Scientific Computing Program
About us
The Fiocruz Scientific Computing Programme (Procc/Fiocruz) is a Fiocruz initiative to work towards the development and application of innovative mathematical and statistical methods in bioscience research, primarily those developed at the Foundation.
It aims to maintain high productivity in quantitative research focused on study design and data analysis and on the mathematical and statistical modelling of biological systems with applications in health areas, ranging from the development of drugs to the study of epidemics, in partnership with research groups inside and outside the institution.
The programme also aims to qualify researchers and methodologists under training, working in the postgraduate courses of the Programme in Computational Biology and Systems at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz) and the Postgraduate Programme in Epidemiology in Public Health (Ensp/Fiocruz).

The InfoDengue System aims to generate an almost real-time alert for cases of dengue transmission in municipalities, allowing the Health Surveillance Secretariats to make more agile decisions about the disease. Using mathematical models that analyse various sources of information, the system provides information on the history of dengue in the municipalities.
The System monitors cases of influenza and illnesses caused by the virus throughout Brazil, analysing epidemiological risks by period, region and characteristics of individuals who are more likely to suffer an illness.
- Computational Biophysics and Molecular Modelling
Among the Foundation's pioneers in computational methodologies, mainly modelling applied to studies of essential molecular targets in the search for more efficient therapies for neglected diseases (e.g. dengue, malaria, Chagas disease and AIDS), broadening the research approach traditionally carried out at this institution.
