Anton Breinl arrived in Queensland in January 1910 as the Institute's inaugural director. Until the Institute's laboratory was opened in June 1913, Breinl undertook investigative tours (including to Papua New Guinea) to assess the most pressing problems to be addressed by the Institute. He determined that the research program would concentrate on mosquito-borne diseases, hookworm and filaria, and the physiology of living on the tropics. In 11 years the Institute produced 57 papers, almost half of which carried Breinl's name. The Institute (and Breinl) was subject, from its inception, to a relentless campaign from J. H. L. Cumpston, Director of Commonwealth Quarantine Medical Service, who wanted it in Sydney under his control as part of a Commonwealth Department of Health. After Breinl resigned in October 1920 the Institute became wholly subject to the Federal Government. In 1930 its functions were transferred to become the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine at the University of Sydney. The Institute is sometimes stated to be the predecessor of the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine, which was established at the James Cook University in 2008.
