Chemistry student | 18
Hi everyone!
My name is Mei Ju Goemans and I am the team leader of the Rotterdam HR team.
I am 18 years old and I am in my third year of studying chemistry at the Rotterdam University of Engineering and
Applied Sciences.
In my free time I like to dance, swim, fitness and hang out with friends.
I think that my knowledge of chemistry can be useful for the project and I am sure that I will learn a lot
during this experience.
Can't wait to see you in Boston!

Hey! I'm Dustin, and I'm a third year student at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
In the first iGEM team of our school my primary role is lab management, and supporting the managers for Budget
and Fundraising, Safety, and our team leader.
In my spare time I mostly enjoy reading, teaching myself new subjects and Aikido.
During iGEM I hope to learn from our multidisciplinary team.
We'll see each other in Boston!

Biology and Medical Laboratory research student | 26
Hello there. My name is Randall de Waard, a third year student at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
Within the team I take care of the budget and reach out to sponsors.
I also have a supporting role within modeling and Lab management.
In my spare time I like to jog, cycle and go to the cinema with friends.
With iGEM I hope to expand my horizon and present a solid gadget.
Hope to see you all in Boston!

Hey there! My name is Suzanne Romeijn and I am a second year chemisty student at the Rotterdam University of
Applied Sciences.
My purpose within the team is keeping the social media up-to-date and I'm the co-manager of Policy and Practice.
Besides IGEM, I like to draw, read, play tennis and to meet up with friends.
I hope to gain a lot of knowledge from the project and to meet a lot of new people of course.
Really looking forward to meet you all in Boston!

Hi everyone!
I'm Elise and I'm in my 4th, and last year of the bachelor Biology and Medical Laboratory Research. I joined the
iGEM team of Rotterdam because I liked to work on a project with multidisciplinair students about genetic
modified organisms.
I do a lot of work on the lab and manage the gas production part of our project.
Besides school I like to read, draw, sport and ofcourse meet up with friends. I'm curious about all your
projects.
See you in Boston!

Electrical Engineering student | 21
How's it going? My name is Mike, I am currently in my second year pursuing Electrical Engineering at the
Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. I am 21 years of age and like to play games and fiddle with
electronics in my spare time. I am eager to learn new things and hope to pick up some knowledge about synthetic
biology and chemistry along the way. I think my knowledge in the field of electrical engineering will be useful
to the project, as it will give a view from another perspective.
See you in Boston!

Hi there, I'm Tom, a second year student Electrical Engineering at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
I am 19 years old and in my free time I like to design electronics or to go mountain biking. During iGEM I hope
to learn a thing or two about synthetic biology and chemistry, and I think my knowledge of electrical
engineering will be useful for our project.
Hope to see you all in Boston!

Hello, I am Loraine, a third year student.
In our iGEM team I will take responsibility over the safety and our wiki page.
As a third year student at the University of Rotterdam I got the opportunity to be a part of the first iGEM team
our school set up.
I hope to improve my skills and learn more things besides doing biology research.
Bye Bye,
Loraine

Computer Science student | 18
Hello everyone,
I'm Rens Boeser, an 18 year old computer science undergraduate at the University of applied sciences of
Rotterdam and I am the newest member of the team.
From now on I will take on the responsibility of creating and maintaining our wiki.
I think I am a valuable asset to the team because of my different background and viewpoints.
Because I study computer science I specialize in automating processes.
In my free time I play the guitar and attend singing lessons.
It is a pleasure to be a part of the team. I will strive to be a valuable member!

PhD Molecular Microbiology
I’m a biologist who, after obtaining my PhD focussed on molecular biology techniques to
investigate cancer cells. After 20 years of working for Erasmus university Medical Centre in
Rotterdam and its predecessors, I switched to teaching as senior lecturer at the Rotterdam
University of Applied Science. I’m also involved in setting up research projects for the
students, mostly concerning modern molecular biology tools (modern cloning techniques and
CRISPR/Cas9 related projects).
I think it’s great to help this enthusiastic Rotterdam HR team on its way to many medals and
a great Jamboree in Boston!

Primary PI
PhD Molecular Microbiology
I'm a molecular microbiologist with experience in University and in the biotech company DSM, and have also
worked in cancer genetics at the ErasmusMC medical centre.
Within the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences I coordinate a research group of lecturers and students
(LabAcademy) that perform applied projects.
I love the ambitions and energy in the synthetic biology community and it's an honor to be able to support the
Rotterdam iGEM team.
Looking forward to show you the results from Rotterdam and seeing the wonderful projects of all other iGEM
teams, so let's meet in Boston!

Secondary PI
Bachelor of Science
I’m a research technician with a background in molecular biology.
To be an integral part of the Hogeschool Rotterdam iGEM supervisor team gives me the unique chance to apply
different facets of my knowledge as a former iGEM’er (2014).
Additionally, it’s a challenge to use my technical knowledge to support and encourage the team to do their
utmost.
I see iGEM as a great (networking) opportunity for students from every discipline to have a multidisciplinary
collaboration and broaden their knowledge.
Looking forward to the World Championship Jamboree in Boston and see all the fascinating work again!
