Jose G. Dorea is a professor at the University of Brasilia's department of nutritional sciences. He obtained his DVM from the Rural University of Pernambuco, and has an MS and a PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in Nutritional Biochemistry. He has published over 170 peer-reviewed papers, mostly in the field of heavy metals toxicology.[1] He has provided consulting services to the International Atomic Energy Agency,[2] and serves as an editor of a number of scientific journals, including the Journal of Pediatric Biochemistry.[3] Dorea has published a number of papers regarding the safety of thimerosal-containing vaccines.[4][5][6][7]
In addition, Dorea has conducted research concluding that miners in the Amazon exposed to the mercury used to extract gold did not suffer from mercury poisoning as a result.[8]
