Mayana Zatz is Professor of Human and Medical Genetics. Director of the Human Genome Research Center (Hug-cell) and Nacional Program (INCT): aging and genetics: genomics and metagenomics, at the University of São Paulo ( USP). Graduaded in Biology, USP (1968), Ph.D. in Human and Medical Genetics at USP (1974), and post-doc in medical genetics (1975-1977) at University of California, USA. She is Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and Academy of Sciences for the developing world (TWAS). Was founder and president of the Brazilian Muscular Dystrophy Association (ABDIM) from 1981-2013. Her research in human and medical genetics, are focused mainly in stem-cells (as a tool to understand gene functioning and cell therapy) , aging and neuromuscular disorders focusing the following aspects: gene identification, genotype-phenotype correlations , and mechanisms underlying clinical variability. More recently she is investigating the use of zika virus aigainst brain cancer. She has published 403 peer-reviewed papers , May 2023 ), which were cited ~ 1 14319 times (average 40 per paper international ; H index = 57 ;Publon); H=75 (Google Scholar, 23572 citations ), Scopus: H=62, 18357 citations . She has been the mentor of undergraduate and graduate students who presented 51 thesis. Was awarded several international prizes such as: L 'Oreal 's / UNESCO for Women in Science-as the best Latin American researcher in 2001 - TWAS for Research in Medical Sciences in 2004, Mexican Prize of Science and Technology in 2008 and Gaetano Conte in 2011. She was columnist of the weekly magazine VEJA having written more than 250 articles for lay people. She is currently columnist of @radiouspsp , where she discusses new scientific advances twice a month. She is the author of two books Gen ÉTICA and O LEGADO DOS GENES From 2010 to 2012 she was part of the board of revisors (BORE) of scientific journal Science. She has been actively Involved in ethical aspects related to genome research, genetic testing and scientific political decisions regarding the approval of the embryonic stem -cells bill in 2005 and 2008. Currently she is also investigating the genetic variability associated to COVID-19 clinical variability.(project MS-CNPq/coalizão) (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
