Center for Research and Development of Functional Materials
Research conducted by a FAPESP-supported center paves the way for producing chemical inputs widely used in industry, such as in medicines and cosmetics, where they act as active ingredients or stabilizers.
Center for Favela Studies (CEFAVELA)
Brazil Data Cube-Favelas, a partnership between the National Institute for Space Research and CEFAVELA, a FAPESP RIDC, will provide access to large volumes of data. An article on the technology won an award at the Applied Computing Workshop.
Human Genome and Stem-Cell Research Center
Project conducted at the University of São Paulo with support from FAPESP aims to ensure that the country has its own technology and does not depend on imports to perform xenotransplants in the public healthcare system.
Center for Research on Toxins, Immune-Response and Cell Signaling
Publication from the Center for Toxins, Immune Response, and Cell Signaling serves as a guide for all tests that can be performed on the tropical freshwater fish, also known as zebra danios, in scientific research.
Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture
The Carbon Countdown initiative, with an investment of BRL 100 million through a partnership between the Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture, Shell, and Petrobras, will traverse all Brazilian biomes to collect soil and vegetation samples.
Center for Research and Development of Functional Materials
A subsidiary of the Federal University of São Carlos and spin-off of a FAPESP-supported center uses new materials in the synthesis of chemotherapy drugs for multiple myeloma, which could generate savings of 30% to 50% in time and investment.
Brazilian Research Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology
It is estimated that up to 400 million people worldwide and nearly 14 million in Brazil have the chronic condition. A review by an international panel of 14 experts, including Brazilians, highlights the need to standardize diagnosis and treatment.
Center for Research on Biodiversity Dynamics and Climate Change
Scientists observed that bacterial communities in colonies change depending on the food leafcutter ants offer to their symbiotic fungus. This research may aid in the search for new molecules for biofuels and bioremediation.
Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture
Tool can support managers in setting conservation priorities for these ecosystems, called “blue carbon forests.” Brazil has the second largest mangrove area on the planet, behind only Indonesia.
Center for Research and Development of Functional Materials
Study involving researchers from a FAPESP-supported center presents a new molecular architecture based on zirconium metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) designed for efficiently degrading emerging water contaminants.
Center for Research on Biodiversity Dynamics and Climate Change
A review article traces the evolution of green nanopesticides research and provides informational systematization in order to help decision-makers classifying new formulations.
Center for Research and Innovation in Biodiversity and Drug Discovery
Tests on cell cultures and rodents have shown that the new molecule acts on all three stages of the disease cycle, eliminating the parasite from human blood and liver and preventing transmission to mosquitoes.
Center for Research and Development of Functional Materials
The chemical compound is used in various industrial processes, but its synthesis is highly polluting. Research involving scientists from the Center for Development of Functional Materials and the Center for Innovation on New Energies, supported by FAPESP, indicates clean ways of obtaining the input.
