Sponsors

We thank our sponsors, without whom we wouldn't have gone this far on our journey of iGEM.

Platinum partners

Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS)

The Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) aims to become the leading international multidisciplinary institute for research and education by combining the fields of mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering to understand complex molecular systems. To achieve this goal, the ICMS does not only perform top research, but also trains young scientists, organizes interdisciplinary science activities and provides an advanced study center.

Stichting PAMM

PAMM gave us financial support, but also helped us a lot with or research with Staphylococcus Aureus, which is a category 2 bacteria. Therefore, we were not allowed to work with that bacteria. PAMM has been testing our lysostaphin on plates with Staphylococcus Aureus for us. These experiments have been essential in proving that our lysostaphin is both secreted and able to kill the S. aureus bacteria.

PAMM foundation is a research center for medical microbiology and infectious diseases and for pathology in Veldhoven and Eindhoven. They collaborate with general practitioners and hospitals in the region, the Dutch national health institutes (GGD) and health facilities. As a prominent research institute, PAMM values innovation in its research field and is working on diagnostics, consultation and prevention of diseases. Visit them on http://www.pamm.nl

Hansaplast

Is a company specialised in all different kind of plasters. It is part of Hansaplast which is one of the world’s largest skin care brands.

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT)

Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), the global leader in nucleic acid synthesis, is a 2018 platinum level sponsor of the iGEM Competition. Besides sponsoring the competition, IDT has generously offered to provide each registered team with up to 20KB of its market leading gBlocks® Gene Fragments synthetic DNA products. Our team has used the gBlocks® as a basis for creating our constructs. For more information or ordering the gBlock® fragments, please visit the IDT website at https://eu.idtdna.com/pages/home.

Universiteitsfonds Eindhoven

The Universiteitsfonds supported us financially. The Universiteitsfonds supports the University in education, research and culture by helping fund activities which otherwise would not be possible to realize. For more information you can visit their website here.

Silver partners

Pharmacosmos

Pharmacosmos is a specialist in iron therapy. They develop, manufacture and market medicines for the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in humans and animals. Furthermore, they are specialist in developing and producing advanced carbohydrates for pharmaceutical and technical uses. Pharmacosmos has been of great assistence to iGEM Eindhoven 2018 by supplying us with the pharmaceutical dextran required to synthesize the gel for our project. To see what other compounds Pharmacosmos provides, please visit their website at https://www.pharmacosmos.com/.

DSM

Royal DSM looks from a scientific point of view to health, nutrition and materials. By connecting its unique competences in Life Sciences and Materials Sciences with innovative ideas, DSM is driving economic prosperity, environmental progress and social advances to create sustainable value for all stakeholders simultaneously. For this reason, DSM shows their support to Dutch iGEM teams by supporting them financially, including our team. For more information, visit them at https://www.dsm.com/corporate/home.html.

New England Biolabs

A supplier-of-choice for scientists across the globe, NEB offers the largest selection of recombinant and native enzymes for genomic research. They sponsored us products for the Gibson assemblies. They sponsored us a NEBuilder® HiFi DNA Assembly Master Mix which we used for the Gibson assemblies, Q5® High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix for getting accurate PCR results and the Quick-Load® Purple 1kb Plus DNA Ladder. For over four decades, NEB has been shaping the landscape of bioscience research by discovering, developing and supporting superior research reagents. NEB offers the largest selection of recombinant and native enzymes for genomic research. Restriction enzymes remain part of their core product portfolio. For more information you can contact the Biolabs website https://www.neb-online.fr/en/.

RIVM

The Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (Dutch: Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu or simply RIVM), is a Dutch research institute that is an independent agency of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport.

RIVM performs tasks to promote public health and a safe living environment by conducting research and collecting knowledge worldwide. The results are used to support the Dutch government in formulating its policy. The primary tasks of the RIVM are:

research
policy support
national coordination
intervention programmes
provision of reliable information to the general public and to professionals working in health care, infectious diseases, the environment, nutrition and safety.

The RIVM helped us by giving us advice about the human practices but also by defining our problem and device. They made us aware that in every part and stage of the project safety is important. You can find more information on https://www.rivm.nl/..

BaseClear

BaseClear has been essential for iGEM Eindhoven 2018 by by giving us discount on DNA sequencing. BaseClear works with DNA, which is found everywhere on this planet. BaseClear has built up a strong expertise in DNA analysis of microorganisms. Also, they do a lot of research into microbial communities, e.g. which bacteria and fungi can be found in our intestines or on our skin. To sequence DNA, BaseClear offers both Sanger Sequencing and Next Generation Sequencing for optimal results. Visit https://www.baseclear.com/ for more information about BaseClear.

SnapGene

SnapGene created software for researchers to make cloning procedures easier, enabling researchers to better plan their cloning procedures. With SnapGene you can easily plan and simulate DNA manipulations, also you can easily visualize primer binding sites and automatically record the steps in a cloning project.
