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's working at molecular biology lab on the construction and characterization of our circuit and also, at microbiology lab studying our chassis

Jonathan Ballico de Moraes

Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
Undergraduate Student
Biotechnology
He is helping in the Microbiology and Molecular Biology 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 part of Microbiology along with the determination of sporulation and characterization, and molecular biology.

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.

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.

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

University of São Paulo/USP
Postdoc
Physical and Biomolecular Sciences
She has been helping in the Molecular Biology Lab and with the biobricks assemblies. She studies nuclear proteomics of Trypanosoma.

Cleslei Fernando Zanelli

State University of São Paulo/UNESP
Professor
Although Cleslei looks like a Hollywood pop star, he is actually a Professor. He is currently working in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology fields, with emphasis in metabolism of mRNA and translational control of gene expression using yeast as biological model.

Iêda Maria Martinez Paino

University of São Paulo/USP
Postdoctoral
Ph.D. in Biosciences Applied to Pharmacy, Hematology Area.
She is involved in the characterization of parts by flow cytometry.
Her research interests are Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology, investigation of the interactions between nanoparticles/ nanomaterials and graphene with normal and cancer cells for cytotoxicity and genotoxicity evaluation in vitro for cancer treatment.
