About us

We are the iGEM team of the LMU Munich that will take part in this year’s iGEM competition. Our team consists of 15 highly motivated bachelor and master students in the fields of biology, biochemistry and informatics. Our team is advised by four experienced PhD students and also supported by Prof. Dr. Thorsten Mascher, who has a professorship for Synthetic Microbiology at the LMU.

About CAS^LMU

The "Center for Advanced Studies" at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) is a forum for intensive interdisciplinary academic exchange. It promotes cooperation between outstanding researchers from various LMU departments and fosters participation of visiting scholars in research and academic life at LMU. In 2012 the LMU iGEM Team used the “Synthetic Biology Conference” hosted by the CAS^LMU at the LMU Bio-Center as a great opportunity to invite several national and international iGEM Teams. As you can see here the whole event has been a great success on both, scientific and social levels.

This year, encouraged by CAS^LMU, we invited all national iGEM Teams to participate in an international workshop about “Synthetic-Biological Tools for Single Cell Analysis” taking place on Monday, May 26 in the CAS^LMU. Besides international and national scientific speakers e.g. Erez Braun (Haifa) or Roland Wedlich-Söldner (Münster) some iGEM Teams get the chance to present their project ideas and discuss them with the audience. For further information about the CAS^LMU workshop visit its Calendar of Events.
