Team:Rheda Bielefeld/Team

Our Team

Our team was selected by a committee of teachers of our school. Each of us had to write a letter including our motivation to participate in the iGEM-Project and what we are able to bring into the team. Based on these texts 7 students of the Einstein-Gymnasium in Rheda-Wiedenbrueck were offered to be a part the first iGEM-Highschoolteam at our school. 6 of us are also here in Boston at the Giant Jamboree.
The seven of us are: Leon Barratt, Ben Bocev, Jil Dißmann, Simon Fischer, Viviane Mußmann, Fynn Stuhlweißenburg and Elisa Ueding.
Throughout this year we were supported by many teachers and officials of the university in Bielefeld. We were mainly organized by Nils Lübke, who is currently taking a doctoral degree at the university of Bielefeld. Another big help was Stephanie Weick, our teacher, who arranged our journey and communicated with the schools administration. We were supervised by Katharina Kummer and generally guided and supported by Prof. Dr. Joern Kalinowski and Prof. Dr. Norbert Grotjohann, our PIs.

Detective Pollen

Detective Pollen is our team's logo. He is a pollen that is looking for other pollen, which are causing trouble for some people, to identify them and to help people who are allergic to pollen.
By his work, Detective Pollen is representing our teams' idea of a test strip that identifies pollen and that shows the local pollen dispersal.
