Our Wonderful Professors

James Henkel, Ph.D.

Dr. Henkel's assistance in beginning the purification process was absolutely essential. He holds invaluable knowledge and expertise in areas such as microbiology, protein purification, and biochemistry. We wouldn't have made it far without him!

John N. Werner, Ph.D.

Dr. Werner has helped us through the good, bad, and ugly of lab life. He has a vast knowledge of bacteriophages as well as many complicated laboratory techniques. We cannot thank him enough for the time and effort he puts into our project.

Wisconsin Lutheran College

We have to give a huge thank you to Wisconsin Lutheran College for all of the financial support as well as encouragement, and providing a place for a Christ-centered education! A special thanks goes to the Biology department for their resources, lab space, and mentorship.

Attributions

Each team must clearly attribute work done by the student team members on this page. The team must distinguish work done by the students from work done by others, including the host labs, advisors, instructors, and individuals not on the team roster.

This is a bronze medal requirement. Please see the Medals requirements page for more details.

Why is this page needed?

The Attribution requirement helps the judges know what you did yourselves and what you had help with. We don't mind if you get help with difficult or complex techniques, but you must report what work your team did and what work was done by others.

For example, you might choose to work with an animal model during your project. Working with animals requires getting a license and applying far in advance to conduct certain experiments in many countries. This is difficult to achieve during the course of a summer, but much easier if you can work with a postdoc or PI who has the right licenses.

What should this page have?
  • General Support
  • Project support and advice
  • Fundraising help and advice
  • Lab support
  • Difficult technique support
  • Project advisor support
  • Wiki support
  • Presentation coaching
  • Human Practices support
  • Thanks and acknowledgements for all other people involved in helping make a successful iGEM team
Can we base our project on a previous one?

Yes! You can have a project based on a previous team, or based on someone else's idea, as long as you state this fact very clearly and give credit for the original project.

Team training and Project start

Tell us if your institution teaches an iGEM or synthetic biology class and when you started your project:

  • Does your institution teach an iGEM or synthetic biology course?
  • When did you start this course?
  • Are the syllabus and course materials freely available online?
  • When did you start your brainstorming?
  • When did you start in the lab?
  • When did you start working on your project?
