The Núcleo de Pesquisa em Antropologia do Corpo e da Saúde (NUPACS) is a multi-disciplinary research centre focussing on anthropology and health.
The NUPACS aims to develop effective methodologies which aid research in the areas of health and the interface between ethnography procedures and possibilities of quantification and systematisation of data. Through this, the NUPACS has developed information databases and utilised statistical techniques to further its research objectives.
The NUPACS hosts courses and lectures in the area of health in governmental and non-governmental organisations, as well as conducting training of researchers in the areas of anthropology and health.
The website of the NUPACS contains details of publications produced by the Centre, profiles of researchers, as well as contact information.
