Our Team
This year we are a group of 11 students participating in the project, all studying different aspects of biology, more precisely chemical biology, engineering biology and medical biology. Our project can you read about here.
Education: 4th year of MSc in Protein Science Responsible for: Project Works with: Project leader Why iGEM? Because synthetic biology is f*cking awesome! :D
Education: 3rd year of BSc in Medical Biology Works with: Laboratory, sponsorship, human practices Why iGEM? To increase my knowledge and competence within laboratory work and research in practice.
Education: 3rd year of MSc in Engineering Biology Responsible for: Wiki Works with: Laboratory, wiki Why iGEM? To test my experiences from my education and to get a deeper view into the field of synthetic biology.
Education: 3rd year of BSc in Medical Biology Responsible for: Laboratory Works with: Laboratory, sponsorship, human practices Why iGEM? It seemed like a fun way to spend my summer.
Education: 5th year of MSc in Chemical Biology Works with: Wiki, modeling, human practices Why iGEM? The project seemed interesting and I wanted to do something new.

Our Principal Investigators are Professor Per Hammarström and Senior Lecturer Lars-Göran Mårtensson from Linköping University.
LiU iGEM was founded in 2013 at Linköping University and has been active with different projects ever since. The projects between 2013 and 2015 focused on different biosensors for allergy, while the project from 2016 focused on the production of lipids in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
