Atributions

The UFMG_Brazil iGEM team was responsible for nearly all aspects of the project. We are thankful we could put up an amazing and diverse team that could make this happen. Every single member worked hard and was committed from the beginning to the very last minute to the iGEM rollercoaster experience. We are the pioneers in Synthetic Biology in our University, for what we are really proud. It is a big challenge and we are still learning. Here is what each one of us has done for the project (in addition of having a great time!).

Acknowledgments

First of all, we would like to thank our team members’ instructors for supporting their student’s participation on this competition. Prof. Erika Cristina Jorge, Prof. Antero Ribeiro and M.Sc. Josiely Gomes, Prof. Daniella Bartolomeu, Prof. Simone Gonçalves.
We thank all the partner laboratories for allowing us to use their infrastructure, donating reagents, exchanging knowledge, loving biology as much as we do and for getting on board with our crazy SynBio project:

 Laboratório de Biologia Sintética e Biomiméticos (ICB-UFMG)
 Laboratório de Biologia Oral e do Desenvolvimento (ICB-UFMG)
 Laboratório de Microbiologia Oral e Anaeróbios (ICB-UFMG)
 Laboratório de Imunologia e Genômica de Parasitos (ICB-UFMG), specially Prof. Ricardo Toshio Fujiwara and Prof. Daniella Castanheira Bartholomeu
 Centro de Desenvolvimento da Tecnologia Nuclear (CDTN-UFMG) and the Faculdade de Farmácia da UFMG, for making the Biodistribution test possible. Specially Prof. Antero Andrade and Prof. André Barros.
 Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), for cultivating the centrin-/- Leishmania donovani strain on their NB-2 lab

We also thank Professor Flávio Almeida Amaral, for enlightening the inflammatory responses process related to rheumatoid arthritis to us, as well as exchanging ideas on how to test our devices in vivo.

Last but certainly not least, we would like to thank from the bottom of our hearts all the 56 crowdfunding donors that helped our team get to Boston! You are awesome!
