Team

This year the DTU Biobuilders consists of more versatile skill sets than ever before. We have people studying Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Design and Engineering, Physics and Nanotechnology, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Software Technology, Chemistry and Technology and General Engineering and if we were to list everyone's hobbies, it would be longer than the human genome. All of these skills came in handy during our project and through blood, sweat and tears (not inside the lab, of course) we completed a project that we're all very proud of. You can read more about us below.

MSc Engineering in Biotechnology

What is your motivation for joining the iGEM team: While my foray into the biological field originated with a fascination with disease, the manipulation of biological systems from an engineering point of view has come to interest me greatly. Thus, I was motivated to join BioBuilders because I felt it would allow me to apply my knowledge of biology in that context. Additionally, I really wanted to explore and participate in the inner workings of a larger collaborative project, as opposed to a small-sometimes-unserious-and-hastily-written-group-assignment during a course.

What do you do in your spare time? I enjoy reading dearly, whether it’s a great book or a wiki-article on people who think they’re Jesus (I wiki-binge a lot). Sometimes I create music on a computer or write. Resistance training is also an activity I find intrinsically meaningful. However, my favorite hobby is annoying my lovely friends.

S. cerevisiae or E. coli - why? At this point in my life E. coli is like an old friend. It’s reliable, familiar, and loyal. Sometimes, we might disagree with each other, but we always make it work. S. cerevisiae is more like a new friend, exciting and full of possibilities and adventure. I enjoy adventure and wonder as much as the next guy, but I deeply treasure my enduring friendships. As such E. coli will always have a special place in my heart of hearts

Lina Lyng Sigfredsson Nielsen

BSc Engineering in Biotechnology

What is your motivation for joining the iGEM team: I’ve always had an interest in synthetic biology, specifically the genetic engineering part of it. When my friend, who’d participated in iGEM said that they needed members for the 2018 team, I thought why not try, and here I am.

What do you do in your spare time? I teach karate to children at the ages 7-12 and spend a lot of time browsing the internet, watching shows on Netflix (please talk to me about Twin Peaks) and I lose myself in video games quite often.

S. cerevisiae or E. coli - why? As a former cashier I'd say the actual item is irrelevant as long as it can't be scanned and the customer has a very original arsenal of never-before-heard jokes about how the item surely must be free when it can't be scanned! At least, that would make me uncomfortable if I had to listen to that.

The team profiles will be up soon. But until then! Here's a picture of our lovely team.
