Program History
The implementation of the Post-Graduation Program in Applied Immunology and Parasitology (PPIPA) of the Federal University of Uberlândia was recommended by CAPES on October 31st, 1991, in the Academic Master's modality, through the Legal Advice DAA/GTC/096/91 deliberated by the, then called Technical Advisory Group, which today corresponds to the Scientific-Technical Council of Higher Education (CTC-ES).
The Master's course activities began in the first semester of 1992, and, later, this course was recognized by the National Council of Education of the Ministry of Education (CNE/MEC), through Ordinance nº 490 of March 27, 1997.
