To those backing students and innovation
iGEM offers experiences that few degrees can, and all the organisations and people below have helped make that happen. We know it's not always easy to convice your boss or wallet to help fund a student cause, so thank you.

Geneious is a software package full of popular analytical tools for molecular biology and next generation sequencing. Geneious is made by Biomatters, our longest standing industry sponsor. Not only have they provided us with critical funding on many occasions, they also provide us with super helpful feedback on our presentations and access to Geneious software when we need it. Special shout our to Sebastian Dunn (software engineer), one of the nicest people we've worked with, and Richard Moir who said "As with previous years, we don't expect anything specific in return, we just wish them every success." Everyone in Team MOD hopes we can return the favour one day.

Many thanks to the Head of Department, Prof Eileen McLaughlin, who has helped establish many iGEM teams at the University of Auckland without hesitation. Without the help of SBS staff, our projects would not be able to get off the ground. We want to make SBS proud and we look forward to deepening our relationship with our plans for next year.
Prof John Hosking is the Dean of Science at the University of Auckland and an esteemed researcher in Robotics. He continues his "long history of university-industry research engagement" and is always happy to match any support offered by our School of Biological Science. Cheers John!
A few years back, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Auckland established a Student Support Fund to provide "financial assistance to students who are competing and achieving at the highest levels." Team MOD 2018 is the third iGEM team at the University of Auckland to utilise this fund. This fund is invaluable to our student team and we encourage other innovation-friendly universities to establish similar funds.

Chiasma is a prominent university organisation which links students and industry. In 2018, the CEO for Chiasma Auckland is Jessica Chiang, an original iGEMer from the University of Auckland. Chiasma is well known for its commercialisation and networking events, and we look forward to representing iGEM and our sponsors at future events. Chiasma attracts many commercially-orientated science students who are often great iGEM candidates.
"Kiwi students are left in the dark when it comes to financing new projects and ventures, but iGEM pushed us to learn. In a country where funding and markets are very limited, being told 'No' is tauntingly common, and our team had to learn perserverance. Cashflow deadlines do add to the pressure but, as a result, we got to practice our soft skills with more businesspeople."
Hadleigh Waldegrave, Team Lead 2018
