Team:Aachen/Attributions


Members

Teamwork occurs when diverse abilities and insights join together to work towards a common goal. Therefore, students of different age, gender and field of study came together to found our team in Aachen. During the project we not only had the chance to learn from each other, but also to excel ourselves. So all in all with joint forces and collective creativity, we will create something special in order to make our contribution to synthetic biology.


Advisors

Instructors

Partners

This project would not have been possible without the generous help and advice from many great people and organizations. We thank all the partners listed below for their essential contributions and financial support that covered registration fees, laboratory materials and expenses for services and materials.

Special Thanks

We want to express special appreciation for the team of Synbiota. They were very kind to support us by including us in their beta testing program and were relaxed about all the modifications that we did to their protocols.

Another special thanks goes to Prof. Sheng Yang and his team who provided us with their pCas plasmid.


Attribution of Scientific and General Support

Great projects do not only depend on solid funding, but even more on the invaluable support by great people. We would like to thank all the great people for letting us use their lab, providing laboratory equipment and supporting our project in other ways.
