The team came up with ideas for projects and after discussions which involved all students as well as all advisors and instructors, it was decided to develop two projects. So, the team had to find a way to obtein money to subscribe in competition. For this purpose, the instructor Carlos Hotta and the student Otto Heringer had an insight of doing a video and posting it on a crowdfunding site on internet, RocketHub. It turned out to be a great idea, since the team successfully achieved the inscription fee.
The Plug&Play project was executed by the undergraduate students Cauã Westmann, Joana Guiro and Macarena Lopez. The students were supervised and helped by the instructor Edgar Andrés Ochoa C. (at that time he was a PhD student). He helped them in the development of the experiments and gave them theoretical support. The experiments were made in the GaTE Lab at Biology Institute-USP headed by Full Professor Dr. Van Sluys where the team received support and laboratory materials.
The Associative Memory Network was executed by the undergraduate students: Cleandho Marcos, Fernando Lindenberg, Liliam Oliveira, Lucas Cespedes, Otto Heringer and Pedro Medeiros; and the masters students Débora Parrine and Luíza Barros. Three laboratories gave support to this project: instructor Professor Carlos Hotta’s Lab at Chemistry Institute -USP, instructor Professor Cleslei Fernando Zanelli’s Lab and advisor Professor José Gregório’s Lab at Institute of Biomedical Sciences-USP. Those instructors and advisors not only gave support by allowing us to use their labs but also on theoretical support to solve problems on experiments.
The two mathematical models were developed by the postgraduate student Marcelo Boareto and the undergraduate students Francisco Camargo and Daniel Ariano. The advisor Professor Nestor Caticha helped the students on any doubt that came out.
