In her spare time, Johanna likes to practice martial arts and yoga, read fiction novels and play music, mostly cello and drums.
Alexander Branzell
Age 22, Bachelors in Computer Science & Engineering 1st year
Alexander brings a lot of knowledge about programming. He is the one who builds up and edits our wiki.
Christoffer Bäckberg
Age 22, Bachelors in Biotechnology 3rd year.
Christoffer has finished his bachelor in biotechnology and is now continuing on the same track at master’s level. Except from a great interest in science, Christoffer has a competitive mind and is impossible to beat in anything regarding sports and games, including our team building activities. If you are looking for a movie reference, Christoffer is the guy you’re looking for.
David Dagson
Age 26, Engineering physics, 3rd year.
David has a background in physical engineering and has recently started a master's in physics and astronomy. On his spare time, David enjoys theatre, music and philosophy.
Gustaf Edman
Age 22, Bachelors in Biotechnology 3rd year.
Gustaf is a really competitive person. Competitions bring him both joy and motivation. This fall Gustaf has started his master’s program in biotechnology, with specialization in Biomedicine and Biotechnology. At the age of 16, Gustaf performed his first genetic modification by inserting a GFP-gene in E. coli, but the interest in biotechnology didn’t really flourish until he participated in iGEM 2014. Outside the lab Gustaf enjoys experimenting with cooking and brewing.
