Abstract

Since last year I have a scientific cooperation with researchers from Centre de Recherché Paul Pascal concerning structural and elastic properties of lipid membranes and formation of supramolecular structures of lipids and DNA. Under-graduate and graduate students have participate of a common program of research developed by both teams. A convention between USP and Bordeaux University has been signed allowing double title for doctor degree. At this moment there is a french in this programe staying for the second time in USP, for a period of two months, from april to june. We have also many results obtained by brazilian students who participated of the common research theme. During the staying in the french lab the objective is evaluate the development of the doctorate project of the common student and proceed with the redaction and of two articles combining results obtained by the teams.
