BIOLOGY! (since like forever) Used to visit my dad’s lab when he was doing his PhD in biotechnology (when genome sequencing was in its early stages)... So maybe it all started there and look now: me at iGEM; me likes. I think every engineer after masters should go to synthetic biology and then let’s all make a beautiful world to live in. <span class="igem-member">As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member,</span> I plan to cure cancer (if it hasn’t already been done, but my cure will be awesome), solve the energy crisis, eliminate world hunger and maybe...

| − | <p>At the moment, I’m almost done with the second semester of my Master's. More precisely, I’m majoring in Biochemistry. (nonono, I can’t brew beer for you) My background is in Molecular and Cellular Biology here at ETH. I am very interested in creating something from scratch – going from a mere idea to its next-level implementation. Synthetic biology is the way to go! (maybe I also watched Jurassic Park a little too much...) As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member, I plan to keep everyone calm, throw pizza parties at the lab and pipette through the night when needed. In my free time I’m exploring new cuisines, movies or mountains. Contact me at lidav@ethz.ch</p>

| − | <p>At the moment, I’m in the Biotechnology MSc degree program at ETH Zurich. More precisely, I'm taking a year off to get work experience from internships and projects. My background is in biology. I started with a biology BSc and after 2 years, I specialized in biotechnology. I am very interested in how and why matter assembles to understand itself. Apart from that, I’m interested in developing bio-technologies away from basic research and towards real world applications. As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member, I'll try to find a balance between free creativity and structured work. I’ll probably be forced to change my address to “ETHZ iGEM Lab”, until then, I’m responsible for funding our project. In my free time I decide which amazing electronic music my neighbours are going to listen to for the next couple of hours. Sometimes I play volleyball. Contact me at hubenico@ethz.ch</p>

| − | <p>At the moment, I’m working towards an MSc in Biotechnology at ETH. More precisely, I got hooked on the combination of engineering principles with biology. Thus, I’m mainly focusing on synthetic biology and trying to get some understanding of maths and computational stuff. My background is molecular and cellular biology, also at ETH. I am very interested in (almost) anything that other people get enthusiastic about. Scientifically, translating the amazing things that synthetic biologist have already achieved into something useful or even more amazing. Beyond doing science myself I’m very interested in how (bio)technology affects societies and peoples life. As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member, I plan to challenge Nico as the lab-DJ. Other than that, I will contribute to the experiments and take responsibility for the human practices. In my free time you’ll often find me running through forests or playing beach volleyball.

| − | <p>At the moment, I am finishing my Masters in Biotechnology at ETH. More precisely, in my Master Thesis I am trying to improve biocatalysts (mainly artificial metallo-enzymes) of industrial interest by developing a high-throughput screening technology based on microfluidics and cell-free extract technology. My background is in Chemical Engineering with specialization in Biotechnology. Throughout my Diploma studies I came to realize the super cool tools that biology can provide, in order to tackle actual life problems. For this reason, in my Diploma Thesis I studied enzymes that can contribute to the sustainability of the 2nd generation of biofuels. As I said before, cool stuff... I am very interested in Protein Engineering and Synthetic Biology, because these fields can satisfy my tendency towards both engineering and biology. As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member, I plan to help a lot in the lab and try to “disturb” the modelling people in order to get the most out of our “world-saving” project. Also as a safety manager, I will be the terror for all the Lab People muahahahaha… (Just kidding, I will try to be nice..) In my free time, I like to play basketball and chill at the Rhein river here in Basel. So prepare your pipetes and get ready for BBQing.

| − | <p>At the moment, I am studying immunology, exploring machine learning, and investigating DNA computing. More precisely, I am balancing the workload of my Computational Biology MSc at ETH with the demands of my participation in the iGEM team. My background is quite conventional; I hold a diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I majored in Computer Science and then I got lured to bioinformatics by carefully placed traces of big data. I am very interested in the creative chaos which ensues when serious computing power is introduced to various disciplines. Unsurprisingly, Synthetic Biology felt like home from the start: we are optimizing peptides, composing operons, hacking bio-circuits... Is it a cliché to marvel at how tiny and powerful nature can be at the same time? Could there be a discipline more fascinating for an engineer than molecular biology, in all its elegant efficiency? As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member, I plan to save everyone's time by exploring wild ideas in simulations. I will be failing fast and often, unashamedly. Some of my endeavours will hopefully prove feasible; until then, I'll keep the GPUs sweating. In the meantime, I will be organising and presenting my teammates accomplishments as the eye candy they should be. My secret side project is to make my teammates use more open source systems than they currently do, starting with LaTeX. In my free time, I'll be walking along the lake, reading about politics and dreaming about chocolate. Contact me on Facebook, Github, Twitter and other social zoos as 'renelvon' or at nkorasid@student.ethz.ch. NB: I am more responsive during hours frequented by night owls.</p>

| − | <p>At the moment, I am in the process of getting my MSc title in Biomedical Engineering at ETH. More precisely, I am majoring in Medical Physics. That’s about biomedical imaging, radiation therapy and stuff. My background is in human medicine. I’m a doctor, for reals. And before you ask, I don’t know what I’ll be doing in the future exactly. I am very interested in learning new things! You name it, I want to learn it. Joking aside, I am very much into this whole trend of connecting engineering with medicine and biology. If there is also radiation involved, you’ve got me hooked. As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member, I plan to break some sweat in the wet lab, boss around and bring junk food to our meetings. In my free time I am a crazy cat lady. Contact me at irmat@ethz.ch or irma.telarovic@gmail.com.</p>

| − | <p>At the moment, I’m in the last year of my Master in Biotechnology, as my other fellows from Basel. More precisely, I am currently working on microfluidics and its application in directed evolution. I find this to be an awesome tool enabling biologists to explore better and faster the wonders of the world of synthetic biology. And what is better than being able to create and build your very own microfluidic chip from scratch? My background is actually quite a mess… :) After I was force-fed with mathematics and physics for two years (until I couldn’t bear it anymore), I infiltrated the École Polytechnique (Paris-Saclay campus) where I have been able to broaden my horizons with economics, computer science, entrepreneurship and… Biology! Which brought me here at the Biotechnology department to go on with the overwhelmingly cool promises of synthetic biology. But I definitely remain an engineering guy in my bones. ;) I am very interested in microfluidics, a field that seems to me to be at a right and balanced spot between an already very characterized field like microelectronics and a still fuzzy science like biology, which we still cannot understand very reliably. My dream would be to go on with a PhD in this promising field and then why not found a startup if an opportunity pops up! I believe that iGEM will be a very valuable experience regarding team work and taking a project from 0 to 1 in a very short but intense period. This is definitely how startups work and I love that! As an ETHZ iGEM 2017 team member, I want to help bring a multidisciplinary perspective to our iGEM project, actively contributing to make the link between the modeling and experimental teams stronger. I will also help in the lab, as I already have done a couple clonings and PCRs when I was little (I didn’t say they all worked out...) In my free time I climb and hike, I love the calm and purity of Nature once in a while. :) Contact me for speaking at length about launching a startup with your ink producing E.coli or your last microfluidic filter design at vsenlis@ethz.ch</p>
