About Dr. Mendes Neto 

I'm Dr. Nilson N. Mendes Neto, M.D., a physician-scientist from Brazil. I've spent the past 6 years conducting crucial research on arboviruses in northwest Brazil, particularly focusing on Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) and its neurological complications. Additionally, I have been investigating novel treatments like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for chronic pain associated with conditions such as fibromyalgia and headaches. In recognition of the significance of my research, I received the 2018 International Investigator Award from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). Currently, I'm pursuing my Masters of Medical Sciences in Clinical Investigation at Harvard Medical School.
