Leveraging its relationship with researchers from both the Departments of Psychiatry of the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) and Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the ABCD Charitable Trust has fostered collaboration between the two institutions. With this, it allowed the teams of researchers Jair Mari, Rodrigo Bressan and Ary Gadelha (Unifesp) to work with the Genetic Neurobiology Lab, JHU. Among the actions developed: presentations by researcher Russell L. Margolis (JHU) at the Schizophrenia Program Symposium 2017 of the Schizophrenia Program (PROESQ) and in the grand rounds of the Department of Psychiatry of Unifesp, in 2019; Bressan and Gadelha’s visit to JHU in 2019; one-month experience by residents Felipe Arcadepani and Bianca Camerini (Unifesp) at JHU; bressan and Gadelha presentation at the Psychiatric Research Seminar in 2021 at JHU; and presentation of the researcher Frederick Nucifora Jr. (JHU) at the webinar “Subtyping schizophrenia as an approach to precision medicine in psychiatry”, in 2021, and at the PROESQ Symposium in 2022.
