If I were a hormone, I would be: the inner clock, melatonin, because I could finally make sure my day doesn’t start at noon and end at 3 in the morning.

Position in the team:

Most of my work will be from home at my PC, since I am working in the IT. Sometimes I will also be found in the Lab, because the most important work is done there. And someone’s gonna make sure the others won’t develop the next bio-weapon ;)

What does iGEM mean to you?:

For me iGEM is an opportunity to work on something important, something with the potential to make our world a better place. Also it combines two of my biggest interests, biochemistry and computer science.

Why do you participate in the iGEM contest?:

I guess I kind of answered that already above. Biochemical research has a great potential to elevate our world to the next level and therefore I have a great interest in working on this project.
