FAPESP São Paulo Excellence Chair (SPEC), in experimental stage, aims at providing the coming of top notch scientists from abroad to create research nuclei in São Paulo universities. The projects are developed under the responsibility of a Principal Investigator, associated with higher education or research institutions in the State of São Paulo. The selection is through a peer-reviewing system.
The Brazilian population is aging rapidly, which poses huge challenges for health care and social well-being. A core research team at USP consisting of experts in geriatrics, gerontology, geographic mapping, information technology (IT), and urban planning propose to create a multi-use, interactive map of aging as a tool for policymakers, governmental officials, city planners, health and s…
The integrity of skeletal muscle mass and function is fundamental for the maintenance of quality of life. Adult skeletal muscles have a remarkable capacity of regeneration after injury mainly due to the presence of muscle stem cells, called satellite cells. In addition, the fibro-adipogenic progenitor cells (FAPs) assist satellite cells during the muscle regenerative process. However, dur…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem threatening public health worldwide. Failure to control microbial infections is already resulting increased deaths and last-resort antibiotics for the treatment of resistant microorganisms are gradually losing efficacy as well, as demonstrated by increase in multi-drug resistant (MDR) species. Among bacterial pathogens, the ESKAPE group …

The research objective is to examine, at different scales, the processes that govern the advection and reaction of carbon in the lowest reach of the Amazon River and along the near-shore coastline of the Western Tropical Atlantic Ocean. The mainstem of the river is a large supplier of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, most of which is sourced as organic carbon from the surrounding l…
Anxiety, and the depressive disorders with which anxiety is frequently comorbid, constitute an enormous illness burden in the US and elsewhere. Approvals of new drug treatments for these disorders have slowed in recent years, largely because preclinical studies have not predicted efficacy well in clinical trials. Detailed analyses of response to threat in laboratory rodents suggest a part…
According to the WHO, more than one billion people in the world experience disability, which is not only an issue of public health, but also of human rights.

For this reason, the development o…
