Team:TU Eindhoven/Team Supervisors

My name is Anke Boschman and I will take on the role of lab captain, meaning I will be responsible for all the exciting experiments we will perform in the wet lab. Together with Glenn, the modelling captain, I will keep an overview of all the tasks and information and we will schedule and organize the team meetings. At the moment, I’m a second year student at the Eindhoven University of Technology. I’m enrolled in the bachelor Biomedical Engineering. I joined this year’s iGEM team because I like to challenge myself and I believed iGEM would be a really nice challenge since it combines the field of synthetic biology with model based engineering. I also liked the fact that you would be able to conduct your own research during a team project. Moreover, I’m curious whether full time lab work would suit me and iGEM seemed like the opportunity to get in touch with this kind of work. I hope that after bringing this iGEM project successfully to an end, I have acquired some nice skills that I’m able to apply often in my future activities. In the future, I hope I will be enjoying executing scientific research – although I do not yet know whether this will be in the field of synthetic biology.

My name is Boris Arts and I’m part of the modelling team. Next to my main role, I make sure all expenses will be covered by enlisting sponsors. Currently I’m a third year student studying Biomedical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology. I joined the iGEM team to do research in the field of synthetic biology because this is one of my areas of interest. Also I think it is a good way to experience how to build a research from the ground up and to apply everything you learned during the courses to the real world. After iGEM I will continue studying in the field of biomedical chemistry and biomaterials, focusing on designing new materials used for tissue engineering and pharmaceuticals.

My name is Glenn Cremers and I’m the captain of the modelling team. I’m responsible for all the modelling that needs to be done in the project. I’m currently studying in the second year of the bachelor Biomedical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology. I joined the iGEM team, because I wanted to work on a challenging project which hasn’t been done before allowing us to create our own project and the experiments we are going to do. Also I’m using iGEM to determine if the modelling part combined with the field of synthetic engineering is something I would like to specialize in. After iGEM I hope to have learned how to do my own research and experiments, and hopefully I’ll be able to decide if this field is something I would like to continue with.
