The Pasteur Fiocruz Center for Immunology and Immunotherapy is inaugurated in Ceará

Inaugurated on Friday May 17, 2024, the Pasteur Fiocruz Center for Immunology and Immunotherapy, located in Fiocruz-Ceará, brings together scientists from the Institut Pasteur and Fiocruz, two Pasteur Network members, to develop an integrative approach to immunotherapies applied to both infectious and non-communicable diseases. This scientific cooperation aims to accelerate research in immunology and immunotherapy at a regional, national, and international level. It enjoys the support of the Ceará state government and the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, through its Embassy in Brasilia.

The new center is located on the Fiocruz Ceará campus in Eusébio, 30 minutes from Fortaleza (the state's capital in Northeastern Brazil) in a 2,350 sqm building. The center will also benefit from the structure of Fiocruz’s regional unit, opened in 2008, which is today the core focus of the Industrial and Technological Health Hub in Ceará (Polo Industrial e Tecnológico da Saúde – PITS).
