The São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, and EU-LIFE announce the
FAPESP/EU-LIFE Symposium on Cancer Genomics, Inflammation & Immunity
June, 7, 8 and 9, 2016
FAPESP – Rua Pio XI, 1500 – Alto da Lapa – São Paulo, SP
The objective is to promote international collaborative research by strengthening relations between scientists from EU-LIFE Institutes and from state of São Paulo, through a strong scientific program and opportunities to meet leading scientists from both sides working in the field of Cancer Genomics and Immunology.
EU-LIFE is an alliance of 13 top research centers across Europe whose mission is to support and strengthen research excellence in the life sciences. Partners in EU-LIFE are renowned institutes that operate with similar principles of excellence, external reviews, independence, competitiveness, and internationality.
