Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR)
The agreement with ANR, France, aims to welcome, encourage and support applications that may cut across national boundaries and involve international collaborative teams. The Parties also welcome interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary applications between researchers from France and the State of São Paulo, Brazil.
Plasmodium vivax causes 14.3 million infections annually, with 3.3 billion people at risk worldwide. No effective vaccine is available. P. vivax can only invade immature reticulocytes, expressing high levels of CD71, and <1.5% of circulating red blood cells (RBCs). CD71 is the receptor for PvRBP2b, a member of the P. vivax reticulocyte-binding protein (PvRBP) family. Another member, PvRBP…
Sex chromosomes (SC) evolution is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. H.J. Muller's century-old theory suggests that SC evolve by fixing a new sex-determining gene (SD) on an ancestral autosome. Over time, sex-specific alleles accumulate, leading to recombination loss and ultimately SC degeneration. While this unidirectional scenario aligns with SC evolution in well-studied …
At the intersection of economic geography, urban planning, and political ecology, this research aims to clarify the links between territorial development trajectories and the environmental crisis in a conjuncture of financialized capitalism. The economic specializations of territories determine diverse forms of production of space and the resulting environmental transitions. This is evide…

This project aims to study the brown algae Sargassum spp. which is landing in the Caribbean region and northeast of Brazil in order to better manage the biofouling by the algae and develop methods for valorization of the biomass. Sargassum are brown algae, originally found in the Sargasso Sea, located in the Gulf of Mexico. The flow of sargassum is becoming a serious environmental problem…
Since 2011 pelagic Sargassum strandings in the Caribbean basin have had significant environmental, health, economic and socio-political consequences and a substantial impact on tourism. Research so far tends to confirm the existence of a new ecosystem subjected to movements of water masses across the equatorial Atlantic. The phenomenon occurred in 2011 and the 2012-2018 period, along with…
Since 2010, massive and repeated invasions of sargassum seaweeds (s. fluitans and s.natans) have taken place on coasts of Caribbean countries. Stranding of these brown algae represents not only an environmental and economic disaster but also a real threat to human health due to the production of toxic gaseous and organic compounds that are not yet completely identified. Among them, howeve…

The student will systematically and rigorously study the foundations of differential geometry that underpin the mathematical formulation of general relativity. (AU)
The main objective of this project is to carry out an introductory study on commutative algebra and the concept of free divisors. Once the preliminary concepts of commutative algebra have been introduced, the focus will be on the study of plane algebraic curves in order to establish criteria for the freeness of such curves on the projective plane.

Although the literature on illegal markets is extensive, it is still marked by normative approaches that link illegalities to the lack of economic or urban development. Furthermore, there are few empirical studies on how these markets function in everyday life and impact socio-spatial dynamics. The core of the research involves the analysis of interactions between transnational markets, h…

Despite the growing expansion of literature on illegal markets, little research strays from normative approaches that link the existence and expansion of these markets to the lack of economic and urban development. Furthermore, there are still few empirical studies that focus on how these markets impact everyday life and socio-spatial dynamics. Therefore, in order to contribute to overcom…
