Resumo: We all hope that biotechnology will answer some social and economical unavoidable requirements of the modern life. It is necessary to improve agriculture production, food abundance and health quality in a sustainable development. It is indeed a hard task to keep the progress on taking into account the rational use of genetic resources and the conservation of biodiversity. In this context, a historical perspective and prospects of the biomedical research on parasitic diseases is described in a view of three generations of investigators. This work begins with a picture of the scientific progress on biomedical research and human health over the last centuries. This black-and-white picture is painted by dissecting current advancements of molecular biology and modern genetics, which are outlined at the meaning of prospecting achievements in health science for this new millenium.

Espera-se que os grandes avanços da pesquisa de genomas alcancem saltos visíveis para a sobrevivência da humanidade dentro do contexto de sustentabilidade global. Vemos atualmente a necessidade imediata de incrementar a produção de alimentos e melhorar a qualidade de vida e saúde humana, mantendo a biodiversidade preservada. A biotecnologia é a utilização racional das ferramentas geradas pela biologia molecular e genética moderna que, dado ao grande avanço dessas áreas, poderá em breve responder essas novas questões. Este trabalho, escrito por três gerações de pesquisadores, inicia com uma perspectiva histórica da pesquisa biomédica em doenças parasitárias nos últimos séculos em nosso país. Em seguida, descrevemos os mais recentes avanços da biologia molecular e genética genômica. Ressaltamos a importância dessas novas conquistas dentro de uma prospecção da pesquisa biomédica deste século e seus possíveis impactos na saúde humana. Universidade de São Paulo.
