We are especially grateful to our numerous sponsors on gofundme, who supported our project and made it possible.
Every public donor, who helped us to achieve our goals got a special place on our bacterial wall of fame and a handdrawn microbe to show our appreciation. A link to that wall can be found here:
These are the members of our team:
Rica Bremenkamp

| Favourite microbe: | Oenococcus oeni |
| Favourite method: | β-Galactosidase assay |
Jonas Jennrich
| Age: | 24 |
|---|---|
| Favourite subject: | Forensic sciences |
| Character: | Little bit shy until I get to know you better |
| Why iGEM: | For the credit points and I really like to work in the lab |
| Future perspective: | Hopefully, I get hired in industry |
| Favourite microbe: | B. coli DH5α or E. subtilis SP1 |
| Favourite method: | RNA extraction |
Veronika Lutz
| Age: | 22 |
|---|---|
| Favourite subject: | Biochemistry |
| Character: | Curious, adventurous, reliable |
| Why iGEM: | I do not want to miss the opportunity to improve my lab skills, learn how to work in a team and to work on a longterm project |
| Future perspective: | Ice cream saleswoman on Bondi beach |
| Favourite microbe: | Aliivibrio fischerii |
| Favourite method: | Protein purification |
Janek Meißner
| Age: | 21 |
|---|---|
| Favourite subject: | Microbiology |
| Character: | Open-minded, gentle giant, optimist |
| Why iGEM: | IGEM brings together young international students that work on current research topics. What makes it so great is the opportunity to plan and conduct your own project from scratch. This is the perfect preparation for the future life as a scientist. I like it as it is a challenge with a promising result, able to influence the whole world. |
| Future perspective: | Acquire a PhD in microbiology or molecular genetics |
| Favourite microbe: | Methanogenic Archea like Methanococcus |
| Favourite method: | Plasmid preparation |
Malte Holmer
| Age: | 23 |
|---|---|
| Favourite subject: | Physical chemistry, theoretical biology |
| Character: | Nerdy, enthusiastic |
| Why iGEM: | In my future I’d like to get involved in bioinformatics, as I love to work with everything tech related. Therefore being the “IT”-guy in the team was a good challenge to push my limits in the area of bits, bytes and information technology. |
| Future perspective: | Ph. D. in Bioinformatics (aka hackerman) |
| Favourite microbe: | Phages (technically not living, but what’s not to love virus, the most abundant "organisms" on earth) |
| Favourite method: | Javascript (jk) |
Dennis Wicke
| Age: | 21 |
|---|---|
| Favourite subject: | Molecular microbiology |
| Character: | Determined, cheerful, happy |
| Why iGEM: | For me iGEM provides the change to personally improve in certain fields of science, as well as it gives students the chance of sharing ideas in order to solve problems together |
| Future perspective: | Hopefully not being homeless |
| Favourite microbe: | Pyrococcus furiosus |
| Favourite method: | Transformation of competent bacteria |
Robert Warneke
| Age: | 23 |
|---|---|
| Favourite subject: | Genetics |
| Character: | Eager, open-minded, ants in the pants |
| Why iGEM: | There is nothing better than being able to plan and carry out your very own ideas. iGEM is a great opportunity to get insights in project management and to learn about can be achieved with synthetic biology. |
| Future perspective: | Become a geneious |
