Position: PhD student at the chair of Biological Chemistry TUM WZW

Field of Study: Biology (graduated)

Former Participation: Freiburg 2010 TU_Munich 2012.

After participating two times in iGEM, once in Freiburg, once in Munich, Volker is now supervising this years iGEM team. From his previous participation he gathered a venerable treasure trove of experience we could fall back on.

Dr. Meike Meißner

Position: Coordinator of the degree course Molecular Biotechnology at TU Munich, Weihenstephan

Field of Study: Biology (graduated)

Meike is the coordinator of the degree course „Molecular Biotechnology“ at the Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan (WZW) of the Technical University of Munich and supports us during iGEM as much as she can. Due to her position as contact person for the degree course, she had a good sense for infighting in the team, which she always approached and solved.

Prof. Dr. Ralf Reski

200px Prof. Dr. Reski is a German professor for plant biotechnology and former dean of the biology faculty at [http://www.uni-freiburg.de/start-en.html?set_language=en Albert-Ludwig University, Freiburg]. His research of genetics, proteins, metabolism and peculiarities of moss cell development uses the highly efficient homologous recombination for the production of knockout moss in order to investigate unknown genes and their functions with a prospect on potential applications in agriculture and forestry. Prof. Reski´s research also includes the production of complex biopharmaceuticals in moss bioreactors (molecular farming) and he co-founded the Greenovation Biotech GmbH. He also created the [http://www.moss-stock-center.org International Moss Stock Center (IMSC)], a biobank that stores and distributes moss plants from all around the world.

Dr. Gertrud Wiedemann

200px Dr. Gertrud Wiedemann is a postdoc at the Reski plant biotechnology lab. She kindly took the time and patience to teach us the protoplast transformation method, supervised both our transformation sessions and advised us on procedure details.
