MSc. Biotechnology, 3rd semester. What is your motivation for joining the iGEM team? Synthetic biologists are the next rockstars! Not just me who’s saying that, according to wired.com: "biologists are the next rock star designers" Theater or cinema? Cinema, because it’s for young people. I will engineer my own genes to stay forever young. What did you work on during the project? I worked very hard in the lab during the summer, designing and executing the CRISPR strategy for the insertion of the URA3 gene. I helped plan and host a lecture during our BioBrick tutorial, and helped supervising the high-school students in the lab.
