Team

The Brasil-SP team gathers three of the best Brazilian universities. Undergraduate, postgraduate students and professors of University of São Paulo (USP), Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and São Paulo State University (UNESP) joined to form a unique team. The team is composed of students from several backgrounds, but mostly physicists and biologists.












    Student Members

    Brenda Clara Moreira

    Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
    Undergraduate Student
    Biotechnology

         At first sight, Brenda is apparently introverted, but in reality she is full of skills - she was the protagonists of our crowndfunding video. She actively participated in efforts to raise funds to enable us enter the competition as well as during the stages of formation and consolidation of the Brasil-SP team and project design.

    Camila Bramorski

    University of São Paulo/USP
    Undergraduate Student
    Physical and Biomolecular Sciences

         She helps in many areas of the project but mainly with the financials and with the wiki webdesign and construction. She is responsible for recording the weekly group reunion and for making some jokes.

    Danilo Keiji Zampronio

    University of São Paulo/USP
    Undergraduate Student
    Physical and Biomolecular Sciences

         Wet lab slave. Working on the assemblies and experimental strategies with enthusiasm. Also participated in the wiki, presentation and poster construction and design. And more importantly, he was responsable for receiving the boxes he loves so much.

    Guilherme Engelberto Kundlatsch

    Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
    Undergraduate Student
    Biotechnology

         He is working at Biology Molecular lab with our circuit construction and characterization and at Microbiology lab studying our chassis. His great capacity of thinking in new outlandish ideas helps us with our project. Directly from a cold land, he is a boy as young as synthetic biology. Better known as Yoshi, he is carrying our team to give 1 UP in iGEM.

    Jonathan Ballico de Moraes

    Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
    Undergraduate Student
    Biotechnology

         He is working in the Microbiology and Molecular Biology lab. Our star at Dodgeball Biotechnology Team. Never miss the target, with a ball or a pipette. With his foresaw abilities, he can see our kidney sensing winning the iGEM competition.

    Luciano Zane Filho

    Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
    Undergraduate Student
    Biotechnology

         Luciano is best known as "Dode", a nickname from a wonderful sweet made with milk, but he looks more like a mad scientist. We have an Einstein on our team working on Microbiology and Molecular Biology wet lab.

    Mariana Trevisan

    Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
    Undergraduate Student
    Biotechnology

         Mariana is working in Molecular Biology with lab circuit construction and supporting experiments at Microbiology lab. She hates tidying her bedroom, preferring to devote all her time to study and practice synthetic biology.

    Matheus Pedrino Gonçalves

    Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
    Undergraduate Student
    Biotechnology

         He's working in Microbiology, with the determination of sporulation and characterization, and Molecular Biology wet lab. He's always organizing our tasks and handling the financial part. He does some magic to help us out, after all, he's our Harry Potter!

    Monique Gasparoto Freitas

    University of São Paulo/USP
    Researcher

         Monique holds a degree in Physical and Biomolecular Sciences and is a huge iGEM enthusiast. She had a blast participating on iGEM in 2012 and now is helping out the Brasil-SP team to take the best out of this experience!

    Pedro Medeiros

    University of São Paulo/USP
    Undergraduate Student

         Has a degree in Biological Sciences and is currently pursuing a degree in Pharmacy-Biochemistry
    Intern in the chemical industry. Among his personal interests are general applications of new technologies in society, biotechnology, crowdsourcing projects, open development and anything that could bring more freedom, independence, social development and improvement in crucial aspects, such as energy, potable water, fuels, food and, mainly, education. He believes science and technology as a way to improve and unite companies' activities, environmentally correct practices and social initiatives toward a better world. Currently working in the establishment of the first DIYbio and Biohacking group in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

    Victor Rabesquine

    University of São Paulo/USP
    Undergraduate Student
    Physical and Biomolecular Sciences

         He tried to help a bit in many areas, especially in financial, but no employment answered him, so he decided to cosplay… Now he’s been working with synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials.

    André Schraider Maizel

    University of São Paulo/USP
    PhD Student
    Statistical Physics
