Abstract

The Institute of Biomedical Sciences of the University of São Paulo conducts basic, applied and clinical research in the health area, as well as in innovation and biotechnology. The quality of the work developed here is represented by the extensive scientific production of our community in conjunction with the continuous training of personnel associated with research activity at all levels, from scientific initiation to post-doctoral fellows. Our Institution is responsible for a considerable portion of the intellectual / scientific production of the University of São Paulo and maintains agreements of scientific collaboration and innovation with public and private institutions, both national and international. The extension of our research activity and its dissemination requires continuous investment in infrastructure and the maintenance of areas and equipment. In this regard, we have privileged the collaboration and sharing of equipment, spaces and basic infrastructure, ensuring frank interaction between researchers and rationalization in the use of available resources. Therefore, this proposal intends to meet the needs of our Unit (and respective collaborations), considering the multiuser spaces, the facilities and the specific techniques used by the entire community.
