The agreement with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) aims at implementing scientific and technological cooperation between researchers of The Netherlands and in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, through the financing of joint research projects.
GreenCare4Health addresses the critical lack of healthy green spaces in highly dense, socially disadvantaged urban areas. The project focuses on the vulnerability to extreme heat events and the resulting negative impacts on human health, particularly for groups whose great exposure to heat due to social and economic circumstances remains largely unexplored, namely children, young adults, …
Extreme heat events are closely associated with poor air quality, particularly elevated levels of fine particles (PM2.5) and ozone. These interconnected climate factors negatively impact human health, increasing morbidity and mortality. Kidneys, due to their role in maintaining homeostasis are particularly vulnerable to extreme temperatures. In fact extreme temperatures are associated wit…
Diabetic skin problems are a serious health condition with currently poor effective cure. In this project we will develop 1) regenerative scaffolds (advanced materials) with the ability to promote skin healing of diabetic wounds and 2) a three-layered in vitro human skin modeling hypodermis, dermis and epidermis, for usage as a non-clinical in vitro template to study diabetic skin. Molecu…

Restoration methods, policies, and supportive market and legal instruments have been developed to promote large-scale restoration in the Atlantic Forest region. To shift the scale of restoration from few thousands to millions of hectares a novel approach is needed. This project aims to explore the potential of restored forests for benefiting people and nature in the Atlantic Forest hotspo…
Across the world old-growth forests are rapidly diminishing due to anthropogenic forest conversion. Simultaneously, forest recovery in human-modified landscapes has led to an increase of secondary forests, which may have the potential to mitigate loss of biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services. Human impacts regulate both tree and animal abundances, but in a different way, s…
Plants and soils are in constant interaction, and net effects of all physical, chemical and biological processes that contribute to these interactions are resulting in a so-called 'plant-soil feedback' that is known to be critical for the restoration of original plant communities and ecosystem properties. The previous land use on sites where the Atlantic Forest is to be restored has alter…

Microneedles (MNs) form a safe and minimally invasive platform for topical and systemic use. These technologies can increase population access to point-of-care therapies by reducing costs and well-being, successful diagnosis and prognosis, increasing comfort, and reducing side effects. We plan to use solid MN systems without a surface hole or hollow shaft combined with monoclonal antibodi…
Zika fever is caused by a flavivirus named Zika virus (ZIKV), which belongs to the Flaviriridae family. This virus has been linked to a significant increase in the number of babies born with microcephaly due to maternal infection. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been widely used for treating viral infections; however there is currently no licensed mAb for ZIKV control. Previous studies …
The development of novel prophylactic therapies is one of the main strategies to limit complications associated to the ZIKV infection, as well as are of particular interest between the infection and fetal abnormalities during the early stages of development. Herein, we propose the design and development of thermosensitive liposomes considering their lipid composition and physico-chemical …

The main scientific and innovation challenge of this project is the development of totally absorbable intracoronary nitric oxide (NO)-releasing stents, composed polyesters, and polymeric blends involving poly(lactic acid) and poly(caprolactone). The materials to be developed will associate the property of complete bioabsorption of the stent, with localized release of NO, which, in turn, m…
