</b><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On her last year of college, she works in the Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology group, with synthesis of multifunctional nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Paula always tries to help the team whenever she can, and her main contributions to the project were: literature review in modeling and devulcanization, project presentation in Jamboré, and searching for sponsors to the team. <br/> <br/>

<span class="TextoVerde">Why iGEM:</span> I believe that the team gives me the opportunity to develop new abilities. Studying synthetic biology helped me to expand my horizons, going out of my comfort zone. I lost my fears of presentation, which is a big step for me. Learning  that,  this competition is a great opportunity to increase my professional and personal experiences. I never thought I would enjoy studying modeling and working in Entrepreneurship!

Although in a larger scale (millimeters to meters), mathematical modeling always has been Thiago’s passion, having briefly experienced Solid State physics, Financial Market, Neuroscience and Population Dynamics. He helped in the organization and discussion of results and designed all the predictions models of our project. <br/> <br/>

<span class="TextoVerde">Why iGEM:</span> Science itself is reaching that point where there aren’t anymore boundaries separating different areas of expertise anymore. In this sense, Synthetic Biology and Systems Biology appear to be the flagship towards multidisciplinarity. For this transition, modeling and data analysis are certainly on the spotlight. I thought iGEM would give me a chance to strengthen my knowledge base and expand my skills on modeling and data analysis. I could learn a lot with my teammates and contribute to make this huge project happen!

<span class="TextoVerde">Why iGEM:</span> It is important to expand your knowledges and discover new areas. Therefore, iGEM seemed as an opportunity to explore a subject I have never worked with before and it proved to be as instigating as I expected. I have learned and I am still learning a lot, whether in the synthetic biology field or working as a group. I am excited to contribute to science and the environment with this project.
