Inauguration of a Scientific Platform in the university of São Paulo Research and Innovation Center
On July 4, the Institut Pasteur has inaugurated the Pasteur-USP Scientific Platform in the University of São Paulo Research and Innovation Center (Inova USP) which is hosting 17 laboratories dedicated to innovation. This platform will focus on the study of pathogens for preventing epidemics, and act as an emergency intervention cell. The 1,700 square-meter area will house the first Biosafety Level-3 research laboratories aligned with international standards, where high-risk pathogens will be studied. The expected investment is around R$ 40 million, with R$ 15 million for equipment.
