Brazil

The Center’s partnership with Brazil endured for more than 40 years.

Launched by CGHE Founding Director Dr. Richard Guerrant, collaborations between the University of Ceará and the University of Virginia fostered an environment for scientists to train and research topics relevant to low-resource areas.

The collaboration was supported by the NIH Fogarty International Center and developed record-setting numbers of trainees, students, and publications.
