Meet the LACQUASE TEAM
Cibele Zolnier Sousa do Nascimento
I'm a undergraduate student in Biochemical Engineering at USP Lorena. What else can I tell you about me? Well, let's start by saying that I've always dreamed of becoming a scientist. When I got in USP, I met the Synthetic Biology Club (CBSin) and there I found a new passion on SynBio and a goal in attending to iGEM. I'm super excited that this dream is becoming true for me and the whole team. We are enjoying it the best we can!

Taise Schraier de Quadros
Halo! My name is Taise, and I am a Biochemical Engineering undergraduate student. I’m really excited about innovation and awesome ideas that can change the world, and I really feel this vibe in biotechnology! Fascinates me the infinite possibilities that synthetic biology opens to solve daily simple problems, or even the big problems. I admire young scientists that are exploring synthetic biology, and I want to be part of this revolution as well!

Fernando
My name is Fernando, a Biochemical Engineering student. I love to understand nature and how things work. Since I was a kid I used to simulate scientific experiments or build toys and I studied to do these, making some hypotheses to describe and understand phenomena, like a scientist. It was my dream and now it has come true!! My other dream is to be a teacher and I hope to be able to contribute to the development of humanity.

Marcus
Hello crazy people, I'm Marcus, a musician and a biochemical engineering student! I always loved build new things and learn about science stuffs. In high school, I was introduced to biotechnology and how science can save lives. Since that, my biggest dream is that people can have a decent education and a chance to do good things with their knowledge, like I try to do. As John Dewey would say: “Education is not the preparation for life, education is life itself”.

Camila
Hey! I'm Camila, a biochemical engineering student! I've always loved biochemistry even when I did not know what was biology or chemistry. This curiosity had always pushed me up. Some years later, I'm still the young girl trying to figure out how things work and how can I make it better. My best wish is to help people find what they love and inspire them to go on for it!
