Yocie Yoneshigue Valentin (born 1939 in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian biologist and oceanographer. She is the coordinator of the National Institute of Antarctic Science and Technology for Environmental Research[1] and a professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
She was a pioneer in the study of the use of seaweed as a source of drugs, in the study of the effects of substances extracted from seaweed in the treatment of the HIV virus and the virus that causes herpes. It studies the extraction of algae metabolites, which can also originate products that act in the treatment and prophylaxis of coagulation problems.[2]
Biography
[edit]Yocie entered the Natural History course at the then University of Brazil in 1960. In 1985, she defended her doctorate in sciences at the Université de la Mediterranée aix Marseille II. She is currently a collaborating professor at the Department of Botany at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). She was coordinator of the National Institute of Science and Technology - Antarctic for Environmental Research (INCT-APA) from 2009 to 2018 and consultant for the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), the Foundation for Research Support of the State of São Paulo, consultant for the Carlos Chagas Filho Foundation for Research Support of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ).[2]
She is a member of the National Committee for Antarctic Research (CONAPA) and of the Life Sciences Scientific Group of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) from 2012 to 2014. He was president of the Algas Network (The Algas Network is a multidisciplinary project that has existed since 2005, implemented by the Ministry of Science and Technology, which encompasses several research institutes) from 2005 to 2009.
She has published 133 articles in specialized journals and 172 papers in annals of events. He has 31 book chapters published. He supervised 24 master's dissertations and 10 doctoral theses, in addition to 15 scientific initiation works and 6 course completion works in the areas of ecology and oceanography. He has received 8 awards and/or honors, among which the 7th edition of the Pioneers of Science in Brazil (CNPq) stands out. He works in the area of oceanography, with an emphasis on biological oceanography. In his professional activities, he interacted with about 200 collaborators in the co-authorship of scientific papers. She is currently a FAPERJ fellow in the category of emeritus researcher and senior researcher at CNPq since 2015.
In 2015, researchers Gilberto Amado Filho and Ricardo da Gama Bahia of the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden Research Institute, in collaboration with scientists from the United States and South Africa, honored Yocie in the name of a new species of rhodolith-forming calcareous algae, Sporolithon yoneshigueae Bahia, Beloved-Son, Maneveldt & W. H. Adey. The species was found between 30 and 60 m deep in the Abrolhos continental shelf and on the tops of the seamounts of the Vitória Trindade Chain.
