Wisconsin Lutheran College
The WLC-Milwaukee iGEM team gives its sincere thanks to Wisconsin Lutheran College for providing our team with excellent faculty and facilities. We are all incredibly grateful for the opportunities provided to us throughout our education here. Without Wisconsin Lutheran College, none of this would have been possible.
Dr. John Werner
Dr. John Werner, professor of biology at Wisconsin Lutheran College, has been invaluable to our iGEM team. Dr. Werner is not just our team’s PI, but a great friend and role model for our team. He has not only been able to guide our project in the right direction, but has also inspired us to fall in love with science and develop a passion for synthetic biology. Thank you, Dr. Werner!
Dr. Angela Ebeling
Dr. Angela Ebeling, professor of biology at Wisconsin Lutheran College, was very helpful in educating the team on our project this year. Dr. Ebeling has a doctorate in soil science so she was able to give us helpful information about the varying components of soil and how they could impact our project. She also was able to help us with our promotion video. Thank you, Dr. Ebeling!
