What facinates me about the iGEM is the chance of designing and realising such an enormous project, autonomously. As Co-founder of our team, I am really glad that we have established such a diverse team, together exploring synthetic biology as a promising, novel field of reasearch. In my opinion, the iGEM-competition bears a unique potential not only to learn new biotechnological techniques and methods, but to gain experience in a lot of other areas such as engineering, public relations and fundraising. Moreover, the prospect to face and solve the challenges of participating in an international competition tempts me. I particularly await visiting Boston and taking part in the final Jamboree!!

If there i some time apart from working for the iGEM I love to go dancing or enjoy reading some thrilling books.
