CATE would have never been possible without the tremendous support and guidance of our advisors, supervisors and experts. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to the completion and success of CATE!

Project support and advice


Advisors
Our advisors gave feedback to our experiment designs, identified bugs in our codes and were always there to answer any questions we had – even during their vacation! They checked in regularly to make sure we were on track and reassured us when something was not working in the expected way. Daniel and Claude were part of the 2014 iGEM team of ETH Zürich.

  • Daniel Gerngross
    • Daniel helped us with the initial setup of the lab, double-checked our experimental designs and introduced us to the Ligase Cycling Reaction (LCR) technique. He helped us out with the plate reader experiments and managed to like every single one of our social media posts.
  • Christoph Stelzer
    • Chrostoph provided us mammalian cell lines and a lot of advice in experiment design.
  • Claude Lormeau
    • Claude was the specialist in computational biology and helped to define the strategy for our models. She was always around to discuss results and optimize the procedure. With her extensive experience she contributed to the successful implementation of the models and connecting the outcomes to the experimental work.

Supervisors
Besides providing a dedicated iGEM Laboratory in the facility of the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel, the professors helped us in general decisions by asking critical questions and pointing out difficulties. During our weekly meetings, they kept the overview of our project and supported us in chosing a direction for the project. With their knowledge, they were able to draw our attention to issues that might appear in future, so that we could prevent problems or adapt early to difficult situations.
  • Prof. Dr. Sven Panke
    • experiments design, scientific data presentation, advice for project goals and approaches
  • Prof. Dr. Jörg Stelling
    • Modelisation
  • Prof. Dr. Yaakov Benenson
    • Workflow design and models

Lab and Technique Support
  • Benenson and Panke Lab
    • Thank you for lending us your LB when we ran out of it or ours got contaminated, allowing us to use your equipment and letting us bother you in general!
  • Irene Wüthrich
    • Irene advised us on the use of protein E and provided us the gene and its sequence for further amplifications and cloning experiments.
  • Margaux Dastor
    • Margaux shared her extensive knowledge about mammalian cell cultures with us and helped us with the handling when in doubt.

General support
  • BSSE Shop
    • Thank you for assisting us with our purchases!

Outreach
  • XYZ
    • XYZ connected us with D-BSSE Meets Industry and providing us with a slot to talk about our project.
  • Beat Werner
    • Beat Werner set us in contact with Prof. Dr. Rudin and thus facilitated our MRI experiments.
