We are a group of students from the University of Göttingen studying in the international Master Program "Microbiology and Biochemistry", and one student from the the Bachelor Program "Biology" as creative assistant. We all have experience already in laboratory work due to completed Bachelor studies and various practical courses. The fields of study include among others biochemistry, microbiology and genetics, all contributing to a diverse team.
“Working with Ines is always a lot of fun. Being the smallest member of the team does not diminish her impact on the project, which is huge.”
“If you have any doubts, go ask Gregor. He will help you solve the problem or at least he makes a joke out of it.”
“Something uncomfortable that needs to be talked about? Larissa will surely and without hesitation mention it. Moreover, if you ask a stupid question, she will let you know or at least her eyes.”
"You need help with or have a question on something special? Tobi S. will immidiately try to find a solution if he doesn't have one already."
“Whenever you need to transfer your idea in a fancy figure or need some creative support, Miri will give her best and present you an impressive result at the end. ”
“Even if you don't believe in the positive outcome of your experiment, Alex will. His positive attitude towards almost everything is highly infective.”
“Whenever you need a helping hand, someone who finishes off experiments (even late in the evening) or finds a solution to informatics problems, Marieke will for sure be there for you.”
“Nora is one of the persons you can always turn to for creative ideas. Since she moved to Sweden for an Erasmus semester, she also became a self-taught html expert to digitally support us from afar.”
“Oh, it’s getting dark outside again? No problem, Tobi K. stays calm, while still being in the lab to finish the work. Right before the workout for his next marathon.”
“You need awesome photos for your website, wiki and social media pages? She’s the one who makes you happy.”
“EriC is highly motivated to export his self-made B12 to make the biotechnological production easier and more effective. You can always count on him! ”
“When you really REALLY need an educated advice try to find Prof. Daniel. When you finally found him, he will share his expertise with you. To support the team is always his first priority. ”
“She is always happy to help you to solve all your problems regarding bacterial strains, DNA sequencing, and anything else – just come by and ask. ”
“When you really need an educated advice (or cookies) he is the guy you are looking for. Problems will melt before his Colombian charm.”
“She always has a sympathetic ear for your problems and gives her best to solve them. ”
A special place deserves EriC, our team's mascot (crafted by Ines Friedrich). He does not only love Vitamin B12, but also Göttingen, his home town. Here, you can see him in front of our Institue of Microbiology and Genetics, and the Gänseliesel, the symbol of Göttingen. Since every PhD student from our university has to kiss her after getting his degree, she is probably the most kissed girl in the world.
Big and red,
Already startin’ to sweat?
Starter of riot,
Maybe you should try it.
It is essential,
Creator of a radical,
International,
But no need for a medical.
So the round starts,
At its heart
There is a cobalt ion,
Lying in state
If an enzyme attacks,
It fetches,
One of its electrons,
To go on
And there it starts,
Involved in tissue,
Blood and DNA parts,
An obvious import issue.
But don’t be shy,
It’s on your side,
That’s the reason
It will not commit treason.
Committing on B12 are
GlmS, MutB and BtuF,
But think not too far
For what they are
Natural occurring binding domains,
For the red gold,
Which remains,
Outside of the cells
As foretold.
With this small verse,
We come to an end,
Enough time spent,
THE END!
