We achieved incredible things during this intense time - iGEM gave us an aim to work towards to, but we are only at the beginning of our journey.

As we are the first iGEM Team from the Berlin Charité University hospital, we started with no infrastructure at all - a great challenge and opportunity at the same time.

Special thanks & attributions go to:

Prof. Schuelke, our primary PI, and his lab at the NeuroCure Clinical Research Center of Charité Universitätsmedizin. Thank you for your patience and giving us the opportunity to to carry out this project in your lab. We greatly appreciate your help in the analysis of the tapeworm transcriptome data and writing applications for grants and for the Institutional Review Board. Without your continuous support in administrative challenges and constructive scientific feedback, our progress would not have been possible. We hope to continue the project with you and would be happy to steer the development process towards a spin out company.

Prof. Kramer, our secondary PI and his working group located on the same floor as the Schuelke Lab. Thank for the fruitful discussions on immobilization of cell free expression systems on membranes. Furthermore we want to thank his group for their patience when sharing a kitchen with our team and for helping us out with cells and reagents we borrowed from time to time.
