Marcelo Urbano Ferreira concluiu o doutorado em Biologia da Relação Patógeno-Hospedeiro em 1997 pela Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Brasil (título reconhecido em Portugal em 2019) e os cursos de Medicina (1982-1988) e de bacharelado em História (1983-1987), também pela USP. Especializou-se em Clínica Médica (Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP; 1993) e concluiu o Curso Gorgas de Medicina Tropical em 2000. Cumpriu estágios de pesquisa na Universidade de Nagoya, Japão (1995-97) e na Universidade Harvard, Estados Unidos (2005-06). É atualmente Professor Titular do Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas da Universidade de São Paulo, tendo exercido a chefia do Departamento de Parasitologia (2012-16) e a coordenação do programa de pós-graduação em Biologia da Relação Patógeno-Hospedeiro da USP (2010-12). Combinando pesquisa laboratorial e de campo, investiga a evolução e estrutura populacional de plasmódios humanos, bem como fatores de risco, expressão clínica e resposta ao tratamento na malária. Nessas áreas, publicou 180 artigos científicos, que receberam mais de 5.000 citações na literatura (indice H, 39). Foi membro do Comitê Científico da Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network (Oxford, Reino Unido; 2009-2014); desde outubro de 2015, faz parte do Grupo Técnico Assessor em Malária da Organização Panamericana de Saúde. É Investigador Sênior do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (IHMT), Universidade Nova de Lisboa,. No seu currículo Ciência Vitae o termo mais frequente na contextualização da produção científica, tecnológica e artístico-cultural é malária.
