The Team

The DTU iGEM Team 2015 is composed of a group of ten motivated DTU students dedicated to exploring and sharing their passion for science. The team includes both Bachelor and Master students with a diverse set of nationalities and educational backgrounds in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Pharmaceutical engineering and Computer Sciences. Many of the team members are highly engaged in internationally recognized research groups, leading biotech companies or student organizations, where they have obtained valuable competences within science, programming, project management and communication.  Our team is unified by the shared goal of providing significant achievements within the field of synthetic biology.

The project officially started with an introductory iGEM meeting in January, facilitated by our supervisor Chris Workman. From then on our team met weekly with idea development until Mads and Pernille, came up with our project idea. Many months of project planning, fundraising, lab work and coding have lead to the product we now present for you. All laboratory work and presented activities documented on this wiki were performed by our team members and the three high school students unless stated otherwise.

We would like to thank our advisors who assisted us during the whole project and have provided invaluable advice and feedback. We would also express our thanks to everyone else who has supported us over the course project! Thank you for your expertise, facilities and materials. A full list of attributions can be seen here

High School Students

Maja Hansen

The iGEM project has made Maja aware of new possibilities and challenges of synthetic
biology by introduced her into a lot of new techniques and instruments. 

Maja has been helping with Minipreps and colony PRCs.

Nicolai Jørgensen

Nicolai actively participated in the lab with PCR, running gel electrophoresis and DNA purification.

He also supported the fund-raising and the wiki-design.

Thea Kongsted

Thea took the opportunity to discover new methods, and gain confidence in applying methods with which she was already familiar. 

Advisors and Supervisors

Christopher Workman

Associate professor, Ph.D.,
Regulatory genomics,
DTU System Biology


Chris is the team's main instructor who has put together the team. He has provided advice from the beginning with brainstorming project ideas.

Mogens Kilstrup

Associate Professor, Ph.D.
Metabolic Signalling and Regulation,
DTU Systems Biology

Mogens together with Jan facilitated our team with laboratory access. Mogens supported us with theoretical and practical knowledge about work with Bacillus. He was also very supportive and always available to help us or to discuss any doubts anytime of the day.

Jan Martinussen

Associate Professor, Ph.D.,
Metabolic Signalling and Regulation,
DTU Systems Biology

Jan together with Mogen provided us laboratory facilites where we have spent our summer. Jan has helped us with theoretical and practical work in the laboratory, and challenges with gram-positive bacteria. Additionally, he made our team aware of biosafety in the lab and GMO regulations at our univeristy. He was very supportive while we were planning our experiments, and helpful with implementation of our ideas.
