Team Trinity
About
After the huge success of team "optoptosis" Duesseldorf in 2016, which was continued by the team “artico Düsseldorf-Cologne” in 2017, it was obvious that the iGEM spirit couldn’t stop after the two years and had to be continued at the Heinrich Heine university of Duesseldorf.
This year’s team is a little smaller and includes nine members and three instructors, who have a big support team consisting of six advisors at hand. We are proud to have built a team that is not entirely made up of biologists but also one computer scientist and physicist.
Take a look at all the people who build this project!
PS.: To give you a clear picture about all the different personalities in our team, we included PokémonTM do describe each member. We also attached significant questions about pineapple on pizza and heat shock preferences to give you the opportunity to decide which person you like best.
