The DTU'14 iGEM team is an ambitious team consisting of 11 graduate students, five advisors and three main supervisors with a total of seven different nationalities. We share a deep interest in chemistry, biology and biotechnology and work dedicatedly in the cross-disciplinary environment of iGEM. Our group possesses a unique combination of valuable competences, comprising skills in molecular biology, biochemistry, mathematical modelling, scientific programming, project management, entrepreneurship as well as scientific and non-scientific communication. Combined our team has a keen interest in state-of-the-art biotechnology and is eager to contribute to the field of synthetic biology.

Fun is fundamental. There is no way around it. You absolutely must have fun. Without fun, there is no enthusiasm. Without enthusiasm, there is no energy. Without energy, there are only shades of gray.
- Doug Hall

To create and maintain a dynamic group and enjoyable working atmosphere as well as to keep up our enthusiasm when sitting inside a laboratory while getting snap-chatted by friends on the beach, we of course also went out sunbathing and swimming, enjoyed some cold beers, traditional Danish dinners, and delicious ice creams during the summer.

Motivation I had several reasons for joining the DTU iGEM team. I wanted to follow all aspects of a project - from the idea generation to the experimental work as well as the communication and management involved in a big scientific project with several participants. Furthermore I would like to improve my team working skills and challenge myself. Major contributions Meeting coordinator and streak purification master. How do you prefer spinach? Fresh spinach leaves as main component in a salad together with feta cheese, red pepper and a nice oil-based dressing.

Motivation I joined our team to experience how to manage a scientific project from the very beginning and to the end, to improve my team working skills as well as to work with some crazy science. Of course being shielded from the sun by spending most of my waking hours in front of a lab bench during the summer also attracted. Major contributions Coordination of the fundraising and sponsorships as well as maintaining a sterile environment in the lab. How do you prefer spinach? Try frozen spinach on a pizza with onion, goat cheese and a lot of garlic - that is delicious.

Motivation My great interest in synthetic biology is one of the main reasons why I’m participating in iGEM. The great thing about synthetic biology is that we are not only examining and observing nature, we are applying it in new contexts, together with the fact that it is a field experiencing rapid development and has a huge future potential. iGEM is a unique opportunity for me to be a part of an ambitious team and develop a project from absolute scratch to final jamboree. It’s amazing how different iGEM projects are and I’m looking forward to seeing this years contributions. Major contributions Prevent the autoclave from exploding. Movie star. How do you prefer spinach? Spinach is a great color supplement to traditional danish food often kept in different shades of brown.
