In the first semester of 2026, a group of Sorbonne Université master’s students spent a semester abroad at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), diving into cancer research at some of C2PO’s leading laboratories. They talked to C2PO about their experiences at USP.
Ten research laboratories in the city of São Paulo are available to host students from Sorbonne Université, with opportunities to work on a range of topics in cancer research.
In an interview with C2PO, Dr. Luciana Barros, lead researcher of the study, explains how BreastOncoPredict was developed, the findings that surprised the researchers, and the next steps to validate the tool in other SUS hospitals.
The Folha de S. Paulo and Icesp Award recognized studies on acute myeloid leukemia and drug delivery to the brain, as well as the career of Prof. Dr. Luisa Lina Villa, who helped establish the link between HPV and cancer.
Researchers are finalists in the Oncology Research and Technological Innovation in Oncology categories. Organized by the Icesp and Folha de S. Paulo, the award ceremony will take place on August 12, 2026.
Software developed by USP and Icesp researchers uses routine blood test data to predict breast cancer recurrence risk, with the potential to expand access to prognostic assessment in Brazil’s public healthcare system
