He is Board certified by the Brazilian Society of Medical Genetics since 2011 and he was member of the Board Directory as the Director of the Board Certification until 2018. Dr. Vairo joined Mayo Clinic as a Research Fellow in 2016, and now holds an Associate Consultant position in the Department of Clinical Genomics and the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine (CIM). Dr. Vairo has developed very successful clinical and research careers in the field of inborn errors of metabolism with main interest in the field of lysosomal diseases being awarded as a Young Physician Leader by the National Medical Academy in 2015. Currently, he is part of the Individualized Medicine Clinic Analysis Team, he pursues more advanced analytics, in order to investigate the genetic etiology of the patient’s condition. Before joining the Mayo Clinic, Dr Vairo has worked as a Clinical Geneticist, with emphasis on Inborn Errors of Metabolism, working at the Medical Genetics Service of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA), Brazil (which was accredited by the Ministry of Health, Brazil, as Reference Service for Rare Diseases). He was responsible for the investigation, follow-up and treatment of patients with suspected or confirmed genetic metabolic diseases, including patients admitted to the hospital and patients who come to the outpatient clinics and day hospital.
