General Support

The TU-Dresden iGEM team was responsible for the majority of the work shown here. However, we received additional support from several advisors. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to help make our iGEM project successful and an enjoyable and memorable experience.

A huge thank you goes to Annett Schneider (Prodokanat Biologie TU Dresden), for managing our finances and giving incredible advice to guide us through German bureaucracy.
