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.
Team Members
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
ADAM PETERSEN
__________________
Studies a bachelor degree at Center for Synthetic Biology and specializing in protein purification. At SpaceMoss Adam primarely work with the DNA, which is inserted into the moss
BIO TECHNOLOGY
JONATHAN ARNESEN
__________________
Studies a master degree at Center for Syntethic Biology with focus on plant biology. Jonathan is behind large parts of the work conducted in the manipulation of moss in SpaceMoss’ Green Lab.
ASTRO PHYSICS
JOPHIEL WIIS
__________________
Jophiel studies a masters degree in astrophysics with a focus on cosmology. At SpaceMoss, his focus is on Red Lab, working on experiments which simulate the conditions on Mars. He also works with outreach and film editing.
MOLECULAR BIOMEDICINE
JONAS ELSBORG
__________________
Studies a bachelor in Molecular Biomedicine. Jonas has experience with mammalian cells and NMR-spectroscopy. In SpaceMoss he primarily works in the GreenLab: doing transformations of moss and purification of plasmids in E. coli, for use in the transformation procedures.
PLANETARY PHYSICS
CHRISTINA TOLDBO
__________________
Studies a master degree in Astrophysics with focus on space travel and human exploration of the solar system. She is primarily working with outreach and web development, as well as designing experiments to test if the moss has obtained the wished ability.

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.
