Revision as of 11:16, 4 October 2020



Starting this iGEM year we didn’t know that it would not be a normal iGEM year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we couldn´t go to the lab and were not able to hold regular team meetings in person. Even though every year different problems arose, this year they were different and the team had to manage not only a special situation for iGEM but also had to deal with many new aspects in their regular lives. Despite many bad news we managed to have a great year and design a great project. This would not have been possible without many great people that helped us and supported us in every situation. We want to use this opportunity to thank all these lovely people.

First of all there would be no iGEM at the TU Darmstadt without Prof. Dr. Heribert Warzecha. We want to thank him for being our primary PI and for supporting us. Even during our struggles, he explained that if we wanted to participate in iGEM without much lab time, he would support us in every way possible. Also, we want to thank the whole working group of Prof. Dr. Heribert Warzecha for helping us.

From the beginning until the end of this iGEM year we got helpful advice and feedback from our instructors. For helping us deal with this special situation, holding workshops about lab methods, the BioBrick system and SnapGene, helping with criticism and inspiring ideas we want to thank Sebastian Barthel, Dr. Alexander Gräwe, Leon Kraus and Maximilian Zander. Regarding the modeling part of our project, Fran Bacic Toplek has really helped us a lot with his experience from last year.

University

The staff of the TU Darmstadt was always here to help us and share their knowledge with us. For providing us with Information about B. subtilis, plasmids and also protocols we want to thank the working group of Prof. Dr. Johannes Kabisch. Especially Peter Gockel helped us a lot with the plasmid design for B. subtilis. Additionally, we were able to use their laboratory to perform an assay with our flow chamber. Prof. Dr. Jörg Stülke from the University in Göttingen provided us with a B. subtilis strain where tasA and sinR are knocked out. He also looked over our protocols for the handling and experimental details regarding B. subtilis.
Prof. Dr. Viktor Stein answered our questions regarding the mutagenesis of ereB and mutagenesis strategies in general.

Former iGEMers

As every year many former iGEMers were interested in the progress of our project. They provided us with information and shared their knowledge from previous years. Sometimes they joined our team meetings or helped our student leaders regarding organization aspects. Therefore, we would like to thank Jonathan Funk, Jamina Gerhardus, and Peter Gockel. Bea Marie Spiekermann, Christian Sürder and Leon Werner held presentation trainings for the team and gave us feedback on our final presentation. Christian Sürder also supported Rosi Krebs and Max Schäfer with the project monitoring.
For giving instructions regarding the programming of the wiki and the TU Darmstadt website we want to thank Marius Wollrab. Fran Bacic Toplek and Benjamin Mayer took care of our server. Hannah Rainer helped us with the planning of the podcast and took part in two episodes. Furthermore, Klara Eisenhauer, Jonathan Funk, Jamina Gerhardus, Peter Gockel, Thea Lotz, Jean Victor Orth, Hannah Rainer, Bea Marie Spiekermann, Lara Steinel and Leon Werner came to our presentations and gave us feedback to for the improvement of our project and to our performance of presenting our project.
