The iGEM Freiburg Team acknowledges the generosity of the bioss - Centre for Biological Signalling Studies for its financial support and for providing a laboratory as well as great equipment. We would also like to thank our team leader and advisors and the AG Roth who helped us realize our project by giving us advice, materials and sharing their experiences.

Founded in 2008, BIOSS is an excellence cluster of the University of Freiburg focusing on signalling research and promoting a dialectic process between scientists using analytical and synthetic approaches. The interdisciplinary team of researchers is supported by the resource, storage and information centre for biological materials called Toolbox which also provided us with plasmids, cell lines and antibodies. Therefore we would like to thank BIOSS, especially Dr. Gensch, …..

Dr. Pavel Salavei - Protein expression and purification

We would like to express our deep appreciation for the constant support and critical input of Prof. Dr. Ulbrich.

We are particularly grateful to Dr. Roth and his group for their patient guidance, enthusiastic encouragement, constructive critiques and for the opportunity to use part of their resources.

A great thanks also to Prof. Dr. Peters and the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Cell Research for the financial support of our team and AG Hiltbrunner, AG Hess, AG Wilde, AG Pyrowolakis, AG Weber, AG Baumeister, AG Boll, AG Reski and AG Reinheckel for providing us with material, sequencing credits and helpful tips.

Our sincere thanks also extend to our immediate advisors Ilona Blank, Stefan Krämer, Philipp Schwenk and Maike Smits. Without you we would not have been able to present our project in that manner.

You were all invaluable to us!
