The purpose of the Young Investigator Grant (JP) is to support a scientifically sound and high-quality research project. It also aims to encourage the attraction, under internationally competitive conditions, of young researchers with demonstrated international postdoctoral research experience who are still in the process of establishing their professional careers, to research institutions in the State of São Paulo.
We are facing a great food transition with more plant-based foods in our future diet, and Brazil is the biggest producer of an important protein source, the soybean. Obtaining analytical tools to investigate quality attributes such as sensory and nutrition of plant-based meat alternatives (PBMA) will be decisive for the food industry in driving consumers' acceptance of this transition. Th…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent degenerative neurological disease in the world, characterized by extracellular accumulation of beta-amyloid (A²) peptide and intracellular formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Emerging evidence suggests that infectious agents can initiate pathological cascades of AD, and cerebral and peripheral infections are events that may be risk factors …
Species interactions are central mechanisms in the structure, dynamics, and functioning of ecosystems. Currently, concepts and methods from network science are widely applied in the study of bipartite networks describing a specific mode of ecological interaction (e.g., plant-herbivore). This project proposes innovations in the study of species interactions with interdisciplinary applicati…
This project establishes a new research agenda in global political theory in Brazil, addressing the normative challenges of international migration. It asks: What normative demands emerge within national border regimes-political spaces shaped by the unequal distribution of vulnerabilities and the enduring legacies of colonialism-when confronted with the movement of undesirable migrants? S…

Understanding how light induces chemical transformations at the molecular level is key to developing photochemical reactions that underlie the design of novel compounds and materials. In this Young Investigator project, we propose to investigate molecular reactivity concepts that enable the structural, magnetic, and mechanistic understanding of light-driven processes. Aim 1 explores the c…
The main objective of this project is to investigate the formation and evolution of accreting white dwarfs using numerical simulations. The study of accreting white dwarfs bears relevance for several fields of research due to their wide variety of phenomena, over virtually all wavelengths and on a broad range of timescales, which makes them natural laboratories to investigate, for instanc…
Nitrate contamination is almost ubiquitous in urban unconfined aquifers, becoming a challenge for the São Paulo State where more than 80% of its municipalities are supplied totally or partially by groundwater. Despite the several existing studies, there are critical scientific challenges that overcoming will contribute to the environmental management of extensive contaminated urban areas.…
