Lecture in the “Week of Industrial Biotechnology”
We were invited by the Usp-EEL-Brazil Igem’s team of 2016 to hold a lecture in the academic event “Week of Industrial Biotechnology” at the University of São Paulo, Lorena Campus. Our team brought a new view of probiotics and genetically modified organisms in the treatment of diseases, showing that is possible to use engineered cells with health increase purposes. In this experience, we could present our Insubiota project for almost 100 people and exchange interesting knowledge with biochemistry engineering students.

BiotecShow
BiotecShow is an event hosted by the UNESP Araraquara National League of Biotechnology Academics(LiNA Araraquara) that aims to show people how biotechnology is integrated in our daily lives by doing several experiment and expositions. Our team took part in the 2016 BiotecShow, where we could present a poster about our project and synthetic biology.

Health Fair
We also took part in a health fair hosted by the Student Permanent Pharmaceutical Assistance Program of our faculty in our city. In the fair, there was a diabetes stand where people could check their blood glucose level and receive orientation about. Our team presented again a poster about the project to spread it and help the awareness of diabetes. Besides that, we gave them yoghurt made by us and, in exchange, we ask them to donate whatever amount of money to help us raising fund to our project.

Summer Course in MATLAB
When we start to define our project and check what we were going to develop, we noticed that the mathematical modeling and the MATLAB software work would be a challenge for us. To overcome this obstacle, our team arranged a summer (or winter if you’re in the North hemisphere) course in MATLAB open to everyone who wanted to learn about it. In this course, it was introduced basic concepts on mathematical modeling and how to use MATLAB. The course was taught by an expert professor and had a duration of 5 days, 4 hours/day. To help in our fundraising, we charged a fee of R$ 50 (~ US$ 15) from all participants, 26 in total.
