Hello, world!
I’m Marco Campanário.

Currently, I am a Biological Sciences Undergrad at the Federal University of Paraná and a CNPq Scientific Initiation Intern at the Laboratory of Human Cytogenetics and Oncogenetic ( LabCHO) @ Erastinho Oncopediatric Hospital. I’m mostly interested in Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology and Evolution.

During the whole undergraduate time, I was involved in several research projects, and received awards for the best undergraduate research and outstanding academic performance. I am a Freshman Award laureate by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep) and the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI). I also received the awards for Best Research, Best Design, Best Technique and 1st Place at the National Competition of Microbiological Collections and Molecular Genetics (CoNaCoM 2020) and Best Research at the Brazilian Congress of Molecular Biology (ConBraMol 2020) and other scientific events.

I have already worked with Microalgal Genetics (i. e. microalgal biomass enhancement for biofuel production, micro- and macroscale green microalgae and diatom cultivation and cell transformation), with Biology and Science Teaching (such as the development of educational games on Genetics and Evolution), and with Cancer-regulating lncRNAs (for example, leukemia-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lncRNAs on Brazilian populations).

I am also part of a professional dance company (Epifania Dance Project) directed by the genious and inspiring choreographer Guiga de Souza. I participated in big dance events such as FIH2 (Curitiba - PR), RioH2K (Rio de Janeiro - RJ) and O Movimento (Maringá - PR).
