Who we are
Instructors
I am a scientist interested in technology and inventions. Working for generating awareness of the power available on current technologies and the positive impact that can be generated through them to improve the life quality of the world population. (swordfish1313@gmail.com)
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 genomes and plants.
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].

Undergrads
I'm a Biology undergratuate student at USP and an eternal lover of life and all its aspects. I'm always trying to understand and connect evetything in an holistic evolutionary aproach.
I like to understand how life works and how we are related to it. I also like to help people and get to know them. My hobbies are: plants science, hiking and camping.
Chico is a molecular scientist who found his place in the modeling team. He says work and studies are for leisure time - having fun is his obligation.
Is an undergraduate of fifth year in biology at USP, besides iGEM, works with industrial microbiology, biodegradable plastics and molecular biology.
