Paulo Navarro-Costa is group leader of the Evolution, Reproduction & Medicine (EvoReproMed) laboratory of the Lisbon Medical School (Portugal), and program coordinator at the European Molecular Genetics Quality Network (UK). His work is at the interface between basic and clinical reproductive research and has uncovered, among others, the molecular drivers responsible for the low spermatogenic efficiency of gorillas (bioRxiv, 2023); an ancient transcriptional program common to animal male germ cells (bioRxiv, 2023), a new model for transcript sharing in mammalian spermatogenesis (PLOS Biology, 2020), a transcriptional regulator essential for the unpacking of sperm chromosomes after fertilization (EMBO reports, 2018), and an epigenetic mechanism that temporally controls meiotic transcription (Nature Communications, 2016). At the clinical level, he coordinates a yearly external quality assessment program that evaluates the performance of more than 100 genetic diagnosis laboratories across the globe, as well as being responsible for the European Academy of Andrology best practice guidelines on the genetic testing of male infertility. He is member of the Editorial Board of the official journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (USA), and Invited Assistant Professor at the Lisbon Medical School. He serves as referee for international funding agencies and scientific journals, and regularly contributes to scientific outreach activities. Paulo has 18 publications (10 as corresponding author), an average of 41 citations per publication, and 2 kids (data: Google Scholar and his wife).
