In this article, we explore the career of Dr. Marc Abreu, his legacy in the medical field, and his pioneering studies that have made a global impact on healthcare — with over 600 patients from more than 41 countries treated by him — offering increasingly hopeful prospects for individuals facing challenging diseases.

Who is Dr. Marc Abreu?

Dr. Marc Abreu is a physician and surgeon with an impressive academic and professional career. He is the creator of btt technology and founder of the company Brain Tunnelgenix Technologies Corp. and the btt Medical Institute. He graduated in Brazil from the Federal University of São Paulo School of Medicine (UNIFESP) and in the United States from the Schools of Medicine at the Universities of Pittsburgh, Indiana, Harvard, and Yale. His solid training was the starting point for an exceptional medical career. Additionally, Dr. Marc Abreu was a professor at the prestigious Yale Schools of Medicine University e Harvard University, deepening and sharing his already vast knowledge and experience in the medical field and brain thermodynamics. It was at Yale University, in fact, that his groundbreaking research led him to the discovery of the Brain Thermal Tunnel, a revolutionary discovery that, as officially announced by Yale University, enabled the continuous and noninvasive measurement of human brain temperature for the first time in history. This biological discovery by Dr. Marc Abreu marks a historic advance in medicine, opening up a completely innovative approach to understanding the thermodynamic functioning of the human body through the brain. Born in the city of Ourinhos, in the interior of São Paulo, his original name is Márcio Aurélio Martins Abreu. Living and working as a physician in the United States, because the English language has no translation for the masculine name Márcio and its pronunciation is similar to the feminine name in English, which translates to Márcia in Portuguese, he chose to call himself Dr. Marc Abreu, a name that is easy to understand and pronounce for citizens of the United States and other countries.

Dr. Marc Abreu’s long-lasting and international academic and professional career

A physician and surgeon graduated from the Paulista School of Medicine at the Federal University of São Paulo in Brazil, where he also completed his residency in ophthalmology and received the Professor Renato de Toledo Award for best resident. He also graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the Indiana University School of Medicine in the United States. He completed postgraduate studies at Harvard Medical School, where he also worked as a researcher and professor. At Yale University School of Medicine, he worked as a researcher and professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and completed postdoctoral studies in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, remaining there for over 15 years. Marc Abreu became a surgeon and specialist in brain thermodynamics and thermoregulatory frequencies, and was also responsible for designing and patenting btt (brain thermal tunnel) technology. Since his first scientific publication in 1985 in the field of neuro-ophthalmology, Dr. Marc Abreu has demonstrated a lasting interest in neurology and the study of the brain and brain thermodynamics. His dedication has resulted in over 30 works, including published articles, preprints, and presentations at prestigious medical congresses such as the Anesthesiology Annual Meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the Annual Congress of the Society for Thermal Medicine (STM), focused on presenting the greatest advances in hyperthermia and hypothermia applied in medicine. In addition, Dr. Abreu holds more than 116 patents in over 60 countries worldwide, including Brazil and the United States. Among the highlights of his career, based on his discovery of the Brain Thermal Tunnel (btt), Marc Abreu was able to invent and patent the btt Technology, receiving for the first time the rarest and most valuable type of patent ever issued by the United States Government: patent number US 7,187,960, which includes the biological discovery and protects any measurement by sensors or other instruments in the btt region. For the merit of the discovery and technology, Dr. Marc Abreu was granted a two-year extension on the validity period of this patent. The invention and its technology also earned Dr. Marc Abreu, in partnership with computer manufacturer Asus, the distinction of having the first PC in history cleared by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to monitor temperature during critical procedures such as surgery. In addition to his accomplishments in the field of temperature in medical practice, in the area of thermodynamics, as a researcher and professor at Harvard University, he collaborated directly with the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force on a project to develop advanced lasers with optical resonators. Marc discovered an innovative way to achieve this system by combining two lasers, using an Nd:YAG laser coupled with a second solid-state laser. In 1999, Alcon, the world’s largest eye care company, acquired a patent from Dr. Marc Abreu for an electromagnetic optical system with a wide range of applications for the development of pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, food/beverage formulas, and hydrodynamic analysis. Other significant accomplishments by Dr. Marc Abreu include:

• The development of the first self-testing device for glaucoma, called the Alcon Abreu Tonometry System, announced by Yale University in 2000;
• Discovery and patent of the molecular radiation signature of glucose;
• Pandemic control work at the invitation of the Chinese government in 2003. Given his expertise in temperature, medicine, and the development of medical technologies, Marc Abreu was invited by the Chinese government that year to work in pandemic control, with the SARS virus (SARS-CoV) and later with the H1N1 virus;
• Joint development with SmartSenseCom and the US Naval Research Laboratory for the most advanced sensor for reading the temperature and thermodynamics of the human brain.

Marc Abreu has also contributed professionally to major institutions and corporations around the world, such as: Giant Electronics (Hong Kong) in partnership with the Ministry of Technology of China, Ministry of Agriculture of Brazil, Embrapa (Brazil), Alcon Laboratories, Inc. (Switzerland), Connecticut Fire Academy, Fraunhofer Mainz (Germany), Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de Microtechnique (Switzerland), ASUS Computer Company (Taiwan) and Microsoft Corporation (United States).

Pioneer in Brain Thermodynamics and Thermoregulatory Frequencies

Marc Abreu is widely recognized for his pioneering work and expertise in brain thermodynamics and thermoregulatory frequencies. In addition to developing the first self-testing device for glaucoma, Dr. Marc was the first physician to delineate the radiation signature of the glucose molecule, resulting in a U.S. patent (#7403805). His groundbreaking research also led to the discovery of the “Brain Thermal Tunnel” ( btt ) at Yale University. This revolutionary discovery enabled continuous, noninvasive measurement of brain temperature, marking a historic advance in medicine. The Abreu btt 700 system, patented by Dr. Marc Abreu and cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a North American health regulatory agency similar to Anvisa in Brazil, is a tangible example of its contribution in the field of Cerebral Thermodynamics and Thermoregulatory Frequencies applied to medicine. This system represents advanced technology that has positively impacted the lives of countless people, reflecting Dr. Marc Abreu’s vision of improving the health and well-being of humanity.
