University of Cambridge

Research Supported by FAPESP assembles referential information of scholarships and research grants from various research modalities, awarded by FAPESP.

Concerning projects carried out in research institutions abroad, FAPESP encourages granted researchers to develop collaborative research with renowned partner organizations from other countries, such as the institution abroad .

The display board "FAPESP Support in Numbers" presents the number of ongoing or concluded scholarships and research grants, awarded by the Foundation, in cooperation with the institution abroad University of Cambridge. In the center of the page, you will see some information on those awarded scholarships and research grants.

Use the "Refine results" list of options to filter information on awarded research in cooperation with the research institution abroad University of Cambridge and to get results that are more specific for your search, according to the following parameters: type of Research Grants, modalities of Scholarships, Field of Knowledge and Start Date.

The Maps and Graphs show the geographical distribution of FAPESP sponsorship in the State of São Paulo and the historical sequence of funded research, by year, of the ongoing projects from the cooperation with the research institution abroad University of Cambridge.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the main source of energy within cells. They are made from over ~1100 proteins which are coded by two different genomes: nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). MtDNA is only inherited from our mother, and codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins that are essential for cell energy production. In humans, mtDNA varies considerably between different people (called mtDNA single…
Bilateral BBSRC-FAPESP: molecular mechanisms shaping the germ-line transmission of mtDNA variants, AP.TEM
Abstract
Biological circadian clock is a fundamental device which synchronize the rhythmic physiological functions and developmental decisions with the environmental day-night cycle and temperature fluctuations. Optimization of Plant biology rhythms is important for productivity and requires that the circadian clock is correctly synchronized with daily environmental changes. This process, which is…

Abstract
Humoral and cellular responses against COVID-19 are key to suppressing viral replication, preventing severe disease symptoms and possible reinfections. Understanding how lymphocytes respond to viral infection and vaccination can give support to possible strategies to combat the disease. The cellular environment is complex and dynamic, in addition to being organized by subcellular compartm…

Abstract
Climate change impacts weather patterns and meteorological long-term data and subsequently erosion rates in deserts. Desertification is a global concern and mobile hyper-arid desert dunes threaten settlements and infrastructure of as many as one billion people worldwide. To effectively mitigate the hazard for downwind communities and infrastructure, we need to understand the dynamics of t…
Migrating dunes over hilly terrains, AP.R
Abstract
Invasive crop pests are a major challenge of our times, and lead to huge economic costs to agriculture. One less well recognised aspect of such invasions is that invasive species often hybridise with related native species. This can have various potential outcomes: One possibility is that hybridisation leads to a collapse of the species barrier and a single mixed population. Alternatively…

Abstract
Currently, the use of lignocellulosic biomass for production of liquid biofuels is seen as a strategy with great potential for reducing dependence on carbon-based fuels. However, the biomass cell wall is composed of a complex network of polymers that hinder enzymatic access to fermentable sugars, inhibiting cellulose digestion and becoming a major obstacle to ethanol production. To overco…

Abstract
This project advances the expected contributions from a research internship at the University of Cambridge connected to the PhD research I am conducting in Brazil (FAPESP 21/05701-3). Such research aims to study the production, distribution, and reception of crime films in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, from the perspective of the world-systems analysis, which divides global production in…

Abstract
Intercellular communication, facilitated by the conventional secretory pathway, has played apivotal role in the evolution of life's diversity and complexity. This pathway, involving the secretion of proteins containing signal peptides, has long been understood, although recentdiscoveries have challenged the idea of a single secretory route. Unconventional protein secretion(UPS) has emerge…

Abstract
Two of the great economic and political events of the early 21st century, the 2008 financial crisis and the rise of the far-right around the globe, seemed to signal the end of the "neoliberal era". At that time, many analysts and politicians decreed the "death of neoliberalism" and the beginning of a new era. However, after a few years of these events, scholars today claim that those pred…

Abstract
During my PhD research, by analysing the debate that Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) proposes to Edmund Burke (1729-1797) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) I better understood the originality of her thoughts, especially her concept of freedom. As the research progressed, I realised Wollstonecraft shared an affinity with Catharine Macaulay (1731-1791). In a letter to Macaulay, on the o…

Abstract
The life cycle of human papillomaviruses is deeply correlated with the differentiation process of the squamous epithelium, with the transcriptional activity and production of the oncoproteins E6 and E7 being regulated by cellular transcription factors. Our current data shows that the transcription factor GATA3 is a negative regulator of HPV transcription and may have a role in the tumorig…
