With great pleasure I would like to formally introduce our iGEM team. We are nine students of the @uzh.ch with the initial goal to participate in the @igem_hq competition. The procedure has to be adapted accordingly to the COVID-19 development. Our goal - to contribute to the synthetic biology community will persist. In the name of my team, I invite you to join us along this journey - Franka [Management]. If you swipe you will find an awesome portrait written by our team member Sophie 🤗 #igem #syntheticbiology #university #competition #students #undergrad #undergraduate #synbio #igem2020 #uzh

as we have heard in every single presentation at the jamboree, igem is about more than just labwork. 🔬 it‘s also about human practices - aka having fun while traveling with your teammates (low-key trying to recruit for the igem uzh 2020 team right now) ☀️ - and collaborations with your favorite teams - aka hanging out with our fellow swiss team from @igem_epfl to celebrate. 🍻 have you gotten over it yet that a swiss team won the grand prize?? so proud of epfl!💙 #everyoneisnowfriendswithepfl #butweactuallyare #picoritdidnthappen #boston #cuba #igem2019

we found some more protein-cage loving people!! 💚 we had a very inspiring discussion with Professor Hilvert and his group at ETHZ and they gave great input about how to tackle some problems we‘re facing with our compartment. always good to have someone with a different viewpoint look at your problems! thank you for sharing your expertise! #igem2019 #UZH #ETHZ #biology

Meet our Project coordinator Roy Hove aka Transformation knight! 😊 T-Knight is one of our biomed students and (as we found out recently) a talented and passionate photographer 📸 Whenever he is in the lab (and not in Poland, at the Montreux Jazz festival or sleeping in), he’s trying out a sidetrack or pimping out our bacteria and giving them new shiny plasmids 🧬 He is also the one organising our trip to the Giant Jamboree which we are all looking forward to! 🤩🌎 #science #igem #best #team #uzh #zurich #igemuzh #UZurich @intellect_conq

Meet our PR responsible Alexandra Marti, aka Primer-Princess!😊 Alexandra studies biomedicine in her bachelor’s and if anyone deserves the title „Team Mom“, it’s her!👩👧👦 She‘s the one making our work possible, be it through providing us with her beautifully constructed primers for our perfectly working PCR (as you‘ve seen in our memes), through coaxing out money from so many supportive sponsors or through offering snacks! 🍓 #team #igem #igemuzh #uzh #zurich #biomedicine #science #lab @_aleeex_13

Meet our Lab organiser Lynn Hasenöhrl aka PCR queen!😊 Lynn is studying biology in her bachelor’s and definitively the most creative one of our team. 🤪 Besides rocking the PCR’s, she is always up for giving our parts imaginative names or motivates us to go to the pub quiz night (we’re still unsure whether she wants to go because of the trivia or the guinness though)😉. If you ever want to make friends with her, just show her a picture of sheldon the tiny dinosaur and she will like you in no time. 🦕 🐢 #team #igem #uzh #igemuzh #zurich #lab #biology #Uzurich @flaffiflaff

Meet our team captain Alexander Schanne aka Captain Gel! 😊 Alexander is studying biology in his bachelor’s and initiated our team. 🧫 Whenever he is not preparing a gel, he loves to enlighten us about chilies or creates another funny meme. 😋 He is also responsible for all our amazing events, our student association Synbio UZH and to get Lynn down to earth again when she lets her imagination run (a little bit too) wild. 😉 #team #captain #igem #uzh #zurich #igemuzh #biology #UZurich

Another company believes in our team and invests in our project!🥳 A huge thank you to our new sponsor Socorex Swiss, who‘s financial support enables us to cover several expenses!😊 Their pipettes are one of the most fundamental part in our lab and therefore also crucial for our project! #sponsoring #funding #igem #igem2019 #research #pipettes #labequipment #thankyou #socorex #switzerland

Most of the iGEM teams (and other scientists) can probably relate😅😉 Fortunately, our efforts paid off most of the times! 😊 #igem #onthehuntforfunding #funding #sponsoring #grant #meme #igem2019 #igemmemes
