Lorpem iepsem Kalavale. Mieleni minun tekevi, aivoni ajattelevi lähteäni laulamahan, saa'ani sanelemahan, sukuvirttä suoltamahan, lajivirttä laulamahan. Sanat suussani sulavat, puhe'et putoelevat, kielelleni kerkiävät, hampahilleni hajoovat.
Veli kulta, veikkoseni, kaunis kasvinkumppalini! Lähe nyt kanssa laulamahan, saa kera sanelemahan yhtehen yhyttyämme, kahta'alta käytyämme! Harvoin yhtehen yhymme, saamme toinen toisihimme näillä raukoilla rajoilla, poloisilla Pohjan mailla.

Advisors and Mentors
Attributions
Sponsors
We want to thank our sponsors for all the support they've given us. In the beginning there was no guarantee that we'd get any support at all. Even if we expected that we might get some support, the amount of people offering their help far exceeded our expectations.
From the following list you can find all our partners, what/who they are and what they did for/ with us.
Aalto University
"Aalto University is a new multidisciplinary university, where science and art meet technology and business." (http://www.aalto.fi/en/)
Aalto University helped us in multiple ways. They offered us great mentors and a work environment where you could ask anything from the experienced lab people around you. They gave us space in the lab to work in, they supported us us financially, they ordered us reagents when we needed. Synthesizing our gene switch wasn't a problem either. It feels like we couldn't have done this, or at least this would have been a severely harder project, without Aalto.
Aaltoes
"Aaltoes stands for Aalto Entrepreneurship Society, Europe’s largest and most active student run entrepreneurship community." (http://aaltoes.com/)
Aaltoes helped Aalto-Helsinki by offering us the possibility to participate in "Summer of Startups", "a 9-week full-time program which is targeted for ambitious people to help them get started with their own businesses." The program made us view our project from business point of view and gave the opportunity to learn how to talk science to business people.
University of Helsinki
"The University of Helsinki is one of the best multidisciplinary research universities in the world. The high-quality research carried out by the university creates new knowledge for educating diverse specialists in various fields, and for utilisation in social decision-making and the business sector." (http://www.helsinki.fi/university/)
The University of Helsinki offered us a lab space to work in (even though we ended up spending our summer in the labs offered by Aalto University) and also supported us financially.
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland
"VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is the biggest multitechnological applied research organisation in Northern Europe. VTT provides high-end technology solutions and innovation services." (http://www.vtt.fi/?lang=en)
Bartek, our mentor and an irreplaceable helper in the lab, works at VTT. They also let us use their equipment when we needed something: we made quite a few measurements in their labs!
Heureka
ERASynBio
"ERASynBio is an ERA-NET from the seventh framework program for the development and coordination of Synthetic Biology in the European Research Area. This ERA-NET started on January 1, 2012, with a duration of 3 years." (http://www.erasynbio.eu/)
Geneious
"First released in 2005, Geneious is one of the world’s leading bioinformatics software platforms, used by over 2,500 universities and institutes and commercial companies in more than 65 countries." (http://www.geneious.com/)
Geneious let us use their program for free during our project. It was amazing to notice how a program can really speed up the research!
Biotech Start-Up Management
"Biotech Start-Up Management (BSUM) is a one-stop service provider for life science ventures. BSUM expert services help you with all the steps from innovation management to goal oriented international business development." (http://www.bsum.fi/)
BSUM helped us by providing their thoughts about our business plan and ideas.
