The current study proposes to identify and reflect briefly on the rapid implementation of an initiative by the Brazilian scientific community in Molecular Biology to perform COVID-19 molecular testing Specifically, as an example, the article addresses the University Network for COVID-19 Diagnosis as a response to the emergency demand for the production and distribution of these tests in the state of Sao Paulo, the epidemic's epicenter in Brazil The experience with the University Network in Sao Paulo showed clearly that the implementation of the following key stages is crucial for such a translational process to be successful: (1) A university biomedical research platform based on integration between Biomedical and Health Sciences with Biochemistry, Immunology, Infectious Diseases, and Epidemiology: the science park should be equipped to adequately receive, handle, and process biological material, meeting international quality and safety standards;(2) Standardization and adequate conditions for collecting samples in the health services, with logistic support for transporting the material from the collection points to the laboratories: this process should guarantee rapid, sustained, and precise turnaround of the test results to the health services 9;(3) Automation of the genetic material's extraction and amplification for RT-qPCR testing, as well as standardization of the tests' scientific and clinical validation processes 4: these are fundamental tools for efficacy and efficiency in monitoring the infection's evolution;(4) Material consolidation and human resources for maintaining a permanent national biotechnology park and/or improvement of conditions for access to the tests supplied by the international market: implementation of partnerships for production and purchasing processes for inputs with criteria according to the needs and proper use of public resources;(5) Guaranteed economic sustainability of the design and implementation of legal measures to support public programs or policies for industrial development in heath, with clear regulatory definitions: this stage, downstream from an arrangement stemming from the research community and health services, should mobilize other actors in the Health Economic and Industrial Complex to ensure continuous access to the necessary inputs for this system's proper development
