Competences

Bastiaan

As a bioinformatics student my contribution to this project will mainly be:

• Searching for information in online biological databases (e.g. searching for genes, searching for metabolic pathways with certain functions)
• Mathematical modeling - not a core competence, but I have some experience with it.
• Numerical simulation (matlab)
• Image analysis (e.g. analysing images made with a microscope)
• Writing software (when needed)
• All the computer nerd stuff: wiki, registration of standard biological parts, ...

Oscar

My experience in working with cells will be the main contribution probably during this project. I've some knowledge of bioinformatics (BLAST etc. and molecular imaging software). I think that the following compettences could be handy within our project

• General Lab experience
• Knowledge on molecular biology
• Well trained pipetting thumb :-)
• A little bit of bioinformatics, but that's probably best left to Bastiaan.

Ruud

My contributions and competences are comparable to Oscar's. General lab practice experience from practicals and two interns and some experience in bioinformatics from several courses. My competences:

• General lab experience in molecular biology
• Experience in team-work from projects and interns
• Know-how in the field of molecular biology
• Also my thumb is up to the task of pipetting
• Some knowledge on bioinformatics

Steven

I have general experience in the laboratory practises, but my contributions to the project will hopefully also be in the fields of ethics in biotechnology. The personal competences that might prove useful in our iGEM project:

• General lab experiences
• Team project experiences
• Ethics in industrial biotechnology
• One strong thumb that may prove to be useful for a number of tasks...

Farzad

• Softwares: MATLAB, Mechanical Softwares if needed
• Bioinspired Computing (Genetic Algorithms,...) , Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic

Rad

• Modeling with MATLAB
• Numerical modeling and methods
