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.

- Structural and functional characterization of ABC transporters from ESKAPE microorganisms: tackling antimicrobial resistance, AP.SPEC
Abstract
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 …
- Epigenetic maturation of the oocyte and totipotence: the potential of the oocyte and its relationship with the ovarian follicular niche, AP.SPEC
Abstract
The epigenetic mechanisms governing the ability of the female gamete, i.e. the oocyte, to become totipotent are at the center of many unanswered questions in biology and a better understanding of such a basic phenomenon offers a unique opportunity to develop novel biotechnologies with wide-reaching benefits for humans and animals. This thematic project brings together renowned Canadian an…
- Innovations in human and non-human animal communities, AP.SPEC
Abstract
The proposed project, Innovations in human and non-human animal communities, aims to reconstruct the evolutionary history of three allegedly human-specific cognitive abilities, namely: linguistic competence, symbolic activities, and sophisticated tools. More specifically, this project seeks to understand the evolution of the cognitive underpinnings underlying each of these innovations, by…

- Biogeochemical blindspots along the lower Amazon River continuum: from land to the atmosphere and ocean, AP.SPEC
Abstract
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…
- Neural systems for risk assessment, a biomarker for anxiety, AP.SPEC
Abstract
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…
- Inhibitory deficit as a marker of neuroplasticity in rehabilitation, AP.SPEC
Abstract
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. In 2015, the Global Burden of Diseases showed worldwide epidemiological evidence that 74% of total years lived with disability are related to conditions for which rehabilitation could be beneficial. For this reason, the development o…
