COOPERATION AND INTERCHANGE

The program maintains direct scientific and clinical cooperation links with several institutes and departments of the School of Medicine (FMUSP), such as the Children´s Institute (Instituto da Criança) and the Departments of Neurology, Ear Nose & Throat Specialty Clinics, and Psychiatry, among others. Other health-related institutions, such as UNIFESP, PUC-SP, Charity Hospital (Santa Casa de Misericórdia) and Cancer Center, as well as some first-grade private clinics and centers, are also partners of the program. The Human Genome Center, which hosts most practical activities of the program, receives patients and performs genetic tests for the different institutions located all over Brazil.
