My name is Cecilie Cetti Hansen. I am studying for my B.Sc in Biotechnology. I like to work in the lab and have found an interest in plant based synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. It motivates me to be a part of developing ideas and to obtain new knowledge in this field. I like coffee and eating ice cream with my twin sister. In my spare time I enjoy being in the garden, especially in the summer time when it is full of flowers, berries and vegetables.

My name is Henrik Munk Frisenvang. I have a bachelors degree in Biology-Biotechnology from Copenhagen University. In my bachelor year I primarily focused on plant pathway discovery for the purpose of heterologous production of high-value plant compounds. I have currently completed the first year of my masters’ degree in Biology-Biotechnology at Copenhagen University. I have spent the first semester of my master’s degree in New Zealand where I did a research project on the Vitis vinifera transposonactivating properties of yeast. I joined iGEM because I think that multidisciplinary team of dedicated students sounds like a fun and interesting group to be part of and can achieve exciting results.

My name is Owik Herold-Majumdar and I am a Master student at the University of Copenhagen in the field of Biotechnology. I have Bachelors in Molecular Biotechnology form the Technical University of Munich. I also got in touch there with iGEM but had never the opportunity to participate in the competition. I think iGEM is a great chance to put theory in practice by performing an individual project. Moreover, I like the aspect of creating an own small researcher community within iGEM which creates a great network with valuable contacts. Last but not least, is iGEM a lot of fun especially with a nice team like we are!
