Among his numerous works, some particularly worthy of mention include papers showing the peripheral conversion of T4 (thyroxine) to T3 (triiodothyronine) on the cell membrane (Endocrinology, 1979); evidencing the autocrine production of IGF (insulin-like growth factor) by the thyroid gland (J Clin Invest, 1988); describing susceptibility genes for thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in potassium channels (Cell, 2010, and Nature Reviews, 2011), as well as contributions to laboratory endocrinology (Clin Chem, 1998, J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2000, and 2016).
At the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp), he was entrusted with the task of supervising resident doctors and also held several positions there, namely Member and President of the Medical Residency Committee; Deputy Chief of the Department of Medicine; and Head of the Endocrinology subject.
Furthermore, Dr. Barros Maciel was part of the Associate Professor Committee and served as a Research Coordinator at the institution’s Assistant Dean’s Office for Postgraduate Studies and Research department and as Assistant-Dean of Postgraduate Studies and Research programs.
