Keizo Asami  Institute

The Keizo Asami Institute (iLIKA) was founded on April 25, 2022, and its existence formalized by the CONSUNI Resolution No. 03/2022, which replaces the CONSUNI Resolution No. 01/1989. The iLIKA had its origins in the Laboratory Keizo Asami of Immunopathology (LIKA), a set of laboratories inaugurated on April 23, 1986, and named in honor of the Japanese scientist who began implementing the laboratory in Brazil, but died before the inauguration.
