No dia 19 de outubro foi publicada no periódico Plos Biology a terceira atualização de uma pesquisa conduzida por uma equipe da Universidade de Stanford listando os 100 mil cientistas mais influentes do mundo. O banco de dados criado utilizando a base de dados Scopus até agosto de 2021 e avalia métricas como citações, índice H, coautorias e um indicador composto. Os pesquisadores foram ranqueados pela sua contribuição ao longo da carreira e também pela contribuição recente (2020/2021).
A UFSC tem 26 pesquisadores na nova listagem, que inclui um total de 812 pesquisadores brasileiros. O PPGBQA tem 2 pesquisadores que aparecem na lista pelas contribuições ao longo de suas carreiras, o Prof. Dr. Afonso C. D. Bainy e o Prof. Dr. Marcelo Farina. O Prof. Dr. Marcelo Farina já aparecia na listagem publicada em 2020 e foi destacado ainda como um dos pesquisadores mais influentes por suas contribuições recentes (2020/2021).

Prof. Dr. Ana Lúcia Severo Rodrigues was the winner of the First Edition of the Women in Science, Life Sciences Award, senior category, promoted by the Propesc UFSC.
The selection took into account aspects such as internationalization, experience outside the research group, social impact of scientific production, originality of the research line, scientific independence and training of new researchers.
Prof. Ana Lúcia Severo Rodrigues joined UFSC in 1992 and is currently a full professor in the Department of Biochemistry and permanent professor in the Graduate Programs in Biochemistry and Neurosciences. As coordinator of the Neurobiology of Depression research group, she has contributed to the understanding of the molecular targets associated with stress, depression and anxiety. In addition, his research seeks to characterize the behavioral and biochemical effects related to the antidepressant and anxiolytic potential of new biomolecules, as well as physical exercise. His contribution in recent years to the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for the rapid antidepressant response, dependent on synaptogenesis and synaptic protein synthesis in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, is also noteworthy.
