About the Author
Dr. Mayana Zatz is a professor of Human and Medical Genetics and is currently the director of the Human Genome Research Center and Institute of stem-cells in genetic disorders, at the University of São Paulo. She completed a Ph.D. in Human and Medical Genetics there and was a post-doc in medical genetics at the University of California. Her research in human and medical genetics focuses mainly on the following aspects of neuromuscular disorders: novel genes identification, genotype-phenotype correlations, mechanisms of clinical variability and stem-cells as a tool to understand gene expression and their therapeutic applications. She published about 300 peer-reviewed papers that were cited 8700 times ( h=43). She has been actively involved in ethical aspects related to genome research, genetic testing and political decisions regarding the approval of the Brazilian embryonic stem-cell bill by the Congress in 2005 and by the Supreme Court in 2008.
Dr. O. Keith Okamoto is a professor in the Department of Genetics and Evolutionary Biology at the University of São Paulo (USP). Prior to joining the University, he was a professor of Neurosciences at the Medical School of the Federal University of São Paulo. He earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the USP and he conducted research as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, where he was also affiliated to the Harvard’s Bauer Center for Genomics Research. Dr. Okamoto is a member of the Brazilian Cell Therapy Network, and head of the Translational Genomics Laboratory at USP. His current research focuses on the interplay between stem cell biology and cancer, with emphasis on the genetic and molecular mechanisms inducing a stem cell-like phenotype in cancer cells, their role in tumor heterogeneity and aggressiveness, and the contribution of normal stem cells to tumor development and metastasis. Preclinical therapy studies for cancer and some neurological disorders comprise another major scientific interest of his group.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
