Team:LMU-TUM Munich/Team
The TU-Munich iGEM team 2016
This year we have an especially diverse Team, since it was formed by bringing together students from Munich’s most important Universities. The Ludwigs-Maximilian University and the Technical University of Munich decided to look for interested students to participate at this year’s Giant Jamboree. That’s how the two Instructors of this year working at the chair of biological Chemistry at the WZW from the TUM gathered together ten Students from the TUM and six students of the LMU to work together. The outcome was a perfectly mixed team from members with experience in molecular biology, mechanics and even electronics. We were very lucky to be able to match together while working at the lab and we truly enjoyed the time spent together. It was also evident how each of us could support the project with our diverse skills.
Thanks to the imminent support of Prof. Dr. Arne Skerra and his team at the chair of biological chemistry we were able to accomplish our experiments and biological works in his well equipped laboratory.

Motto:
The happier we get,
the less we see.
If I would just have three words to describe Jeff, these words would be: What a Gen(e)ious!!! There is nobody in the team who can mess with him on DNA-Level. His enthusiasm for the project goes so far, that he can sleep 3 hours per night – one week straight, when there is urgent work to be done. After getting in touch with the idea of iGEM, Jeffery was immediately infected by the idea of synthetic biology. He has a keen interest in optogenetics and signaling, which made him the perfect fit to work on our safety mechanism. Besides to his enormous wisdom, he is one of the most uncomplicated and down-to-earth people we ever got acquainted with.

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.
Advisors
Dr. Meike Meißner
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.
