Marcos Buckeridge was a Scientific Researcher at the Botany Institute of the São Paulo State Environmental Secretariat for 20 years. In 2006, he moved to the University of São Paulo (USP), where he is now a Full Professor at the Institute of Biosciences. He served as President of the Association of Students and Researchers in Great Britain (1993 and 1994) and as President of the Botanical Society of São Paulo for two terms (2001 to 2005). Between 2015 and 2019, Buckeridge was President of the São Paulo State Academy of Sciences. In October 2018, he was elected Director of the Institute of Biosciences at the University of São Paulo. He is a member of USP's Institute for Advanced Studies, where he created and coordinated the USP-Global Cities Program.His research focuses primarily on climate change, bioenergy, and public policy. He was a founding member of the FAPESP BIOEN Program and served as Scientific Director of the National Laboratory of Renewable Energy in Campinas (CNPEM) from 2009 to 2012. Since 2008, Buckeridge has been the Director of the National Institute of Science and Technology for Bioethanol (INCT for Bioethanol). His group uncovered the chemical structure of the cell wall in sugarcane and miscanthus, two of the most important grasses used for bioenergy. His work on plant cell walls led him to propose the Glycomic Code Theory. His research has emphasized the investigation of native plants from various Brazilian biomes (Amazon, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga), cultivated plants (sugarcane, corn, soybeans, beans, oranges, and others), and urban environments.He revealed physiological mechanisms and metabolic pathways related to carbohydrate signaling in plant development. His current research focuses on systems biology, particularly applying network theory to understand the overall functioning of plants. He conducted pioneering studies on how Brazilian plants respond to increasing atmospheric CO#8322; and, more recently, to combinations of CO#8322;, water stress, and temperature, elucidating fundamental mechanisms of plant responses to climate change.Buckeridge also conducts research related to Applied Urban Sciences, focusing on developing public policies grounded in scientific knowledge for urban environments. In 2010, he was selected as a lead author for the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), published in 2014 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In 2017, he became the only Brazil-based scientist to contribute as an author to the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C, published in December 2018. For four consecutive years, he has been listed among the worlds 20,000 most productive researchers and the 1,000 most productive researchers in Brazil. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
