My favorite pipette size is 20 µl because it’s perfect for precise tasks like PCR, which I enjoy the most in the lab. I’m fascinated by the metabolism of organisms and how we can tweak it to achieve cool scientific goals—that’s why I chose biotechnology! I’m a collector of “just-in-case” items and a lover of Dancing. If I could have a superpower, it would be to relive my happiest moments again and again.

I've always been fascinated by the mysteries of life, from the vastness of space to the tiniest creatures—especially the resilient Deinococcus radiodurans.

My favourite pipette size is 100 ul, it just has a special place in my heart. My questions are always about the least important details. Mark my words, Kevin them, I will turn E. coli into a meth head. Petting a dog will make my day, and I love to share everything besides my toothbrush and my partner. I’m a Sci-Fi series addict and would be over the moon if I went there for astrobio experiments. Peace and quiet and some Frenchcore.

My favourite bacteria is Corynebacterium glutamicum and my favourite gene is Wag1. I am most passionate about allowing advancements in synthetic biology to become practically established in the real world. I wish for a rational world and a bright future through the crises to come. I find respite from the daily most often in music, but also through photography.

I chose my specialty because, as a kid, I watched cartoons about mutants and wanted to become one. That childhood fascination turned into a lasting obsession with genetics and genetic engineering - I wanted to understand how it all works, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love my girlfriend, (she’s my guardian angel) and my family; they’re the reason I get up in the morning. I also love the sun, warm weather, cycling, eating octopus, drinking wine, and sleeping in late.

My favorite bacterium is E. coli and my favorite pipette size is 200 µL. I study biology because I like genetic engineering. I am passionate about sports, because I like moving. My favorite book is “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. My favorite artists are Ceza and Denzel Curry.

​Synthetic biology inspires me as a transformative frontier where engineering meets life itself. I am driven by the potential to redesign biological systems not only to understand nature, but to solve pressing challenges. The elegance of modular design, the promise of programmable cells, and the ability to reimagine life at the molecular level just inspire me. I am motivated to contribute to a future where biology is not merely observed, but actively shaped for the benefit of humanity and the planet.

My favourite pipette size is 100µl. I love the plants Epipremnum aureum ‘marble queen’ and Alocasia ‘Jacklyn’. My favourite number is 2. What I like in other people is when they talk about something they’re passionate about and their eyes light up with excitement. If I could have any superpower, it would be flying without getting tired.

I’m really passionate about biology, with a particular interest in E. coli, formate as a carbon source, and using a P200 pipette. I enjoy the season of fall, watching bears, growing sedum plants, and making all kinds of pasta. Calvin and Hobbes is a favorite read, and I love the film "Portrait de la jeune fille en feu." Moving abroad was a big turning point for me, and I’d like to be remembered for my enthusiasm.

If I could have a superpower, it would be Teleporting (A way to evade public transport delays and use less fuel contributing to the circular bioeconomy ;). My ideal food is something that is healthy and crispy. Generally open to all cuisines.

I kicked off my science adventure in Chemical Engineering, dreaming of working in a petrochemical plant with those cool flares! But my passion for living in a sustainable future kept bugging me. So, I switched to Biotechnology. That’s when I found metabolic engineering is like a holy buffet of everything! Oh, and a side note: keep yeast away from me! They always mess with my favorite bacteria, E.coli!
