The ETHZ iGEM2007 Team!

Team Description

Our team is a combination of hard-working biologists and engineers! :)

Undergraduate Students

Hi, my name is Martin, and I'm a Master Student in Biomedical Engineering at ETH Zurich. Before that, I did my Diploma studies in Mechanical Engineering, at the University of Applied Sciences in Constance, Germany. I love sailing, snooker and holidays in Denmark. I joined iGEM to learn more about synthetic biology and labwork (more info).

Hi, I am Katerina! I'm one of the engineers in the group - I hold a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and I am currently a Master student of Biomedical Engineering at ETH Zurich. I enjoy working at the interface between engineering and biology, and I also love music, literature and (very) long walks(more info).

Hi, I'm Raphael, Master Student of Biotechnology at ETH Zurich. So, that's why you can find me mainly in the lab (day and night!). Anyway, if there is time to see the daylight, you can find me on my bicycle in the city, or skiing down the mountains. I joined iGEM because I think that there is really a need to find international standards like the "biobricks". Of course, despite having a lot of work, it is a lot of pleasure and fun, working on this project (more info).

Hello! I'm Sylke, a B.Sc.-Biotech Student at the ETH Zurich. I was born in Germany, and have lived in London for four years. So, as you can see, I like jetting around the world. I found iGEM as a great opportunity to be part of a team, working on a fun project that's also related to my studies. Apart from Bio-books, I like art, swimming and snowboarding (more info).

Hi, I am Nan. Right now I'm doing my Master study in Biomedical Engineering at [http://www.ethz.ch ETH Zurich] and currently fascinated by educatETH E.coli. During my spare time, I enjoy music - "A painter paints pictures on canvas; but musicians paint their pictures on silence". I also like hiking with friends and traveling around. The only means to keep my life refreshing is to experience new things! (more info).

My name is Stefan, M.Sc.-Biotechnology student at ETH Zurich. This means that I like cells, genes and bioreactors... especially bioreactors... the bigger the better, yeah! Although there are many people who question the success of synthetic biology, I believe in its potential and am proud to work with our team at the very front of it. During my spare time (yes, I have a life besides my studies) I like hiking, rowing and cycling :-) (more info).

Graduate Students

Hoi zaeme, I am Christos. I graduated with a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering, from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, and currently I am a PhD Student at ETH Zurich, working with nice, little, autonomous, magnetic, wireless, reconfigurable, fluorescent, swallowable, biocompatible super geeky microrobots. I sleep in my lab currently, but all is good! ([http://christos.bergeles.net more info]).

Hi, I am Tim. I received a diploma in computer science in 2003, from the University of Dortmund, Germany. After staying for two years in the research institute caesar (in Bonn, Germany), 2006 I joined the [http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~sop/ Systems Optimization Group] at ETH Zurich headed by Prof. Zitzler. My research focuses on the application of bio-inspired optimization techniques on systems biology problems ([http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~sop/people/thohm/ more info]).

Gruezi, I am Christian. I am the only graduated Biology-guy in our Team. I studied Electrical Engineering, Biology and Bioprocess Engineering in Germany and Finland. Beside my studies, I worked in serveral scientific Institutes, e.g., the European Neuroscience Institute Goettingen (Germany) and the Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory in Oulu (Finland). I graduated in 2005 with a diploma in Biology. Currently I am a PhD-student at the ETH. I am doing research in applied Biotechnology and synthetic Biology. ([http://www.fussenegger.ethz.ch/people/kemmerc more info]).

Joe Knight here. I am a PhD candidate performing research in biomedical engineering at the ETH. Before coming to the ETH I was the 2005-06 Grube Fellow at Stanford University's Biodesign Innovation Program. I joined iGEM because I believe some of the greatest innovations in biotechnology of tomorrow will be made in synthetic biology, and I hope to be part of it all! (more info).

I'm Markus Uhr, a PhD candidate in Computational Systems Biology, at ETH Zurich. I did my MSc in Computational Science and Engineering, so I'm the guy that likes big equations and solving them on a computer ;-). Besides the geeky stuff I do to make a living I also enjoy running and orienteering, or listening to good music. (more info).

Hi, I am Rico. I am a Ph.D student of the ETH Zurich in Switzerland where I am working on the design of aVLSI motion detection chips for microflyers at the Institute of Neuroinformatics. I am a engineer by heart who always loves to disassemble all kind of machines and wants to understand what is driving them and how things work. Because I think that building machines out of DNA instead of silicon is an extremely exciting new way I decided to participate in iGEM. If you would like to find out more about me have a look ([http://www.ricomoeckel.de here]).

Right now I am doing my Master study in Biomedical Engineering at [http://www.ethz.ch ETH Zürich]. I have interests in various studying topics, however, iGEM 2007 currently ranks the first. During my spare time, I enjoy the painting in silence a lot. Besides, I like hiking with friends and traveling around. The only means to keep my life refreshing is to experience things new. Moreover, seal engraving always fascinates me ([https://2007.igem.org/Nan_Li more info]).
