In Vivo Veritas

The night is dark and full of terrors…

Katja Leben

Field of study:

Biochemistry

Main contributions:

Calcium sensing system, ​cloning


Science crush:​

Uncovering the mechanisms laying behind biochemical signalling and immunology pathways

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Hanging from a rock cliff, reading a book.

Rok Krese

Field of study:

Biotechnology

Main contributions:

Activation of cells with ultrasound

The Master of Coin.


Science crush:

Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Surfing, diving or travelling.

If we die, we'll die, but first we live.

Tjaša Plaper

Field of study:

Molecular and functional biology

Main contributions:

Protein retention and secretion from the cell


Science crush:

Imunology and microbiology

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Travelling, drinking a beer with my friends or enjoying a quiet moment in nature with my dog.

Nik Franko

Field of study:

Biotechnology

Main contributions:

Novel regulated protein secretion system, novel split proteases, QC

He is freakish precise and innovative. And cloning quicker than you would expect for a man of that size.


Science crush:

Solving complex biological problems using synthetic biology, biotech entrepreneurship

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Training at the gym and still thinking about synbio. To really disconnect from lab I would go to Rome.

What do we say to the god of Wiki? Not today!

Lidija Magdevska

Field of study:

Computer science and mathematics

Main contributions:

Wiki design, debugging, modelling

Science crush:

Finding the invisible link between things

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

As I am. All or not at all.

Miha Gradišek

Field of study:

Electrical engineering

Main contributions:

Research and implementation of the system for ultrasonic stimulation

Sometimes a man has to make hard choices, choices that might look wrong to others, but you know are right in the long run.


Science crush:

Development of integrated circuits, research of biomedical influence of ultrasound on the observed tissue

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Photoshooting nature somewhere in the wilderness.

When in comes to war, she fights for the lab, when it comes to science, she doesn't choose sides.

Estera Merljak

Field of study:

Biochemistry

Main contributions:

Confocal microscopy, cloning.


Science crush:

In the mysterious plasmid masquerade mammalian cells disguise as tea pots and ghosts, humoring few chosen for confocal microscopy. Only your own imagination is the limit of synthetic biology.

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

A great lyric coloratura soprano.

Samo Roškar

Field of study:

Medicine

Main contributions:

Novel split proteases & inducible secretion system

In the Dawn Age of the Lab, before coming of other students and the raising of computers and coffees, there was only the Child of Nosleep.


Science crush:

Think about the medical application.

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Cycling and thinking how to make it better.

I'm no Lady.

Nina Jerala

Medicine

Main contributions:

Light inducible systems, light inducible split proteases, inducible logic gates


Science crush:

Physical anthropology, infectious disease, genetic engineering

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Going straight back to the lab. It's called the Stockholm syndrome.

Kosta Cerović

Field of study:

Medicine

Main contributions:

Ultrasound analysis and visualization

From this time to the end of time, we are a free and independent kingdom.


Science crush:

She is not into science

If I weren't in the lab I would be:

Outside of the lab, wouldn't I?

They found some of my…experiments…too bold.

Arne Praznik

Field of study:

Biotechnology
