A special thank you to Emil Marklund for all the guidance, the tremendous amount of help and dedication for making us successful in the project: “a once in a lifetime opportunity!”. Lastly, we are also very grateful to Elf lab for providing lab space and equipment during autumn experiments.

Seniors

During our iGEM run we got a lot of support from old iGEMers. We would like to thank everyone who have attended our lectures and gave us guidance and opinion while picking our project. We would also like to thank the iGEM Uppsala Association board for organizing events and supporting us at the beginning of the project. Namely we would like to thank the previous iGEM Uppsala members Olle Karlberg, Fredrik Lindeberg, Alice Anlind, Sabri Jamal, Hampus Elofsson, we thank you for your guidance.
