Team:USP-EEL-Brazil/Club

Clube de Biologia Sinética (Synthetic Biology Club)



CBSin (Synthetic Biology Club) consists of a group of EEL-USP students dedicated to studying and disseminating knowledge of synthetic biology. It began in 2014 at EEL with André Hermann doing his best to draw the attention of teachers and students to the subject, over time the Club is structured and with that, in 2015 the idea of participate in iGem was formulated. Then, in 2016, with CBSin already consolidated as a student entity, the first participation in iGem took place with the E. Coil Project, that received a bronze medal which gave greater visibility to the club and giving possibility to expand his activities. Today, better structured, the CBSin aims to develop and disseminate knowledge of synthetic biology in both the academic and social spheres, aiming to become a reference for the development of synthetic biology nucleuses with a focus on teamwork, determination and bioethics. Becoming a bridge that closes the gap between Brazilian science and its society.
