The agreement with the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, aims at scientific cooperation in all areas of knowledge, in order to develop joint research projects which may include the exchange of researchers and postgraduate students.
Obesity affects over 600 million people worldwide and, despite recent therapeutic advance in the field, projections estimate a continuous increase of its prevalence over the next decade. In this context, the identification of new targets could improve therapeutic strategies and contribute to revert the current epidemiological scenario. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the targets f…
The increasing challenges posed by climate change and the need for adaptable transport systems require understanding the impact of climate-related events on public transport and proposing suitable solutions to enhance urban resilience. Therefore, this research project aims to develop a planning tool that enhances the resilience of public transport systems in small and medium-sized cities …
The Amazon has the largest rainforest in the world, which plays a key role in the water and carbon cycles. It also has an extensive biodiversity in terms of plants, animals, and microorganisms and contains about 15% of all fresh water on the planet. On the other hand, the Brazilian population in the Amazon increased from 8.2 million in 1972 to 28.1 million inhabitants in 2020, and consequ…
The problem addressed in this project is the mode choice estimation of intercity trips in Brazil if railway passenger services were to compete with existing transport choices. This study carries particular relevance in that it provides evidence of the potential demand under scenarios where different train services run between cities over a specific region of the country using different se…
We propose an alternative route to the conventional production of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) type detectors used in nuclear and particle physics for radiation detection. Currently such detectors, as used at CERN for example, are produced by lithography and chemical etching. Such a method limits geometric variations of the devices and is relatively slow in the production of modified des…

Bactérias gram-negativas possuem uma dupla membrana celular que lhes proporciona uma camada extra de proteção e dificulta a entrega de agentes terapêuticos como, por exemplo, substratos para fermentação. Consequentemente, o entendimento do envelope celular a nível molecular torna-se essencial para a possibilidade em explorar as fraquezas desses organismos em aplicações médicas e no aument…
