1. Origami Front:
   1. Alexander will send an email with an attachment/full Origami which can be opened with caDNAn o to Santiago to see how an official structure could look like.
   2. Alexander our new Expert for TEM will upload his phonenumber and schedule (he has time Thursday: 4 pm) for meetings with external people
   3. Origami people: please read the Douglas paper with the Nanorobot: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/335/6070/831.They uses a barrel structure which we could directly use and also the aptamer.
   4. We need to come up with two Origami structures: one for the GuVs, one for the LUVs;
   5. We need to meet the junior Group-leader (Zhang) in B-cube who can functionalize Origami-staples with cholesterol linkers.
   6. Praveen explains about aptamers, we could use them for cancer targeting;
   7. Things to consider-> final result we want to obtain should not interfere with the aptamer (vesicles?)
   8. Maybe a prism structure for the origami
2. Funding:
3. We meet Juliane Hoth 19.06.2012: 9:30 am at BioTec, she will be responsible for our account
4. Key questions: How to pay and to order. Ask Susan Fischer if she can accompany us to Juliane. We would like her to sent the official Letter´s to the companies in German (with her address; name, email…). If it doesn´t work we could ask Prof. Diez or the Seidel group…we will discuss this on Monday with Stefan Diez in the cellular machines lecture.
5. Wiki:
   • 50% of the final mark, Santiago is working on it
6. Video:
   • Thomas met Shruti today-> She might be really helpful do to his media experience. We have already some ideas to catch people s attention. Important is to have a main theme in the video…like stars, water, ….
7. GUV Front:
   1. Please ask Aleksander (Olek) about further experimental steps, ask him what we need to order.
   2. Aleksander (Olek) will do LUVs next week; Karen and Praveen will join him;
