The development of composites based on two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has allowed remarkable technological achievements that were previously unknown. These nanomaterials have enormous potential for various applications due to their exceptional physical properties when compared to conventional materials. This research project aims to explore these expected properties for graphene and i…
We propose herein to investigate the role of adipocyte Rictor/mTORC2 as mediator of the beneficial and protective effects of polyunsaturated omega 3 fatty acids (n-3 fatty acids) against obesity and associated metabolic diseases. More specifically, we will investigate whether adipocyte Rictor/mTORC2 deficiency (adipocyte Rictor deletion) affects the pro-energy expenditure, insulin sensiti…
Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) therapy is a new approach that utilizes bioengineering to modify immune cells so they are able to specifically target and kill pathogens or altered host immune cells (such as cancers). This approach involves generating modified cell surface molecules (chimeric receptors) and expressing these receptors in host immune cells. As these chimeric receptors recogn…
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a low-cost DNA amplification technique that is useful for low- and middle-income countries for the screening of infectious diseases. Current methods to detect the amplification assay are based on the analysis of samples using benchtop analysis tools for fluorogenic marker intensity and requires an expert to operate the device and analyze th…
Our long-term goal is to make significant contributions to the advancement of methodologies used to produce clean energy and achieve carbon neutrality in the Oil&Gas industry. The specific objective of this SPRINT proposal is to seed new research projects to explore new technologies and infrastructure in deep-water offshore environments currently in place in Brazil and the US to achieve t…
We propose herein to investigate the role of peroxisomes as mediators of the beneficial and protective effects of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega 3 FA) against obesity and associated metabolic diseases. More specifically, we will investigate whether hepatocyte and adipocyte peroxisome deficiency (Pex5 deletion) affects the pro-energy expenditure, insulin sensitizing and …

The decade 2021-2030 was decreed as being responsible for environmental restoration and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) increasingly appear in the scientific literature as an alternative to face the challenges related to climate change, habitat loss and urbanization. This project aims to monitor the efficiency of SBN application in two scientific innovation hubs (HIDS - International Hub for…
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies can be enhanced by using suitable Ionic Liquids (ILs). However, the complexity of IL-CO2 interactions makes it challenging to develop IL-based CCU processes, especially at high pressures. In addition, at high-pressures (>73.8 bar) and moderate temperatures (>31°C), the CO2 became a supercritical fluid, presenting other unique properties. T…
Telescópio Gigante Magalhães (GMT) será o primeiro membro da nova classe de telescópios terrestres supergigantes (ELT) a ser construído no observatório de Las Campanas no Chile. Entre os instrumentos de primeira luz estão o GMT Multi-object Astronomical and Cosmological Spectrograph (GMACS), um espectrógrafo óptico multi-objeto de campo largo com resolução de baixa a moderada, e o GMT-Con…

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests that the oral bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum, commonly associated with periodontitis, may play a role in CRC development and progression. Elevated levels of F. nucleatum in tumor tissues have been associated with poorer clinical outcomes, reduced treatm…
This project aims to develop and investigate delafossite-type transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) (MCoO2, where M = Cu or Ag), with emphasis on their controlled synthesis and structural, optical, and electronic characterization. The materials will be synthesized via coprecipitation followed by mild thermal treatment, aiming to obtain p-type semiconductors that combine optical transparenc…
Chronic pain has a high global prevalence, affecting about 20% of the adult population, with a higher incidence in women. Oxytocin has been increasingly studied as a neuromodulator capable of influencing both pain sensitivity and the emotional aspects associated with pain. However, the mechanisms by which this hormone modulates neuronal excitability in humans, and how these mechanisms dif…
Chronic pain is a significant global health problem, affecting approximately 20% of the world population, being more prevalent in women. Despite this sexual dimorphism, preclinical research has historically relied on male subjects, highlighting a critical need to investigate sex differences for the development of effective therapies. From a neurobiological perspective, oxytocin is a key n…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the prefrontal cortex is a promising alternative treatment for depression and cognitive decline, yet most patients do not remit. Therefore, identifying neurophysiological markers that predict, monitor, and enhance treatment efficacy is critical. Electroencephalography (EEG) and combined TMS-EEG methods offer non-invasive measures of…

Recent research collaboration has been focusing on the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 on in vitro ruminal digestion of beef cattle diets. The preliminary assessment has indicated a ruminal content × yeast interaction, in which the in vitro true digestibility of substrate DM, OM, NDF, and hemicellulose increased when yeast was added to the incubator containing samples with…
This proposal is part of the doctoral research project titled "Two-Dimensional TMDs thermoelectric transport within ab initio approach" which aims to study thermoelectric transport properties in materials based on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), focusing on Janus materials, through first-principles computational techniques, with emphasis on the use of codes such as Electron-Phonon …
Weight gain is the most important economic variable in beef farms, serving as a key indicator that the production system is being managed correctly and will be profitable for the producer. Beef cattle farming in Brazil is one of the most prominent agricultural activities and plays a crucial role in the national economy. Zebu breeds (Bos indicus), originating from India, possess the necess…
