iGEM Brazilian Team
We are an interdisciplinary group of undergraduate and graduate students from several areas. The undergrads are divided among the Chemistry Institute (USP), the Biosciences Institute (USP), the Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty (USP and Unesp) and the Polytechnic School (USP). The graduate students are from the Biomedical Sciences Institute (USP), the Chemistry Institute (USP) and the Physics Institute (USP).
Who we are
Instructors
- Edgar Andrés Ochoa Cruz (Young PhD):
I am a scientist interested in technology and inventions. Working for generating awareness of the power available on new technologies, like reverse bioinformatics (Computation in biological organisms) and synthetic biology (Energy and biofuel production applications), and the positive impact that they can generate in the life quality of world population.
This competition was the opportunity to develop my first project in the synthetic biology field. More ideas for new projects are coming ...(swordfish1313@gmail.com)
- Marie Anne Van Sluys (Full professor):
Dr. Van Sluys is full professor in the Botany Department of the University of São Paulo. She is the head of the Genomic and Transposable Elements Laboratory (GaTE). The GaTE focus is to study the impact of transposable elements in the structure, function, and diversification of bacterial and plants genomes.
- Carlos Takeshi Hotta (Assistant Professor)
I am an assistant professor in the Biochemistry Department of the University of São Paulo. I am the head of the Plant Molecular Physiology group, that focus on the role of the circadian clock in increasing plant productivity. I also write a science blog [http://scienceblogs.com.br/brontossauros].
- Cleslei Fernando Zanelli
Degree in pharmacy and biochemistry from UNESP (2002) and PhD in Biotechnology from UNESP (2006). I am currently an assistant professor in the Biological Sciences Department of Pharmacy School of Araraquara - UNESP.
