Transformando um pirulito de caramelo em inovação | Caio Guimarães | TEDxJoaoPessoa


The nice little man in the picture was a

Scottish biologist named alexander

fleming

one fine day he went on vacation when

he returned

he realized that he had forgotten to

to throw away the cultures of bacteria

He was working in the laboratory.

finally spoiled all the cultures were

moldy while he discarded those

petri dish cultures

he was talking to a colleague of his

laboratory

he noted that in some of these

in some of these

bacteria where the mold was growing

fungus had an aura and did not grow

bacteria and found it very curious and

He decided to study what he discovered.

that this fund where it did not grow

surrounding bacteria was a rare strain of

notato penicillin and by-products

of this fungus is penicillin or the

fungus it can kill bacteria and

continues to study that developed a

A method for separating penicillin from

Fungus ileum penis and began to

study the properties of that

substance found that penicillin

killed only the bacterial cells she

killed the cells of our body and was

thus the first antibiotic of the

world nonsense penicillin right

bullshit because it’s just that penicillin

yielded the discovery of penicillin yielded

the Nobel Prize in Medicine for Fleming and

deservedly because penicillin saved

millions of people during the second

war has been saving millions of people

until now and only the discovery of penicillin

was responsible for the 10-year increase

in the average human life expectancy or

whether the human being came to live ten

years more only because of the discovery

of penicillin because until then the

people died of sore throat

inflammation in the throat of diarrhea but

in the world die of expensive diarrhea that

Crazy

what alexander fleming did was to renew

innovated medicine forever what it is

innovation is a word that is a

a little fashionable mainly for

Who works with the startup who

works with technology

I see that people have the notion

a little wrong of what is innovation

because people tend to think of

innovation has to be an idea that

it is made from scratch or

Innovation has to be an idea

super complex with the theory of

einstein’s relativity thus

and not like Flemish for example

he noticed a mold that he was

researching what discovered the

penicillin innovative process many

Sometimes it happens without us not even realizing it.

it is simply if we look

by the etymology of the word to innovation

Nothing is more than what you look at.

within something that already exists

concept that already exists only that is seen

as unimportant and you look with

create an idea and start

hence put your idea into action

I wanted to share with you the

My personal story involves

innovation I had the honor of working

as a researcher in the laboratory who is

The dream of consuming every nerd is the

nerd’s paradise herculândia the fusion

Harvard Medical School with the

Haiti

the intention of this laboratory to develop

new technologies for the medical field and

lau studied the medical properties of

specific wave compliances

electromagnetic a visible spectrum

in good portuguese

I worked with the properties of

light cure light

we got incredible effects

face as for example and radical

bacterial infection of a bacterium

multiresistant calls

superbugs without antibiotic use

using only light for this dex

you will have the honor of seeing

first hand a computerized schema

last generation I prepared

to exemplify and show clearly

the results we got a

laboratory

in just 62 minutes we managed to

eradicate the infection that

most potent antibiotics do not

have managed to eradicate but have

problem alone, she did not

penetrates deep into the tissue

so we can handle it

superficial infections but yes because

do not go a little deeper

to would not be able to reach up

that region needed treatment

then I had a super idea

brilliant and I thought why not

build a set of micro needles

optics where on top of each micro

needle we put the micromet that goes

focus the experiment on the needle

needle will guide light into the

fabric and so we can achieve

a much larger area

I did a computerized scheme too

I could not see that I love doing this.

business and it was to show that staff

laboratory thinking it was

razing my idea

I came to him only I had this idea

we make this set of micro

needles and the idea is kind of like

had a lot of star light saber

fabric wars and they will deliver the

fabric spray and such

and they with all the world’s touch to name

were discouraged were the legal idea

It’s actually so cool that we

You even thought about it.

The problem is that the material that goes

use the method of production that

you will use to make these

needles

This is all a problem so we

had discarded this idea of that

baby, it’s okay to go home.

That’s when I came to the problem.

after all they had said that the

cool idea he had ever thought about

that

so I started researching materials and

to discover the polylactic acid is a

polymer is a thermoplastic it is

biodegradable and biocompatible

Transparent looks like a glass when

is at room temperature so it

can guide the light well to acquire this

I started to play with him in the

Lab first thing I did

was to retain him to find the point of

fusion about 137 degrees Celsius and

I saw that he looked like a toffee when

was

but it’s okay, because when you have it

head of gordon and eaten everything then

It’s nice to look like you

caramel so my first idea

was obvious to build molds a

3d laser printer because I have

access to all those machinery

wonderful from harvard night and i will

melt the material placed inside the

template and grandpa have my micro

needles but the material was very viscous

kind of like a melted caramel and he

does not flow into the mold

I thought I can take the air out of

inside these molds going to the camera

wako then I’ll try to repeat this in

a vacuum camera

nothing done material is still very

and even without any air inside the

molds

I could not do with the material

into the holes of the

mold

so I put a negative pressure

inside the mold a positive pressure

out of the mold to push that

stuff right there inside

nothing done but after all this

obvious choice not to make a mold

keep the business put in there

I thought you’re in Harvard .

