In her lecture, the director highlighted the role of people in the history of the Institute, highlighting three moments that, according to her, marked its trajectory. In addition, she presented a quick retrospective of the last 125 years, discussing the symbiotic relationship between the IOC and the Fiocruz and highlighting the bibliographic memory developed by actors of the Institute, and not by historians.
“The history of the Institute has three periods. The first goes from its creation to the closure of laboratories by the military dictatorship; the second, from the post-dictatorship recovery to the Covid-19 pandemic; and the third represents the present and future based on the lessons learned from the pandemic,” he said.

Regarding the three periods, Tania listed the strategies that were present in each one, but made a point of detailing the actions carried out in the third, which goes from 2020 to the present day.
“In my view, the strategies of this period (3rd) are based on interdisciplinarity; on the intensification of basic studies of physiopathogenesis, omics and precision medicine; on the activation of national and international cooperation; and on the consolidation of research and innovation networks”, he listed.
As for actions, the director focused on the deliveries made by the Institute over the last five years.
“What the Fiocruz did during the pandemic, everyone knows. After all, about 80% of the vaccines produced in Brazil were made here. So, I want to focus on what the IOC did. Implementation of remote teaching and work; preparation of the 'Plan IOC – Covid-19', a document with a set of instruments for mitigating the risks associated with in-person activities and epidemiological surveillance at the Institute, in the context of the syndemic; the performance of the Laboratory of Respiratory Viruses, Exanthematics, Enteroviruses and Viral Emergencies in responses to society; creation of the Technological Innovation Showcase for Covid; and the construction of two new platforms (NB3 and NBA3) are some of them”, he celebrated.
The situation of the Hélio and Peggy Pereira Pavilion, which has been undergoing infrastructure works for more than two years to update the electrical and air conditioning systems, impacting the day-to-day operations of ten of the Institute's Laboratories, was also addressed by the board.
“The circumstances of the HPP, for example, delay the completion of research, make it difficult to fulfill commitments made to funding agencies, fragment teams across campuses, among other inconveniences. But resilience is a positive point for the community IOC, especially in light of issues involving infrastructure. Let us continue together in the fight for improvements in our spaces”, he emphasized.
