  • Title: The Oswaldo Cruz Institute and its relationship with other biomedical research centers in São Paulo.
    Author: Teixeira LA.
    Journal: Parassitologia; 2005 Dec; 47(3-4):345-51. PubMed ID: 16866040.
    Abstract:
    This paper deals with the relationships between the Oswaldo Cruz Institute, a biomedical institution which was founded in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in the beginning of the 20th century, and other similar institutions founded in São Paulo during the same period, especially the Butantan and the Biological Institutes. The analysis comprehends the three first decades of the 20th century. The paper starts with a comparative presentation of the trajectory of these three institutions, showing the reasons which determined the great influence the Oswaldo Cruz Institute exerted on the other two. Then, it analyses these influences, principally on the basis of the interchange of researchers among the institutions. It concludes by showing that, due to the institutions' greater professionalization, these influences were increasingly turned into integration.
