern Denmark, for funding our iGEM project. Especially we would like to thank dean Henrik Pedersen and the Faculty of Science at University of Southern Denmark - we are truly grateful for having this amazing possibility.



Laboratory support

We would like to thank Associate Professor, Ph. D. Jakob Møller Jensen and the Microbiology group and also the rest of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for letting us use their lab, providing laboratory equipment and helping us to do our work.

  • Our instructors Academic Assistant Tina Kronborg, post doc Ann Zahle Andersen, stud.cand. Patrick Rosendahl Andreassen, stud.cand. Andreas Kjær and stud.cand. Thøger Jensen Krogh have helped us the entire summer, when crying for help. We are really grateful for all your help, in every situation.
  • Ph.D. fellow Maria Storm Mollerup helped us with general questions in the lab.
  • Academic assistant Eva Maria Sternkopf Lillebæk helped with western blot and provided us with a Bacillus subtilis strain.
  • Ph.D. fellow Sabrina Brøner helped us getting doxycyclin.
  • Associate professor, Ph.D. Jakob Møller Jensen helped with fluorescense microscopy.
  • Post doc Anders Boysen helped with western blot.
  • Medical Laboratory Technician Simon Rose introduced us to lab safety and behavior and helped us with our safety form.
  • From the University of Copenhagen professor, Ph.D., head of Section for Molecular Plant Biology, vice head of Copenhagen Plant science Centre Poul Erik Jensen who sent us a Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 strain.
  • Stud.Bsc.Sc. Kristian Davidsen from DTU provided us with USER polymerase.
  • Professor, Ph.D. Nils Joakim Færgeman helped us design a GC experiment.
  • Ph. D. fellow Eva Bang Harvald provided us with Caenorhabditis elegans and information about what to do.


Events support

We would like to thank everyone who has helped us promote our project and iGEM by helping us arranging our events.
  • Student house Odense arranged an event where we could tell about iGEM and synthetic biology and hold a quiz night.
  • Southern University of Denmark let us promote our own project and iGEM by having us at the study trade fair and at sundhedsmekka.
  • The former SDU iGEM members who met with us and heard about our project and what thoughts we were having.


General support

We have received a lot of help during our project - also help that was not in the lab or specific for the execution of our project. We would like thank all the people that have helped us one way or another.
  • DTU had arranged a crash course in the lab for Danish iGEM teams and introduced us to primers, USER cloning and the design of the team wiki.
  • KU arranged an ethics workshop for Danish iGEM teams.
  • YSB arranged and held the UK iGEM meet-up and allowed our team to join the meet up and told us more about synthetic biology and had arranged different workshops.
  • Everyone all over the world, who has answered our questionnaire about GMO and what they think about it being a food resource.
  • Jane Fornitz from the company Ibsing & Fornitz ApS introduced us to the different types of personalities and how to work together with different personalities - this has been a great help for the teamwork.


Technical support

  • Post doc Ann Zahle Andersen helped us with programs used for modelling.
  • Stud.cand. Patrick Rosendahl Andreassen, stud.cand. Andreas Kjær and stud.cand. Thøger Jensen Krogh have helped us with sequencing results.
  • Stud.cand. Thøger Jensen Krogh helped us designing our team wiki.


Modelling

  • Stud.M.Sc. Nicky Cordua Mattsson helped us with the modelling of our system.
  • Post doc Ann Zahle Andersen helped us all the way with our model.
