Advisors
Markus Linder
Aalto University
Our mentor, Markus Linder, is a professor leading Biomolecular materials group at Aalto University in the department of Biotechnology and Chemical technology. He has been mentoring also previous Aalto-Helsinki teams so he knows what he is doing.
Heli Viskari
Aalto University
Our instructor, Heli Viskari, is a teacher at Aalto University and works in Markus’ group. She has been helping us with various everyday problems – such as PCR troubleshooting. Also she has experience from helping other iGEM teams.
Acknowledgements
Besides Markus and Heli, bunch of people has advised us. We appreciate their help really much and are grateful that we got to work with such amazing and smart people. Thank you!
David Fewer from University of Helsinki helped us planning the project and with degradation enzyme testing.
Alexander Frey from Aalto University solved many of our problems related to yeast.
Jussi Jäntti from VTT attended many of our brainstorming sessions and advised us ever since.
Pezhman Mohammadi from Aalto University has given us many practical advices especially for protein purification.
Dominik Mojzita from VTT gave us advice related to stress reactions and choosing yeast strain.
Merja Oja from VTT has helped us with modelling.
Merja Penttilä from VTT made us think outside the box in our brainstorming sessions.
Anssi Rantasalo from VTT has helped us with design of our transporter constructs.
Jorg de Ruijter from Aalto University has helped us with various everyday problems.
