Eduardo Vieira Neto, MD, PhD

Postdoctoral Associate

Vieira Neto graduated from State University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He received training in medical genetics at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). In his Master of Sciences at UFRJ, he acquired skills in newborn screening by ESI-MS/MS. He obtained his PhD degree at the same institution in 2018. His Doctoral Thesis was: Phenylketonuria in Rio de Janeiro - mutational profile and outcomes of early treatment. He was trained in biochemical and molecular genetics at Dr. Jacinto Magalhães Medical Genetics Center, University of Porto, Portugal. His main publications investigated the mutation profile of PKU in Rio de Janeiro, and the high discordance rate between genotype and phenotype in PKU patients. In his present postdoctoral research project at Dr. Vockley lab, University of Pittsburgh, he is investigating the effect of mutations in the mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP) subunits on mitochondrial bioenergetics and lipid composition.
