We couldn’t imagine a better supervisor! Be it a scientific question or a silly doubt, an advice or some administration, a hot cup of coffee or just handy tips, she always knows what to do.

Oscar Torres

Oscar is our knock-out specialist. He helped us with the P1 phage transduction and demonstrated how to confirm our double knock-out. We can always ask him questions during our experiments.

Yves is always willing to provide us with his crystal violet and electrocompetent cells. Above all he is interested in our project and likes to share advice.

Iris Govaerts

Iris is always there to help us order products, search for sponsors, give safety advice and help in the lab. She will provide us with handy hints wrapped up in funny stories.

Veerle De Wever

Postdoctoral researcher at Laboratorium voor Biosignalering & Therapeutica

Veerle helped us choose the right topic. Besides, she guided the previous KU Leuven iGEM team and is happy to pass on her experience by giving practical advice on how to prepare for the Giant Jamboree.
