About Us

The C2PO, Comprehensive Center for Precision Oncology, is a research center of the University of São Paulo (USP).

Created in 2023, C2PO was established with a dual mission: to coordinate research carried out across different USP Units and to disseminate high-quality scientific information.

The first mission of C2PO is to bring together research and innovation groups already active at the University, promoting the circulation of knowledge produced by these groups and encouraging the sharing of infrastructure available in USP’s various laboratories. In addition, the center is also tasked with making the work developed by USP scientists publicly accessible.

The second mission of the center is to provide the public with high-quality scientific information, dismantling stigmas and prejudices about cancer while combating misinformation.

C2PO is based at the São Paulo State Cancer Institute (ICESP) and at the Oncology Center of the Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto (CEONCO).
