The Center for Translational Research in Oncology (CTO), a laboratory complex based at the São Paulo State Cancer Institute (ICESP), and the Comprehensive Center for Precision Oncology (C2PO) at USP are organizing the International Symposium: Extracellular Vesicles in Cancer Biology.
The symposium will take place on September 15, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Brazil time; GMT-3), online via the Zoom platform.
This event is part of the BR14 CABBIO-CNPq Course and will bring together Brazilian and international experts to discuss the most recent advances in extracellular vesicle (EV) research and their applications in cancer biology. The symposium will be conducted entirely in English.
The symposium is aimed at students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of Biology, Biomedicine, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Medicine, and related areas.
Registration fees vary by group: Undergraduate students pay R$ 35.00; Graduate students pay R$ 60.00; and other professionals and interested participants pay R$ 75.00. Link for general registrations.
Professionals from HCFMUSP and C2PO members are exempt from the registration fee. Link for fee-exmpt registrations.
