Team

Brasil-SP team, because in Brazil, Brazil is spelled with S!
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'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.

    Luciano Zane Filho

    Federal University of São Carlos/UFSCar
    Undergraduate Student
    Biotechnology
    He's 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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Instructors

    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.

    Advisors

    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.
