Milou Meulendijks

Team Manager & Entrepreneurship

“Small in stature, but mighty in presence!”, that is how Milou can be described. As our Team Captain, she expertly guides us in the right direction throughout the project. Not only does she provide valuable insights, but she’s also a great listener. No matter the issue, Milou is always there with a supportive, listening ear. When she's not busy with iGEM, she enjoys partying to the music of her favorite DJ, John Summit.

Luna Rašković

Secretary & Public Relations

Luna is our social media queen. She takes most of our pictures and even though she is kind of shy, she's really easy to talk to. If you've talked to our team you've probably sproken to her already. She's always stressing about needing to get a thousand things done, but she always manages.

Lucas van Osenbruggen

Modeling and Finances & Sponsorship

A member from the team from Dresden once said: "Lucas could sell me a car I don't need", and that's totally true. Lucas is also dubbed the "car salesman" in our team and we're glad he's responsible for sponsorship. He wants to help everywhere and does 1000 things at a time. Somehow he still manages to get it all done.

Simon Rose

Lab

Simon is interested in many things and ready to help out in all kinds of aspects of the project. No matter how busy his schedule gets, his relaxed and optimistic attitude remains unaffected. He works with patience and endurance and helps those of us who are less blessed with stress resistance with some down-to-earth advice. Simon also likes to be active on our ‘bullshit’ Discord channel with memes that make us laugh about our problems.

Marijn ter Weeme

Wiki & Website

Every team needs a Marijn. iGEM, as we all know, can have its ups and downs. When it is hard Marijn will always be there to cheer you up. Whether it is about ridiculous dillemas, a new song or just a joke. The iGEM day doesn't start until Marijn is there, and therefore it usually starts a bit late.

Joyce Mendes Pols

Design & Human Practices

Joyce is very creative, open-minded and has real designing and communication skills. She is very hard-working, but also good at celebrating from time to time. In our team she is known to be the Griever, because she used to enjoy destroying peoples houses on minecraft. Luckily, she was not in the mood during iGEM and earned the title of Design Queen!

Christy Fredrix

Human Practices & Education

Meet Christy, our team's go-to for all things that need to be organized, earning her the well-deserved title of our "Office-Manager". With a passion for working with students, she loves creating educational experiences that are inspiring. When she's not keeping everything in line, you might just catch her cruising around on her motorcycle—proving she's as adventurous as she is organized!

Lizette Sun

Lab

Lizette is a kind, intelligent, self-reserved girl who initially seems quiet, but once she opens up, her true personality shines through. She will often make you laugh by catching you off guard with her unexpected funny comments. She has done her fair share of lab related tasks and is very organized in that aspect, until you enter the lab with her and see that she can be quite chaotic as well. Nonetheless, she gets her stuff done on time and properly.
