Motivation

"I am very excited to be part of the iGEM team at the University of Münster and to have the opportunity to plan, carry out, and ultimately present our own project to an international audience. Nowadays, it is easy to complain about existing problems. However, I believe it is far more important to take initiative and assume responsibility.

Our project addresses real-world challenges and demonstrates how synthetic biology can be used to develop concrete solutions. I have been engaged in science communication since my school days, and iGEM offers me the perfect opportunity to express my creativity, contribute my existing skills, and at the same time develop new competencies."
