Team Freiburg 2015
This year’s iGEM team consists of 19 students from many distinct scientific fields including chemistry, physics, biology, informatics and medicine. Our team is supervised by Jun. Prof. Maximilian Ulbrich and Dr. Nicole Gensch, both being part of the scientific staff of the BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies. We also get advice and support from some former iGEM participants who are sharing their experiences and knowledge with us.
