Adriano de Bernardi Schneider, best known as Adriano Schneider (born August 20, 1988) is a Brazilian researcher who has been involved in the fight against the Zika virus in the United States since the last epidemic in Brazil in 2015.[1]
In 2016, he won the Most Implementable Solution Award (sponsored by GE Foundation) for the creation of a dispositive (LAD) to combat mosquitoes in South America,[2][3] as well as made contributions for the understanding of the Zika virus evolution.[1][4][5]
Education and career
Adriano de Bernardi Schneider was born on August 20, 1988, in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil to Luis Antonio M. Schneider and Helena Beatriz de B. Schneider, who owned a ranch near the State border with Uruguay. He graduated from Colegio Anchieta (high school) in 2005 and went to attend the course of Biology at the Pontificia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul where obtained the bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences in 2009. In 2010 he went to the Agronomy College of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul to obtain his M.S. degree in Agronomy in 2012. In 2011 he went to the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service in Aberdeen, Idaho as a visiting scientist to work on his thesis. Following the completion of his Masters Program, in early 2013 he moved to Charlotte, NC to become a PhD student on the course of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. There he joined the Plant Pathways Elucidation Project where he as involved as a PhD Student and Team Leader to discover and describe novel health promoting plant compounds until mid 2015.[6]
In 2015 he moved to the evolutionary biology field, getting involved with flavivirus research and combating the Zika virus. He is currently a member of the Zika Response Working Group.
