Researcher Hermann Gonçalves Schatzmayr's curriculum accompanies the very evolution of the epidemiological picture of viral diseases in Brazil. At the IOC since 1961, it has participated in efforts to eradicate smallpox and polio.
In the 80s, he led the team responsible for the isolation of dengue viruses types 1, 2 and 3 in the country. He was president of the F.iocruz between 1990 and 1992, taking office at a delicate moment in the history of the Foundation. At the institution, he created a department of virology that gave rise to several national and international reference centers.
He was a member of World Health Organization (WHO) committees on viral diarrhea, viral hepatitis, childhood vaccination and smallpox. He was a member of the Brazilian Academy of Veterinary Medicine and the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
Schatzmayr was one of the authors of the book 'Virology in the State of Rio de Janeiro: an overview', which presents a global and historical perspective of this field of research in the State, over more than a century. The publication describes the performance of State institutions that carry out research, technological development and production of drugs and other products for the treatment and control of viruses.
Since 2012, new generations of scientists have been revealed at an event named after the exponent of virology. Enabling integration among graduate students and allowing them to share their results and experiences with the scientific community, the Hermann Schatzmayr Advanced Virology Symposium has already highlighted more than a hundred quality scientific results, which contribute to increasing the development rate human of the country.
A sportsman, Hermann was a basketball player and passionate about the red-black shirt he defended along with Flamengo's youth team. The virologist was also a lover of tennis and button football. In addition, he had a special relationship with music, especially classical music, and an unparalleled ease with learning new languages: he loved reading books in German, Spanish, Italian and French, and scratched Russian.
Recognized as one of the greatest virologists in the country, until the end of his life Hermann conducted studies on dengue and poxviruses. The researcher died on June 21, 2010, leaving an enormous contribution to the IOC, to Fiocruz and the development of national science.
To check out more details about Hermann Schatzmayr's life and professional trajectory, access the testimonial that the scientists gave to the IOC a few weeks before his death, in reference to the Institute's 110th anniversary. See also the special about the virologist.
