Fundação Oswaldo Cruz

Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) is Brazil’s national public health research foundation and graduate education institution, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro with a network of campuses and units across the country. Its industry-facing infrastructure includes co-located GMP facilities for vaccines and other biologics alongside a pharmaceutical development and manufacturing unit, enabling scale-up, quality testing, and technology transfer. Reference laboratories, high-biosafety facilities, and a clinical research hospital support surveillance, trials, and regulatory-grade evaluation in collaboration with public and private partners. Fiocruz’s research is sustained by competitive federal funding in Brazil and support from international agencies and foundations.
