Help and support

Principal Investigators

Jun. Prof. Dr. Ilka Axmann – Our primary PI

Thank you for any expertise we received when we suddenly stood in your office. Especially in the field of cyanobacteria your advice including sending three advisors from your team was a great help. Also thank you for your calm nature, your positive attitude, the help at each meeting, the talk at our lecture series and lending us almost all your flasks for our experiments.

Prof. Dr. Oliver Ebenhöh – Our secondary PI

Even though we did not always understand everything straight away, many thanks for the incredible and patiently given know-how in modeling. In addition to that, you were always accessible to us and gave us input in every meeting that influenced our project again and again.

Institute for Plant Cell and Biotechnology

Prof. Dr. Markus Pauly – Our hero

Thank you for providing us with not just an entire lab, all the consumables, and the expertise of you and the entire team, but also for the trust in us to let us work independently and allowing us all the freedoms we had.

Christiane Heil

Thank you for all organizational matters that were settled in a very short time and for all the lovely conversations during the breaks in the seminar room.

Barbara Schulten – Our Lab Angel

Thank you for the incredible support you have given us throughout the entire year. No matter what we needed, within a short time it was there. But most of all we thank you for every shared laugh together.

Ghizlan Bousejra

Our "new Barbara" - thanks for at least 1000 bottles of media you made for us while still having fun with us. You were also our counterpart for personal problems and listened to us when we needed someone to talk to and we are very grateful for that.

Katharina Lufen

For the technical know-how, the organization in the lab in case we wanted to block almost every lab device at once, and for unlocking our lab countless of times, when we did not have the keys in the morning yet again.

Felix Roth

Thanks for the patience and the expertise in all technical matters and the kind smiles.

Dr. Catalin Voiniciuc

Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks especially in the end of our project. It was a great help that you proof read some of our texts and gave us great input in how to phrase everything we want to mediate in a good scientific language.

Dr. Murali Dama

Thank you for all your expertise and always asking us if you are disturbing a meeting, when you want to use the coffee machine.

Dr. Balakumaran Chandrasekar

For all the help and protocols for our yeast cloning.

Dr. Merve Seven

For every expertise and sharing giggles at lunch and late nights in the lab.

Dr. Vicente Ramirez Garcia

Thanks for the expertise in sugar detection measurements. You always helped us immediately, no matter when.

Fabian Stritt

Thanks for the patience, the primer orders and the help in the daily lab routine.

Tim Niedzwetzki

For all the microscopy, your advice and every conversation during the breaks.

Advice

Prof. Dr. Lutz Schmitt

Not only for the financial, but above all for the immediate help and expertise that we received in all situations.

Prof. Dr. Michael Feldbrügge

For the help and ideas at every meeting, lab equipment when needed and support with measurements in the plate reader.

Prof. Dr. Matias Zurbriggen

Thank you for the expertise we always received. In addition to that, many thanks for the use of the microscope for our evaluations.

Sebastian Triesch

Thanks for your ideas around the synthetic promoter.

Integrated Human Practices

Dr. Daniel Ducat

Thank you for taking the time to meet with us in person and for answering all our questions around co-culturing and cyanobacteria. Your input right at the beginning of our project helped us avoid certain errors in advance and optimized planned experiments.

Organization

Melanie Voigt-Polzen

A team member by heart! We know it wasn’t always easy with us but thank you so, so much for not only being a true friend and giving us hope, but also for spending your weekends in the laboratory and your free time with driving us around. We’re sure that some members would have gone crazy without your understanding and support!

Brigitte Haumann

Thank you for everything you have organized for us this year. It is not always easy to consider all the wishes of a team and overcome all the bureaucratic hurdles, but you made it happen.
