Innovative Research in Small Business (PIPE) Phase 1
FAPESP Innovative Research in Small Business (PIPE) aims to support scientific and technological research, carried out in startups and small innovative companies in the State of São Paulo. The projects are carried out under the responsibility of investigators who have an employment contract with those companies or are associated with them for research development. The selection is through a peer-reviewing system. Phase 1 is used to verify the technical and scientific feasibility of the proposal, lasting up to 9 months.

- Computer vision applied to fish farming for biometrics, biomass estimation and detection of vision-related pathologies., AP.PIPE
Abstract
The project "Computer vision applied to aquaculture for biometry, biomass estimation, and disease detection" aims to develop an integrated hardware and software system tailored for aquaculture production environments, including excavated ponds and net tanks. The main objective is to provide an innovative solution that combines artificial intelligence and image processing to estimate fish …
- Sustainable integration of intensive aquaculture (RAS) and agriculture: IoT monitoring, nutrient flow modeling and residue use in pasture fertigation, AP.PIPE
Abstract
This project aims to develop an innovative solution for integrating intensive aquaculture and fertigation of forage crops, utilizing recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and advanced technologies such as IoT sensors and computational modeling. The proposal seeks to optimize the use of effluents generated in aquaculture by transforming them into efficient liquid fertilizers for agricult…
- Black soldier fly oil - BSF (Hermetia illucens) in the control of diseases and plant pathogens, AP.PIPE
Abstract
With the growing need for sustainable alternatives to combat plant diseases, especially due to the negative environmental impact of conventional pesticides, with their intensive use being criticized globally, BSF oil offers a promising solution. BSF oil is notable for its high content of medium-chain fatty acids, especially lauric acid, which may represent around 45% of its total composit…

- SmartBIn: New technology for mass rearing the parasitoid Jaliscoa grandis to control the boll weevil, AP.PIPE
Abstract
In the context of Brazilian agriculture, cotton crops are among those most prominent, both in terms of area and production and technology. On the other hand, a negative highlight of cotton crops is the high consumption of synthetic pesticides, mainly to control the crop's main pest, the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, 1843 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Due to demands from the cons…
- Establishment of a high-throughput CRISPR screenig platform for functional genomics studies and generation of new immunotherapies against colorectal tumors, AP.PIPE
Abstract
The global market for cell and gene therapy is on the rise, driven by advances in CAR-T and RNA vaccines. Brazil leads this market regionally, but technological studies are still limited, affecting the population's access to these innovative therapies. While CAR-T cells are effective in treating liquid tumors, their efficacy against solid tumors is restricted, prompting interest in other …
- Production of recombinant elicitor proteins for application in agriculture - a paradigm shift for agricultural biotechnology., AP.PIPE
Abstract
Modern agriculture faces complex challenges, including the need to increase productivity while minimizing the environmental impacts of these activities. In Brazil, one of the global leaders in agricultural production, these challenges are particularly significant given the central role of the sector for the economy and food security. Among the main difficulties is the sustainable manageme…
