and computer scientist, educator, publisher, science writer, entrepreneur and
administrator, born in Campinas, Brazil. He holds a doctoral degree in physiology from the
University of São Paulo.
His main contributions as a researcher and publisher concern the following areas[1] :
neuroethology; medical informatics; health sciences; internet and web applications in
medicine, biology and health; artificial intelligence; artificial neural networks; distance
education and e-learning; telemedicine; biological and health impacts of non-ionizing
radiation and history of neuroscience.
He is currently the president of the Edumed Institute, a non-profit R&D institution and
director of Edulogica Educação & Tecnologia, a consultant and commercial enterprise
specializing in distance education.

Research and education
Sabbatini began his scientific career in neurophysiology in 1966, while he was a medical
student at the Medical School of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto [2] . He began
to work in basic biomedical research under the supervision of Prof. Miguel Rolando Covian,
an Argentine neurophysiologist, who encouraged him to found, after he graduated in 1968,
the first research laboratory of neuroethology in Latin America[3] , at the Department of
Physiology. Also there, he started in 1970 one of the first Brazilian and Latin American
groups of research, development and education on the computer applications in
biomedicine. Sabbatini got a doctorate in behavioral neuroscience in 1977 and immediately
thereafter went to spend two and a half years doing postdoctoral work in the same field at
the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry's Primate Behavior Department (in Munich,
Germany), under Manfred Maurus.
After returning to Brazil, Sabbatini accepted an invitation by Dean Prof. José Aristodemo
Pinotti, to move to the State University of Campinas in 1983, Sabbatini founded the Center
for Biomedical Informatics, one of the first interdisciplinary group of its kind in Brazil [4] ,
and a collaborating professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Faculty
of Electrical Engineering and in the Department of Physiology of the Institute of Biology. In
1997, he created and was appointed chairman of the newly created area of medical
informatics and biostatistics in the Medical School[5] . In these capacities, until his
retirement from active duty with the University after 35 years of dedication to teaching and
research, Sabbatini advised many students in their research projects and dissertations. He
also wrote a large number of papers and books in many fields, and created a series of new
graduate courses and disciplines in biomedical computing, artificial intelligence, distance
education, electronic publishing, Internet applications and telemedicine.
Starting in 1993, with the advent of the WWW in Brazil, Sabbatini became a leader in the
research of new technologies and in the development of a large number of on-line courses
in health sciences, using videoconferencing, satellite-based teleconferencing and the
internet[6] . He has worked intensively in building teaching capacity in this field in Brazil
and was a member of the first Distance Education Working Group of the State University of
Campinas[7] . He also founded the Edumed Institute for Education in Medicine and Health,
working until this day as CEO and Chairman of the Board, and director of its International
Center for Information Technologies in Health. The Edumed Institute has organized a
national consortium comprising dozens of universities and medical associations with the
aim of developing a national network of distance education.
Sabbatini's initiatives in technological innovation in Brazil has been recognized several
times, including, in August 2007, by Info Exame Magazine's shortlist on the "50 Champions
of Innovation" of 2007[8]
Organizational work
Sabbatini was one of the specialists in Brasil to promote the birth of medical informatics as
a new science, being involved in the creation of the Brazilian Society for Health Informatics
(where he served as first vice-president, 1986-1987 and second president, 1987-1988 [9] ),
the Brazilian Journal of Health Informatics, and the First Brazilian Congress on Health
Informatics, and the series of International Conferences on Telemedicine and Distance
Education (TELMED). Among other things, he created and edited three other periodicals in
medical informatics, Informedica [10], Intermedic [11] and Informatica Médica [12]

3. Renato M. E. Sabbatini 3
magazines, served as Medical Informatics Director to the Brazilian Medical Association and
as a national and international consultant to the World Health Organization, Pan American
Health Organization[13] , Inter-American Development Bank[14] , São Paulo State Research
Foundation, National Research Council and others.
Entrepreneurial work
Together with family members, Sabbatini founded a number of high-tech companies in
Germany and Brazil, working as a part-time consultant for them while he was a
university-based researcher, and as CEO and chairman of the board for two of them after
his retirement. These companies were Vortex GMBH (one of the first European software
producer for the TRS-80 microcomputer), Dataquest Ltd. (publishing and education in IT),
Webpraxis International Ltd. (consultancy and development projects for the Web) and
EduLogica Technology and Education Ltd. (distance education and educational technology).
He also helped to conceive, plan and establish other companies, such as ProfSat.
Popularization of science
Sabbatini has a long history of writing about science to laypersons, having started with
articles and columns in major Brazilian magazines and newspapers, such as Folha de São
Paulo and O Estado de São Paulo. From 1991 to 2001, he wrote a series of weekly science
and informatics columns in the main newspaper of Campinas, Correio Popular. For this
effort, he won the prestigious 1992 award of the Brazilian National Research Council, as
the Best Science Popularizer (Prêmio José Reis de Divulgação Científica) [15] . He has
taught and lectured extensively on science journalism (graduate program at UNICAMP [16] )
and is active in this professional field.
Electronic publishing
Starting 1996, Sabbatini created with his colleagues in the State University of Campinas a
number of websites devoted to promote the awareness of general public to health-related
information, such as, among others: the Brazilian Virtual Hospital [17] (the third of its kind
in the world), the Virtual Sports Center [18] [19] , the Brazilian Virtual Veterinary Hospital,
the Virtual Odontology Center, the Visible Human Image Database in South America [20] ,
the Health & Life On-line Magazine [21], the Brain & Mind On-Line Magazine [22], the
NutriWeb On-Line Magazine [23], several bulletins and newsletter distributed by email lists.
He created and acted as technical director to the first Brazilian project of scientific
electronic publishing, the e*pub Group [24], where several pioneering, exclusively on-line
publications were created under his technical direction, such as the On-Line Journal of
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery [25] and the On-Line Journal of Dentistry and Oral
Medicine [26]. Sabbatini is a member of the editorial board of Critical Reviews in Biomedical
Engineering[27]

History of neuroscience
Another field where Sabbatini has been active is the history of neuroscience. He organized
for the first time in Brazil a systematic course on the subject [28] and is associate editor of
the section on the history of neuroscience in the Brain & Mind magazine[29] , having
published nine articles on different aspects of international history[30] . A book, the first in
Brazil, is being published in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Skeptics movement
One of the founders of the organized skepticism/rationalism movement in Brazil, Sabbatini
founded in 2001 the Brazilian Society of Skeptics and Rationalists, which has currently
more than 300 members [31] . The Society discusses actively and promotes ethical
responsibility in the mass media. It has a website [32], which features on-line articles on
pseudoscience, antiscience and skepticism by Sabbatini and others, and has a web-based
discussion group [33].