developing scientific research with

a lot of the galaxy’s top people who

Do not you think of anything else?

more complex scientific nerd

so I thought I can use decorum

methane which is a clear solvent and

when I develop acid

polymorph of chloromethane to

and this liquid will enter more

easy inside the micro holes of the

mold

so I decided the material stated

methane actually became a liquid

transparent I had put it in the mold and

I succeeded in filling the holes.

an idea when I declare methane

evaporate if I had it there is only the

polylactic acid to form us in the

that I wanted

The result was that I do not think

I need to say no more, huh or the melech.

and I lost the optical properties

because the deal went white

completely opaque and needles were

they would not

never penetrate the tissue and

a desperation because up until now

had spent a few weeks in the

Truth some months I had nothing

to show it did not have any results

to show the crowd only a series of

failures

I will continue to play with material and

testing various properties of it and is

if this is the idea of ​​the lollipop

caramel for the business looked like a

caramel did not leave my head and

I thought only I have

Fat spirit but I remembered that

there in reef have the sellers of

Caramel lollipops that they

they sell a tube lollipop that he

face she pulls pulls they melt

and when they pull comes cucumber fitch

control so they come from

lollipop one meter and a half

crazy thing, I thought damn those

guys make giant lollipops that

looks like a super needle that can not

use this method to make a micro

needle

after all he pulls her pulls me

I can spoiler I can I can melt

this material on a plate and I

it to 37 degrees celsius put the

stuff we had melted I would

think with surgical tweezers and

That ‘s what I did and it really came here.

fiap with thicker base as

who was pulling him claiming to be both

able to make a micro needles

I just let the material was

detained collapsed no problem have

a bowl of cold water I put my

grandfather repeat the process I put under

of the cold water when I took it there

was the first prototype of

optical microstrip made in the world

based on caramel lollipop

I showed the lab staff and

stationed is a guy who

cool, you could not do it

that

renato the city ​​probably does not have

caramel spirit seller

so I do not blame you for not knowing

right to develop this process is

complex but one day of non -accounting

it took time to perfect the method

and develop a set of micro

optical needles

only in the first prototypes people

was able to increase by 300 per cent

delivery of light into the fabric and this

generated a new optical face that

that we would see that research on

a new look because until then it was only

a study of light but nothing much

complicated and from the moment I

I showed that we could deliver

this light

I said guys this can really

become a health treatment and has changed

completely the vision that everyone

had on the research the people

developed new things above

on top of that work

This earned me the prize. I won one.

It’s crazy, I’m back in Brazil.

brought the research with me in partnership with

the laboratory

But today we work with the

thing a little different from

simply bacterial infection

people work with one condition

called the diabetic foot that the major cause

of amputations in the world today

we continue to develop methods

of delivery this light

we continue to develop

equipment capable of delivering this

light and because of all this work I

I was on the forbes list what is it?

a crown with a very crazy deal

né because the forbes list usually

they list the billionaires so I

I’m straight and I’m on the forbes list.

But opted then I’m going to stay

asking a lot because but I’m in

list of forbes as one of the

most promising young personalities

of Brazil

and they called me an inventor was not

entrepreneur was not a scientist

I was not a researcher, it was not

student and inventor who is an inventor

but an innovator

It’s not true that I honestly do not

I think I invented nothing, I used the

my experiences to build a

new thing different thing but i used it

things that were already there that already

existed that anyone could have done

also

this story of an inventor of

invent to create

I think the human being is not very

good at actually creating things from scratch

human being is very good at reef

to unify the things that already exist

if I ask for example to you to think

now in a short time you never saw her

Your life will not normally be able to

think about this color

I asked you to think of a sound with which

You never heard in your life, did not you?

You can think of that sound but I

I asked you think of a blue egg

Even though you’ve never seen the

chicken hatching a blue egg you

Can you conceive of this idea?

Can you think about this?

in a new yellow egg pink I do not know anymore

with elements that already exist that

were there and that we already know

beethoven when he composed the ninth symphony

in the same 12 musical notes as all

musicians have always had access to it

invented new musical note but he used

his experiences

he used his soul to resignify

something that already existed

He looks at you from him to that and he

innovated the music he changed the music

forever

Picasso used perhaps the same brush and

the oil paint from your store’s

another artist could have bought too

that we have already used in art classes

of the people of the school also picasso

gave him a look

his life experiences look at him

of the world and put him in the

look at the arts

he revolutionized the plastic arts to

ever

innovation is not a business that

It happens all alone so I woke up innovative

today it ‘s an innovation it depends on

other things to happen

innovation depends on the observation

because you need to have experiences

life right you need to have experience

things to be able to innovate

you need to look at these two

experiences with creativity is because

You need to take a fresh look at those

experiences you already have so that

hence a new idea but the

important of all you have to put

this your idea in practice because a

idea alone it is worthless but one

idea that bets on this practice changes the

world

thank you in the evening
