Meet Our Team

I have joined iGEM to gain knowledge in other fields of study. I am excited for the practical work and troubleshooting that comes with the new project.

Project Leader

I have been interested in molecular biotechnology since my early school years and have stuck with it ever since. I am fascinated by both laboratory work and bioinformatics and iGEM lets me use both in a project.

Project Leader

Hi! My name is Linn and I just finished my bachelor's in biology. My main interest is anything molecular within biology! Participating in iGEM sounded like a fun challenge. Moreover, I thought it would be very educational and a good insight into how a real research project is planned and performed.

Linn Herman
BSc Biology

Wet Lab, Human Pactices, Team Building

I enjoy working in both wet and dry labs, especially regarding problem-solving. iGEM caught my attention as a student-driven project that offers hands-on experience in synthetic biology and fosters interactive learning within the team.

Tomas Estvall
BSc Molecular Biology

Wet Lab, Dry Lab, Fundraising

I am passionate about climate and environmental questions and I also like coming up with lots of ideas and learning new things. So iGEM seemed like a really cool opportunity to combine academics, sustainability and creativity. On top of that, you get to work with a team of awesome like-minded students and make new friends: in other words, a win-win situation!

Ebba Ganslandt
MSc Student within Cell and Molecular Biology

Wet Lab, Human Pactices, Team Building

I'm passionate about synthetic biology, problem-solving, and using science to create real-world impact. I joined iGEM to push the boundaries of what students can do with science. I wanted to be part of a project where we build something meaningful from scratch, scientifically and socially and iGEM was the perfect place for that.

Melvine Nginyu
MSc Student within Applied Biotechnology

Dry Lab, Human Pactices, Documentation

I joined iGEM 2025 to gain hands-on research experience, improve my lab skills, and grow in team settings. I enjoy learning new things and saw iGEM as a great opportunity to challenge myself, meet new people, and do something exciting and meaningful over the summer.

Sefora Gebrekidan
BSc Student within Biology/Molecular Biology

Wet Lab, Visual Design, Human Pactices

I was eager to explore something new, unrelated to medicine, and working with an organism I hadn't heard of before has been a fascinating experience!

Arina Vakhrameeva
BSc Student within Biomedicine

Wet Lab, Human Pactices, Team Building

For me, iGEM is an opportunity to hopefully contribute meaningfully to the future of biology research and sustainability. I'm deeply passionate about all the fascinating life forms that surround us (like Chlamy!) and how we can better understand and protect them as part of a more sustainable world.

Alva Sjöström
BSc Biology

Wet Lab, Visual Design, Social Media

I have always been a very big nature lover, which made me choose to study biology. I joined iGEM as I wanted to become part of this wonderful community, which has contributed so much to science.

Sofija Gabrilavičūtė
MSc Cell and Molecular Biology

Wet Lab, Dry Lab, Human Pactices

I joined iGEM to get more wet lab experience and for the chance to apply my bioinformatics knowledge to a project with real world impact.

Matthew Redmayne
MSc Student within Bioinformatics

Wet Lab, Dry Lab, Wiki

I joined iGEM to put my knowledge and skills into practice, not just theory. For me, it's about acting to change things, learning through challenges, and honing abilities while collaborating with a passionate team.
