Kristina

Team Lead

(1)Analysis - Analysed lab results for further experimental design and planning of lab work, looked at previous designs and workflows from iGEM teams regarding the nanobody construct

(2)Background Research - extensive research on α-amanitin, its pharmacokinetics and toxicology, on nanobodies, recombinant nanobody production and extracellular secretion

(3)Conceptualization - Active brainstorming, design and development of all plasmid constructs for nanobody and GFP

(4)Fundraising - reached out to various possible sponsors

(5)Human Practice - reached out to experts, helped organizing and participated in talks with Prof. Clara Schoeder, Prof. Florian Eyer, Prof. Dominik Begerow, Prof. Alejandro Rojas-Fernandez, Dr. Waldemar Schäfer, Bettina Haberl, Dr. Dorothee Schwinge, Dr. Julia Offe

(6)Investigation - Performing of experiments for expression, purification and identification of protein constructs, collection of data

(7)Notebook/record keeping - documentation of experimental procedures, results and decisions

(8)Project Administration - Team leader, keeping track of ongoing work in the sub-teams, delegating new tasks, organizing weekly organisation meeting and lab progress meetings

(9)Public Engagement and outreach - one of the authors for BIOSpektrum article, one of the authors of the book "What do lab coats and llamas have in common?" on nanobodies, represented team at iGEM meetups and workshops (BFH European Meetup, DTU Biobuilders Workshop, Mini-Jamboree in Eindhoven), represented team at CSSB retreat day and Student's Life Science Conference, helped organizing Hamburg International Summer School

(10)Safety - preliminary and final safety form, check-in form on work with amanitin, author of operating instructions and risk assessment on amanitin, reached out to various experts and gathered information on amanitin, especially on waste disposal

(11)Writing - Wrote several texts for the wiki, presentations, poster, live stage talk proposal, book on nanobodies and reviewed texts from others

Lucy

Team Lead

(1)Analysis - Interpreted laboratory results to inform experimental design and plan subsequent lab work

(2)Conceptualization - Designed and developed experimental approaches for LNP and nanobody production; created theoretically in vitro proof-of-concept experiments with hepatocytes; reviewed workflows and strategies from previous iGEM teams; brainstorming and development of the children's book

(3)Background Research - Conducted in-depth research on lipid nanoparticles, hepatocytes, α-amanitin, Amanita mushrooms, and nanobody applications

(4)Investigation - Performed laboratory experiments including protein expression, isolation, purification, and identification; collected and analyzed data

(5)Notebook/Record Keeping - Maintained the digital lab notebook, documented experimental procedures, results, and decisions; recorded and translated some human practices interviews

(6)Project Administration - Served as team leader; coordinated sub-project teams (nanobody, LNP, dry lab); tracked project progress and deadlines; delegated tasks; organized weekly organizational and lab progress meetings

(7)Fundraising - Overview of finances, Identified and contacted potential sponsors; managed sponsor relations and ongoing communication

(8)Public Engagement & Outreach - Researched and contacted experts; co-organized and participated in discussions with Prof. Florian Eyer, Bettina Haberl, Dr. Dorothee Schwinge (LiverLab), and Dr. Julia Offe, Dr. Ario deMarco and Dr. Klara Kropivšek, Co-authored an article for "BIOSpektrum" and the book "What Do Lab Coats and Llamas Have in Common?" on nanobodies; represented the team at iGEM meetups (BFH European Meetup, Taiwan Meetup, Mumbai Meetup, TAU Meetup, DTU Biobuilders Workshop, Mini-Jamboree Eindhoven), at the Student's Life Science Conference, and at Hamburg International Summer School; contributed to science communication via social media

(9)Visualization - Created scientific illustrations, posters, and presentations; produced and edited videos; contributed photography and social media visuals

(10)Writing - Authored and reviewed texts for the wiki, presentations, posters, and the nanobody book

(11)Safety - Assisted with preparation of the preliminary safety form and check-in form regarding work with α-amanitin
