These Amazing People

This year our team was kindly assisted by lots of people, including ones from Vilnius University, non-governmental organizations, specific area specialists from the private sector and even our friends or colleagues. These amazing people helped us in areas we struggled or in the moments we needed an extra pair of hands. We want to give a special thanks to the people without whom SynDrop project would not be the one it is now.

Special Thanks

Dr. Linas Mažutis

Sector of Microtechnologies

Even though Dr. Mažutis was mostly working abroad, he never hesitated to find extra time for an internet call and give some fundamental advice in the field of microfluidics. The opportunity to work in the microfluidics’ laboratory was also invaluable for building our project.

Dr. Gintaras Valinčius

Department of Bioelectrochemistry and Biospectroscopy

Dr. Gintaras Valinčius was always optimistic about our team and was always curious about the current state of our project. Despite Dr. Valinčius busy schedule, he was always willing to help in any way he could. His expertise in membrane science was particularly helpful.

Professor Edita Sužiedėlienė

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Prof. Edita Sužiedėlienė’s support has been invaluable to Lithuanian iGEM teams since the establishment of the first team back in 2015. She has been kind enough to let us use her lab regularly and was patient about missing equipment after intensive work routines.

Tadas Penkauskas

Department of Bioelectrochemistry and Biospectroscopy

Tadas Penkauskas’ experience in membrane-based science and willingness to help with any matter related to lipids and membranes always helped us move further. Additionally, Tadas’ bulk-synthesized liposomes were a powerful tool to test our membrane proteins in higher throughput, while our method was still being developed.

Aistė Skrebytė

Head of Rector’s Office at Vilnius University

Aistė Skrebytė was the person at the Vilnius University Rector’s office that we could rely on. She helped our team with financial questions - team’s registration, Giant Jamboree-fee payments, and many others. She was always there for our team and tried to find best solutions to our organizational difficulties including our trip to Boston and general PR strategy.

Additional Thanks

Audrius Žemys

For organizing and hosting Lithuania’s first BioHackathon together with us.

Justinas Iljeitis

Who helped us with public relations and marketing at the beginning of the project.

Justina Žvirblytė

Who was involved in developing our idea as well as helped a lot with the InterLab study measurements.

Matthijs Tadema

Who kindly suggested to help us with molecular thermodynamics modeling of our surface display system.

Prof. Aurelija Žvirblienė

Who provided a theoretical background of antibody-antigen interactions.

Milda Zilnytė

Who helped us plan and perform scFv activity detection experiments.

Dr. Violeta Jonušienė

Who provided us with lab gear for SDS-PAGE.

Dovilė Strepetkaitė

Who provided us with a Precast Gel system and explained how to use it.

Prof. Christoph Flamm

Who surprised us with his willingness to teach us how to design custom RNA structures in silico and helped us create synthetic RNA thermometers.

Prof. Ivo Hofacker

Another renown specialist in RNA Bioinformatics, who dedicated his time and consulted us purely out of kind will on the design and applications of RNA thermoswitches.

Tadas Rimkus-Masaitis

Who kindly gave us a lot of valuable advice for problem-solving as an IT specialist.

Povilas Sidaravičius

Who enthusiastically mentored all the teams during the BioHackathon and inspired us to develop the idea of LipoVision.

Mindaugas Gapševičius

Who helped us to plan and organize the “DIY-science” workshop.

Juozas Nainys

Who helped us accelerate the ordering processes of relevant reagents.

Ignas Maželis

Who helped us in the microfluidics’ laboratory and was involved in our idea’s development process.

Dr. Karolis Leonavičius

Who helped us with software maintenance of the syringe microfluidics station and contributed to BioHackathon related events.

Antanas Žilakauskis

Who helped us in developing our project’s idea.

Lina Bivainienė

Who supported us while planning the DNA day celebration.

Rapolas Žilionis

Who gave us a lot of useful advices for our project presentation.
