After receiving his medical degree in Prague he was a researcher at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine where he worked on tick fever and developed an organic arsenical cure (atoxyl) for sleeping sickness. A 1905 trip to Brasil to study yellow fever ended ingloriously with the loss of records and both Breinl and his companion, Harold Thomas, succumbing to the disease. For three years Breinl was Director of the School's Runcorn Research laboratory. In 1910 he arrived in Townsville, Queensland, as the first Director of the Australian Institute of Tropical Medicine. He recruited staff, including a bacteriologist and a biochemist, oversaw the building of a laboratory, and established a research program that concentrated on mosquito-borne diseases, hookworm and filaria, and the physiology of working in tropical regions. During WWI the Institute's funding was severely curtailed. Breinl was subject to sustained racial criticism, and pressure from the Director of the Commonwealth Quarantine Medical Service, who wanted the Institute under his control in Sydney. Breinl resigned in 1920. He established a successful private practice in Townsville, continuing his association with the local hospital, including lecturing on midwifery to trainee nurses.19041904Education - Graduated in medicine, Charles University, PragueMay 19041907Career position - John Garrett International Fellow in Bacteriology, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine19051905Career event - Investigating yellow fever with Harold Thomas in Brasil19071909Career position - Director, Runcorn Research laboratory, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, United Kingdom19101910Award - Mary Kingsley Medal for Tropical Medicine, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, United KingdomJanuary 1910October 1920Career position - Inaugural Director, Institute of Tropical Medicine, Townsville19141914Life event - Naturalised as an Australian citizen19201944Career position - In private practice in Townsville
