Abstract
Our long-term vision is to develop a holistic solution to the development and implementation of new biodegradable renewable materials (substituting plastic-based packaging) through the revaluation of waste. Within the short timeframe of this project, we propose to develop a bacterial composite cellulose / metal-organic framework (MOF) biofilm with the ability to preserve perishable agricu…

Abstract
We will engage in a new collaborative endeavor between key chemical pollution experts in the UK and Brazil to tackle public health problems linked with urbanization and deteriorating environment via water fingerprinting. This will be achieved via large-scale environment fingerprinting program in Campinas. We will focus on public exposure and environmental impacts from consumer, lifestyle …

Abstract
The FAPESP project, Advanced eco-efficient technologies in cement based products (AECem) (2014/50948-3), focuses on the opportunities for increased efficiency in cement based products. With a wide-range area of research, the project is focused in reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, use of energy, consumption of water and the need for natural resources of cement based products throu…

Abstract
This proposal sets out a research plan to investigate two classes of complex fluids. The first are viscoelastic liquids, composed of long chained molecules that impart a memory aspect to the fluid. The second are nematic liquid crystals that are composed of rod like molecules that give the liquid a directional preference (anisotropy). Both classes share properties of both liquids and soli…

Abstract
Dengue fever is an incurable mosquito-borne tropical disease initiated by the Dengue virus. This virus is spread by mosquitos mostly in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Symptoms can evolve from fever and muscle/joint pains to life-threatening Dengue hemorrhagic fever characterized by increased vascular permeability, hemorrhage and shock. According to the World Health Organizat…

Abstract
A previous A. nidulans genome-wide transcriptomic study showed that three fungal GPCRs, namely gprH, gprI and gprM, were induced during carbon starvation. Consequently, we hypothesize that these three receptors represent a nutrient sensing mechanism that is activated during carbon starvation. (AU)
