Revision as of 07:03, 17 October 2014
UiOslo Norway
We are the norwegian team from the University of Oslo.
The team members
Håkon Høgset
About
Half human and half machine, Håkon obviously has difficulties expressing his sense of humor. He is designed to handle advanced concepts of philosophy, mathematics and molecular biology, but not to remember where his keys are. Håkon is studying for a masters degree in molecular biology at the University of Oslo. He has grown up at Lambertseter in Oslo, but despite of that he’s really doing ok. When he heard about IGEM he thought immediately that this was up his alley. Therefore he started recruiting people to the team in the student cafeteria.
Fun fact
Has curls, and is actually a real human.
Promise
If we win the grand prize, I'm buying a big, fat gold ring that I'm gonna wear for the rest of my life.
William Brynildsen
About
I am a 25 year old master student in molecular biology and more particularly I am using bioinformatics on next-generation data to investigate the evolution of transposons in cod (not the video game). I am also intrigued by the field of synthetic biology and the possibilities that lies within. My contribution to the project has been lab work and also some human practises. Beside all this school stuff I enjoy board games and playing the piano and the guitar and spending time with family and friends.
Fun fact
My dad was born in Africa.
Promise
If we win I will swim over the atlantic sea back home.
Vilde Olsson
About
I'm Vilde; 24 years old and currently taking my masters in plant genetics. I am passionate by (almost) everything in the field of molecular biology, so yes; a bit geeky. Outside the world of science I love downhill skiing, surfing and a good, cold beer (preferably accompanied by some good friends and snacks).
Fun fact
Is actually 2cm shorter than what her passport says, since she stood on her toes when they measured!
Promise
If we win I will spend a day hugging random people at the street - pretending to know them.
Sumaya Yusuf
About
I'm a 24 year old in my final year of the five year program in Pharmacy. I love learning about different subjects and for me pharmacy was the perfect of natural sciences mix. This interest is also why I joined the iGEM team. I like staying busy and having a lot to do. Which is why when I have a little spare time, I like to read even though I don’t always manage to finish reading a book I start on.
Fun fact
I’ve done cosplaying before.
Promise
If we win I will scream something iGEM related from the top of my lungs,as loud as I possibly can from the highest point in Oslo. I.E. "UiOSLO iGEM fricking rulez!" ...I’ll most likely have found a better sentence to scream by the time we’re in Boston.

Stian Lågstad
About
I’m studying informatics for technical and scientific applications. That fits me well, as I’ve alwayd been a huge computer geek. I’m interested in bioinformatics, so I’m planning to write my masters assigment with the biomedical informatics group at my university. When I’m not hammering away on my keyboard I can be found camping, playing football (read: soccer) or hanging out at my faculty’s student society: Realistforeningen.
Fun fact
Obsessed about the number 42.
Promise
If we win, I'm getting a synthetic biology tattoo.
Elina Melteig
About
I’m an extrovert, math-loving, partly nerdy person who believes that science makes the world a better place! I study bionanotechnology and in a years time I will finish my masters. When I don’t work on the iGEM-project I look for algae for my masters project. I love traveling and I’ve visited a lot of places. In addition I’ve taken a bachelor in Arabic, and I love learning other languages.
Fun fact
I learned to swim before I could walk.
Promise
If we win the big prize I will face my fear and watch “The Black Sheep” alone. In the dark.
Supervisors
Dirk Linke
My research group focusses on the structure and function of the bacterial cell surface.
Our work is typically comparative – we do not work on a single pathogenic “pet” organism, but instead compare related surface proteins from different species, studying their similarities and subtle differences. Our work is also interdisciplinary – we use methods from bioinformatics, structural biology and biophysics on top of classical methods from microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry.
