We would like to highlight the sponsors, their support enabled our research and ultimately the participation in the iGEM competition.
- Platinum sponsors: University of Zurich (UZH), UZH Science Alumni
- Gold sponsors: UZH President’s Services, Microsynth, IDT, Promega
- Silver sponsors: Benchling, SnapGene, Praxis Dr. Sylvia Baumann Kurer
Poster authors are the iGEM team members as stated in the project summary. The icons of our poster were created by Michelle von Arx. The BioRender.com schemes were created by Erik Jung. Philip Schulz implemented the poster in the browser. The content is written mainly by Franka Butzbach, Timothy Kurer and Philip Schulz. For proofing and editing Elio Marangi, Jonas Trottmann and Nicolas Fink helped .
