"I think that my knowledge of chemistry can be useful for the development of our project. And I am sure that I will learn a lot about biology and biochemistry because of this experience and by the knowledge of my colleagues.

See you in Boston!"

"Hi, my name is Dustin van der Meulen, I'm 19 years old and the team leader of the iGEM team Hogeschool Rotterdam. I'm currently in my third year of my bachelor, biology and medical laboratory research. My hobbies include aikido and philosophy. Another thing I like is biochemistry at college. I hope to improve my knowledge during iGEM.

I'll see everyone from iGEM in Boston!"

As this is the first time our school joins the iGEM competition I'm looking forwards to the challenges that it will present us. And building up a base on which future teams of our school can expand upon. For this reason, I hope to be a valuable asset to the team.

I wish the other iGEM teams the best of luck, and I’ll see you in Boston!

"My role in our team is keeping the social media up tot date. At the moment we have a twitter (@IGEM_HR_2018), facebook (IGEM team Hogeschool Rotterdam) and an instagram account (@igemhr). From the IGEM experience I hope to gain a lot of knowledge from the biochemical side of the project and a lot of new friends of course.

Really looking forward to meet you all in Boston!"
