Team
Brasil-SP team
Our team reunites 3 great universities in Brazil, University of São Paulo (USP), Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar)
and São Paulo State University (UNESP) and is composed for students and professors 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 and Danilo were 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 gives a little help in many areas of the project but mainly with the financials. 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 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 of 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.
Bruno Ono
University of São Paulo/USP
Masters Student
Physical and Biomolecular Sciences
Bruno is also known as Kuririn, but, as far as we know, he is not looking for any Dragon Ball. Now he works with Photodynamic Therapy in Biophotonics laboratory at São Carlos Institute of Physics - USP.
Célio Dias Santos Júnior
Federal University of São Carlos
Master Student
Evolutionary Genetics and Molecular Biology
He's working to introduce some freshmen to hard job on Molecular Biology lab, sometimes is good have someone to do those boring research steps. His work focus in enzymes optimization, with bench approaches to directed in vitro evolution of an aromatic amino acid ammonia-lyase derived from an in silico metagenome and consensus sequences chimerization process, through DNA shuffling and also error-prone PCR.
Ivan Rosa e Silva
University of São Paulo/USP
PhD Student
Physical and Biomolecular Sciences
He has been involved with biobricks assemblies design and wet lab experiments.
He is currently studying Trypanosoma brucei spliceosome as part of his PhD tesis project.
Fernando Takeshi Tanouye
University of São Paulo/USP
Master Student
Physical and Biomolecular Sciences
Participant of the modeling trio, together with André and Pedrão. Enjoys playing science and do cool things with others, like iGem. Currently studies folding of ideal triangular proteins that exists only in his imagination.
Laís Canniatti Brazaca
University of São Paulo/USP
Masters Student
Physical and Biomolecular Sciences
She currently works in the Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology group developing biosensors for medical applications. Her main contribution to our project was in the biosafety and characterization areas.
Laís Ribovski
University of São Paulo/USP
Masters Student
Physical and Biomolecular Sciences
She currently works in the Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology group developing biosensors for medical applications. Her main contribution to our project was in the biosafety and characterization areas.
Raissa Ferreira Gutierrez
University of São Paulo/USP
Masters Student
Physical and Biomolecular Sciences
She works together with Danilo in the Molecular Biology Lab to optimize and perform the biobricks assemblies. Currently, she is studying a protein involved in the ribosome biogenesis. She is always happy with a smile on her face.
Teresa Cristina Leandro de Jesus

Francis de Morais Franco Nunes
Federal University of São Carlos
Professor of Genetics with expertise in genomics and transcriptomics.
What a researcher in bee genetics would be doing at iGEM? Perhaps the buzz of synthetic biology 'BEEwitched' him, or maybe he was literally stung by this cutting edge Science.
