Researcher Tatiana Sampaio will speak at the 'Science For Them' event at the University of São Paulo in São Carlos, focusing on her work with polylaminin for spinal injury treatment.
Tatiana Sampaio, a biologist leading research on polylaminin, an experimental substance for the treatment of spinal injuries, is set to participate in the 2026 edition of the 'Science For Them' event at the University of São Paulo (USP) in São Carlos. This event aims to highlight and discuss the contributions of women in science. Sampaio’s speech is anticipated to draw significant interest, as she shares insights into her pioneering work with polylaminin, which has potential implications for medical treatments.
The 'Science For Them' initiative, created in 2019, serves to promote the visibility and representation of women in scientific fields. It includes not only keynote speeches but also panels and mentoring activities designed to inspire young women in academia and research. The event fosters a community where female scientists can share their experiences, discuss challenges, and encourage the next generation to pursue careers in science and technology.
Scheduled for Friday, the 13th, the event will open registration on Tuesday the 10th through an online form, with limited slots available. The program is organized by students from the SPIE, OPTICA, and IEEE Photonics Society student chapters at USP São Carlos, international bodies that advocate for women’s roles in science and technology. By participating in this event, Sampaio not only promotes her research but also contributes to the ongoing dialogue about gender equity in scientific disciplines.
