Name:
Maximilian Ehrhardt, B.Sc
Studies:
In progress: Master of Science in Human-and Molecular Biology (Saarland University)
Completed:Bachelor of Science in Biology with focus on human and molecular biology (Saarland University)
Origin:
Motivation:
I was always fascinated by the power, especially the power of manipulation. In synthetic biology you only have to manipulate one enzyme, one molecule or one base pair; you must turn one little wheel to change the whole consensus, the whole mind, the whole structure of the organism and finally the whole universe. In our project I will demonstrate the power of manipulation by the expression of a hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) which only has two small amino acid exchanges in comparison to all other HASes but therefore produces high molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Furthermore I hope that I can improve my skills of bending an organism according to my sake,- but personally I do not think that Bacillus megaterium has anything to oppose me . The last part of my motivation to participate in iGEM is that I wish to get in contact with other creatures of this surprisingly manifold universe and to have a lot of fun.
