Marcos Nogueira Eberlin (born 4 March 1959[1]) is a Brazilian chemist and former professor at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Campinas. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and received the Brazilian National Order of Scientific Merit in 2005 and the Thomson Medal in 2016.[1]

Eberlin discovered the Eberlin Reaction during his work on gas phase ion chemistry, and he and his research group introduced EASI[2] (Easy Ambient Sonic-spray Ionization), an ionization technique used in mass spectrometry.

Eberlin is an advocate of intelligent design in Brazil,[3][4] a pseudoscience on which he also lectures and he has signed the Dissent From Darwinism statement.[5][6] He is a creationist also, and has said that evolution theory is a fallacy.[7]. During the covid-19 pandemic, Eberlin supported the use of medications without proven efficacy such as hydroxychloroquine.

His daughter, Livia S. Eberlin,[8] is also a chemist who won the MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship in 2018 for her research on the use of mass spectrometry to diagnose cancer.[9] Eberlin and his daughter have worked together on a different project, using mass spectrometry to detect counterfeit money.[8]
