  • Calin Plesa MSc.
  • For their constructive feedback and their continuous mentorship and patience


Department of biotechnology

Our iGEM team is kindly hosted inside the department of biotechnology. Also, several members of this department helped in reaching the end goal of our project.

  • Prof.dr. Gijs Kuenen for proving us with the theoretical aspects of carbon metabolism
  • Prof.dr. Fred Hagen for guiding us in setting up the potentiostat
  • Dr. Linda Otten for her help and training on the plate reader machine
  • Mrs. Elena Kulevic for helping us with taking care of the administrative procedures for funding and creating invoices
  • Dr. Rosario Medici for her valuable advice concerning the plate reader machine

Bionanoscience department

  • Mr. Daniel Lam provided us with microscope training and helped us manipulating the FACS machine
  • Núria Taberner Carretero for tutoring us on how to use the Confocal Microscope and advising on the sample preparation
  • Nadine Bongaerts, master student and former iGEM team member, for providing us tips and tricks on how to conduct our fundraising and PR campaign to gain media attention
  • Maithili Krishnan, master student and former iGEM team member for providing the team with the mKate2 gene, as well as for helping us to find samples from last year that were requested by other iGEM teams
  • Bharath Kumar, former iGEM team member for helping us to find samples from last year that were requested by other iGEM teams.
  • Victor Marin Lizarraga for teaching us how to make microfluidic devices, helping us out with equipment and making some microfluidics masters for us
  • Dr. Yaron Caspi for helpful discussions about microfluidics
  • Sriram Krishnan for providing some microfluidics masters, instructing us how to use them and helping out when problems came up
  • Ilja Westerlaken for helping us using the plate reader
  • Michela de Martino for helping us with the widefield fluorescence microscope
  • Marc Zuiddam for the production of golden electrodes on a silicone wafer that were to be used for curli resistance measurements

ChemE department


3mE

  • Mr. Jos van Driel, tehnical specialist helped us with setting the device for the curli resistance measurements and borrowed us a desktop that accepts the PXI system

Leiden University

  • Dr. Sylvestre Bonnet, assistant professor (tenure track) for giving us knowledge on metals and diversity of aspects of redox reactions

Rotterdam University

  • Dr. Ing. E. Kamst

Experts

  • Mr. Jos van Winsen, chairman of the Safety committee of Applied Sciences Faculty of Delft University of Technology for raising awareness among students on the possible risks that the project could represent and for making sure that the proper health measurements would be undertaken.

External laboratories

  • Dr. Caroline Ajo-Franklin and Dr. Behzad Rad from Ajo-Franklin Research Group, part of the Molecular Foundry (Berkeley Lab) for providing us with essential DNA material for the constructs of the EET module.
  • Prof. Shimshon Belkin and Dr. Sharon Yagur-Kroll of the Institute of Life Sciences of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for providing us with essential DNA material for the constructs of the Landmine Detection module.
