Acknowledgements
Since the birth of the idea about creating an iGEM team (two years ago), this project was helped by many people. We wish to use this page to thank everyone who made this obstinate student initiative possible.
- Dr. Mateus Lopes Schreiner
Every history have a beginnig and character who begins to plot. With an inspiring and enthusiastic feeling, Dr. Mateus ignited the fire that became an persistent student effort to create am iGEM team and learn more about synthetic biology. His encouraging support was fundamental to the existence of the group today.
- Prof. Carlos Takeshi Hotta
Another key player in the formation of the brazilian iGEM team this year was professor Hotta. His motivational presence was extremelly important for the stablishment of the group as a student initiative. This presence became more intense when he offered the opportunity to put our projects on pratice in his lab, being our instructor. Without his strategic and smart advices, we would not be capable to do important right decisions for the group.
- Prof. Marie-Anne Van Sluys
The trust and support of prof. Marie-Anne was crucial to the feasibility of a brasilian iGEM team this year. Always concerned about education and innovative ways to teach and learn, prof. Marie was essential to the initiative turning availble the space and resources from GaTE Lab to the iGEM experiments.
- Prof. Nestor Caticha
His inspiring hungry to new subjects to learn without academic barriers was the driven force behind his important contribuition to the group. A little brainstromming is a valuable resource if it is done with Nestor. Thanks to his provocative insight, we were able to propose the design of a bacterial system who can have an associative memory.
- Prof. Luiziana Silva and Prof Gregorio Gomez
This dinamic duo was very important to advising about organizational, scientific and political issues about the projects and the initiative itself. With their help, we were able to organize the Synthetic Biology Club, what lead us to develop our insights and ideas for projects.
- Prof. Gláucia Mendes Souza
Her support was vital to the practical development of the project. Offering her lab and resources to our project was another key element that makes all this possible.
- Prof. Cleslei Zanelli
Prof. Zanelli not only kindly supported our iniciative, but was a key element bonding USP and Unesp, advising and helping Fernando Lindenberg to make an great job, even away from the rest of the group (for geographical reasons).
