Meet the team

Our team consists of 9 students from University of Copenhagen and CBS (Copenhagen Business School). This year the team is very cross-disciplinary and very multicultural. Scroll down the page and read about the individual team members, their background and what they have been working with at SpaceMoss. Touch the images to read about the persons. Please do also pay special notice to our supervisors, professors, contributors and sponsors whit out whom project SpaceMoss would never have happened.

Supervisors

Cecilie is studying a master in Biology-Biotechnology. She has been an amazing help with the lab work and wiki design.

Cecilie Cetti Hansen

Josephine Schrøder is MSc in Biotechnology. Her advice has been invaluable with the experimental design and she made sure we had lab and office space. She also taught how to "handle" moss and propagation moss cultures.

Josephine Schrøder

Anna is an iGEM project organizer. She studies a PhD at University of Copenhagen Plant Science Center. She has helped us with the experimental design and given us protocols for PCR and purification of DNA.

Anna Holzwarth

Nanna is project coordinator at Center for Synthetic Biology, University of Copenhagen. She has been guiding us from the very start and provided extraordinary help with the outreach and funding parts of our project.

Nanna Heinz

Will has a MSc in Business Administration, & Bio-Entrepreneurship and was one of the key people involved in starting this years iGEM team. With his experience from participating in the 2013 iGEM competition and though his role as CEO of TychoBio his advice and guidance throughout the project have been invaluable.

Will Wright

Brian is a post doc. in Synthetic Biology. He is THE moss guru and a spare time space enthusiast. Find him on Twitter! @newbotany

Brian King

Kamil is a PhD-student at University of Copenhagen Plant Science Center. Brainstormer and idea generator, he has been giving amazing feedback and has been quick to jump in when we needed supervision during weekends (university formality).

Kamil Bąkowski

Associated Professors

Björn is our iGEM project leader. He is Associate Professor and a world expert in terpenoids. He has experience as an iGEM supervisor and advised the 2012/2013/2014 UNIK Copenhagen teams. He has also judged in the national iGEM jamboree in Lyon.

Björn Hamberger

Morten Bo Madsen is working in the UCPH Mars-group and is a participating scientist on NASA’s Curiosity rover-mission. He served as a scientific advisor on SpaceMoss, lending his expertise on everything related to Mars and the Martian environment. Through Morten, the Mars-group supplied us with our Mars-soil substitute, and gave us access to the Jens-Martin Mars-chamber.

Morten Bo Madsen

Henrik is an Associate Professor at PLEN. He specializes in sesquiterpenoids production in moss. He has provided excellent advice and calm support.

Henrik Toft Simonsen

Contributers

Asmus wrote his Master’s thesis on the Jens-Martin Mars-Chamber and guided the team in its use. Additionally, Asmus helped out with brainstorming experiments for Red Lab.

Asmus Koefoed

Christine designed our amazing logo and

Christine Fabricius

Hansol is Post doc. working in Synthetic Biology. He has helped us carry out the actual moss transformation and has helped come up with new ideas.

Hansol Bae

Johanne is the artist behind the SpaceMoss comic. SpaceMoss’ collaboration with Johanne has been invaluable in our outreach efforts. Johanne’s visual storytelling expertise and questioning nature forced us to think hard about how to make the project palatable to lay-people.
