Dr. de Quevedo has been involved in research since 1994, while still in medical school. He was a research fellow working with Ivan A. Izquierdo, PhD, one of Brazil’s most important scientists. In 1996, he published his first research paper focused on the neurobiology of learning and memory, an area to which he devoted himself until the completion of his doctorate.
