This year, the UUlm team participated for the first time with a project in the iGEM competition. Our participation would not have been possible, without the support, guidance, and encouragement of various people. We have been working on different aspects of this project for almost a year now. During this time, we came across many helping hands we want to thank today. With this page, we want to acknowledge all the help and support we received. Thank you!

Our Helping Hands

Next to all the people listed above, other helping hands were vitaly important for our participation. After first thinking about a participation in the competition, we quickly realized, we needed some advice from experienced teams. We contacted the iGEM Team HU Berlin and the iGEM Team LMU & TU Munich to talk about their experiences, do's and don'ts about getting us started and tips and tricks for a successful participation. We are very grateful for your help!

In the starting phase of our project, we were facing different organizational difficulties. Gerold Brackenhofer from Ulm University helped us to establish a foundation at the University, from where we could further build our team.

Prof. Dr. Olga Pollatos is our University's Vice President for Education. In the beginning stages of our project, we had the chance to present our projects idea to her and to talk about establishing the iGEM UUlm team as a permanent enrichment for the University. Ulm University also partly funded our participation, for which we are very grateful.

Thanks to the Studierenden Vertretung, the student representation of the uni. Thanks to them, we are now an officially recognized university group.

Last but not least, a thank you to the Kreismedienzentrum Ulm. They gave us the opportunity to borrow camera and filming equipment, which we needed to film Human Practices.

Thank you to Annika Wilke for proofreading our articles!
