Innovative Research in Small Business (PIPE) Phase 1
FAPESP Innovative Research in Small Business (PIPE) aims to support scientific and technological research, carried out in startups and small innovative companies in the State of São Paulo. The projects are carried out under the responsibility of investigators who have an employment contract with those companies or are associated with them for research development. The selection is through a peer-reviewing system. Phase 1 is used to verify the technical and scientific feasibility of the proposal, lasting up to 9 months.

- "Gold and mercury recovery from small-scale mining tailings using microwave methodology., AP.PIPE
Abstract
The proposed project is aimed at the mineral industry segment, specifically at the development of responsible small-scale gold mining, with the objective of developing a laboratory-scale prototype of a gold recovery process using microwave technology.Gold is a widely traded and consumed asset around the world, with a broad range of stakeholders, including the financial market, jewelry ind…
- Vanillas from Brazilian biodiversity - prototyping: development of natural raw materials and/or fragrant agents from extracts and volatiles, with the aid of sensory intelligence, AP.PIPE
Abstract
Natural vanilla (NV), currently one of the most expensive spices in the world, has reached prices higher than silver due to increased demand and decreased global supply. Most of the NV in the market comes from Vanilla planifolia, native to Mexico and cultivated outside its place of origin, mainly in Madagascar. Challenges such as climate change, lack of natural pollinators, genetic erosio…
- Reforested wood revitalized through the Lock up process with high commercial potential., AP.PIPE
Abstract
The project presents an innovative technology to engineer reforestation wood (ecologically sustainable), through a production process called lock up aided by a mini autoclave system, in the quest to solve the challenging issues of the modern consumer (Durability, Resilience and Sustainability). The wood treated by this process has the potential to serve several market segments, providing …

- Establishment of a high-throughput CRISPR screenig platform for functional genomics studies and generation of new immunotherapies against colorectal tumors, AP.PIPE
Abstract
The global market for cell and gene therapy is on the rise, driven by advances in CAR-T and RNA vaccines. Brazil leads this market regionally, but technological studies are still limited, affecting the population's access to these innovative therapies. While CAR-T cells are effective in treating liquid tumors, their efficacy against solid tumors is restricted, prompting interest in other …
- DEVELOPMENT OF A CONTINUOUS FLOW PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A HIGH POTENCY ESTROGEN., AP.PIPE
Abstract
Among the steroid hormones, estrone derivatives stand out. They are widely used in formulations of contraceptive drugs and hormone regulators, in addition to their use in livestock farming for stimulating heat and synchronizing the fertile period of animals. The most relevant bioactive estrogen derived from estrone is Estradiol. It is currently categorized as a high-potency, high-value-ad…
- Production of recombinant elicitor proteins for application in agriculture - a paradigm shift for agricultural biotechnology., AP.PIPE
Abstract
Modern agriculture faces complex challenges, including the need to increase productivity while minimizing the environmental impacts of these activities. In Brazil, one of the global leaders in agricultural production, these challenges are particularly significant given the central role of the sector for the economy and food security. Among the main difficulties is the sustainable manageme…
