Mission and Vision

Mission:

Protect the material inheritance of the "Instituto Oswaldo Cruz Anatomical Pathology Section Collection", composed of samples collected for studies and diagnoses during the works conducted by the Division/Section in the thirties and seventies, from all over Brazil; scientifically promote this Collection; and search for development opportunities and collaborative activities focused on scientific research within the biological collection.

Vision:

Restructure, organise and modernise the materials of the Anatomical Pathology Section Collection by recovering anatomical pieces, making an informatised inventory, creating a databank for information management, transforming the collection in an informal learning and teaching tool for scientific knowledge sharing among visitors, developing multidisciplinary research within the collection, and by establishing national and international partnerships.
