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
