New later Bronze sponsor!! Thank you to Medical De

New later Bronze sponsor!! Thank you to Medical Delta for having decided to join our project. It is a pleasure to be able to now be able to share the results we were able to achieve with the support of sponsors like them!———————————————————————————————Medical Delta is an interdisciplinary collaboration of more than 350 scientists from Erasmus University, Erasmus MC, TU Delft, LUMC, Leiden University, and four universities of applied sciences. Together with businesses and governments, they work on technological solutions for sustainable healthcare. Medical Delta does this with fifteen interdisciplinary scientific programs and with practice-oriented field and living labs. Medical Delta thus forms the pivot of the Health & Technology ecosystem in the province of Zuid-Holland and beyond.

We thank the Bionanoscience Department at the TU Delft for their support towards the iGEM team. Most of our work is developed in their labs and facilities. In fact, almost half of our team belong to this department! ———————————————————————————————The Department of Bionanoscience (BN) focuses on the fundamental understanding of biological processes, from the level of single molecules to the full complexity of living cells. This research provides a fascinating insight into the molecular mechanisms that lead to cellular function. The department features a strongly multidisciplinary and international team of scientists, whose research areas include single-molecule biophysics, synthetic biology, as well as (quantitative) cell biology. BN has provided our team with laboratory space, supplies, and an exceptional supervisory team.

Hello everyone! Time to introduce myself, the person behind these introduction posts, and most of the images related to our team. I'm Fede and I work around design. I really like creative work and arts, so this has definitely been fun!————————————————————I’m Federico Ramirez, a 25-year-old Mexican currently studying the MSc Life Sciences & Technology at the TU Delft in the Netherlands. I joined iGEM wishing to be part of a diverse team excited to explore the possibilities synthetic biology has to tackle current humanity’s challenges. I’m the graphic design manager in the 2021 TU Delft team. This means I work around the image of the team, science communication aspects, and social media. For this, I work with the totality of the team in order to find the best way to illustrate and communicate the different areas of our project to the iGEM community and the general public. However, I like getting involved in other areas of our project, too.In my free time, I love cooking and trying new places to eat (I love spicy food), I go for walks with music, and most recently I started to practice bouldering.
