Researchers from FGV EMAp received researchers from Biomanguinhos/Fiocruz to discuss the possibilities of applying mathematics with a view to generating advances in Public Health in Brazil.

On the morning of January 21, researchers from the Getulio Vargas Foundation's School of Applied Mathematics (FGV EMAp) were visited by researchers from Bio-Manguinhos/Fiocruz in order to find potential synergies and possible fields for joint action. On the occasion, the FGV researchers presented projects they are developing based on machine learning and Artificial Intelligence that can promote public health in Brazil.

The deputy director of FGV EMAp, Claudio Struchiner, pointed out that mathematical systems can play an important role in supporting decision-making on immunization and other public health topics. “In this scenario, the School was created in 2011 with the aim of developing contemporary mathematics, adapted to the challenges of the information and knowledge age,” he said.
