The 2014 DTU iGEM team is an ambitious team consisting of eight graduate students, four advisors and three main supervisors with a total of five different nationalities. We share a deep interest in chemistry, biotechnology and synthetic biology and work dedicatedly in the cross-disciplinary environment of iGEM. Our group possesses a useful combination of valuable competences, comprising skills in molecular biology, biochemistry, mathematical modelling, scientific programming, project management, entrepreneurship as well as scientific and non-scientific communication. Combined our team has a keen interest in state-of-the-art biotechnology and is eager to contribute to the field of synthetic biology.
Fun is fundamental. There is no way around it. You absolutely must have fun. Without fun, there is no enthusiasm. Without enthusiasm, there is no energy. Without energy, there are only shades of gray.
- Doug Hall
To create and maintain a dynamic group and enjoyable working atmosphere as well as to keep up our enthusiasm when sitting inside a laboratory while getting snap-chatted by friends on the beach. We of course also went out sunbathing and swimming, enjoyed some cold beers, traditional Danish dinners, and delicious ice creams during the summer.

Motivation My great interest in synthetic biology is one of the main reasons why I’m participating in iGEM. The great thing about synthetic biology is that we are not only examining and observing nature, but applying it in new contexts. This together with the the fact that it is a field experiencing rapid development and has a huge future potential.
iGEM is a unique opportunity for me to be a part of an ambitious team and to develop a project from absolute scratch to final jamboree. It is amazing how different iGEM projects are and I’m looking forward to seeing this year's contributions. |

Advisors
During the project we have had help from a number of university staff and iGEM alumni. These advisors have given us tips on how to use our time efficiently, optimizing protocols and strategies in the lab, and designing the wiki.
